whoa sorry to hear that bobby, do u have any more details on the circumstances when it went out?

 

was taking a friend for a ride to demonstrate the pure unadulterated power of a 7psi comptech supercharged s2000 with 4.77s and kaaaboom. I punched it from a 5mph roll and then hit second thats when it exploded. It didn't even give me any signs that it was going bad, no noise nothing.

 

wow, well theres go my dream of sc'ing my car for sure, one to many experiences from people i know

 

i think i'm going to be rocking the stock gears for a while until i figure what i want to do. I'm just going to have to baby it. I just need a good core.

 

Ouch, that sucks bro!

 

sorry abt the diff man, been there...twice... lol making me rethink the 10psi pulley again

 

hmmm... i wonder if it was the pinion gear that broke as it's weaker on a 4.77 ratio.

 

The teeth broke off the ring gear and bound up in the pinion and just exploded in the diff. The case cracked and blew the flanges and the axles out of the diff. No more 4.77s for me thats for sure. Great for NA, but far to weak for FI. I sure am going to miss them, but what are you going to do. When I do send the diff i'm getting to hardtop guy i maybe going with the 4.57s because they are much stronger. I think cause they are an actual Richmond gear and not out of a dam Kia.
