Supercar Engineering Crazy car handling pack: First impressions

[Fakepower]

its understeer , not oversteer.
over steer = rear end comes around
understeer = front end pushes

your car was understeering until you got on the power, after which the car oversteered ie "it feels like the arse end wants to come out "

[MR2]

DG, I don't know exactly how you are breaking your Quaife Front Diff's...(or is it center?) guess we're lucky we have SCE to make stronger ones than that!

[IPD]

nice articles. does it have a link to where i can buy the center?

Thanks, I get those two mixed up all the time

All three are TorSen diffs right?

[MR2]

Front two are Torsion, rear is just a normal clutchpack (has to be else they get snapped) hense the rear clunking a bit with low speed manouvers.

Just for the record:

Front Diff (Quaife)
Center Diff (SCE)
Rear Diff (Kaaz)

Engine is stock (15G's but stock boost)

Drive train wise:

I'm running the revised RPS Twin plate Carbon/Carbon Clutch
The Broomfield Racing Billet End Case
a McKeandVR4 Bell Housing plate (stops shafts separating)
& PST two piece Aluminium Drive Shaft (two piece for less vibration)

Oil Wise the GB has Castrol VXM-M
the Kaaz broke in on the Kaaz oil, then moved to Penrite Limslip.

Wow that's a lot of money stuck into the drivetrain with a near stock motor. Any big plans?

I try not to talk about stuff that's a while off...as the engine is atleast a year off (I have some debt to get rid of) in the long term plans however I have:


a pair of 6g75 Mivec heads currently being modified (by Oohnoo) to fit on a 6g74 block
6g74 block + 6g75 crank are sitting in my garage, eventually to be bore'd out to 95mm (should be around the 3.8L mark if all goes well) may need to grab one of Rays cranks as the 75 one looks a bit flexy!
on the turbo side of things I bought a 3sx turbo kit + terminators before working out that I could have afforded a DR Kit...oh well, I hear that Comp Turbo can do billet compressors and hopefully we can get some TiAL Turbines and bring them up to spec..
all in all I'm not sure at what point i'll be happy with it, still trying to get the brakes just right...believe I'm close on that one though! also not even sure what I'm going to get into(racing or driving wise)...just kinda plodding along and seeing how each mod feels

I know it's weird but I just like stuffing around with it

[GTOJOE]

Jacks sells all the diffs etc. I'm in discussion with him at the moment. Looking at converting my 5 speed to a USDM 6 speed and having the bell housing braced, billet end cap, all 3 diff upgrades and the 300m shaft [300m comes with the sce centre diff]. However he said the billet end cap is NOT required for my target [600AWHP]. Does anyone have any input on this?
