Holy Crap!! How do you get anything like that to stay together? I can't imagine what type of diff would fit and handle those loads. Anybody else have any ideas

Background: This is a turbo S2000 dyno graph. It's the daily driver of the brother of a guy I work with. I asked about the drivetrain and he didn't know the specifics. Some type of small clutch pack, very easy to stall; but no info about the diff.

Welcome to yesterday.

 

yeah chris has posted some of the details here about it before, you'll have to search though, I don't remember the specifics of his setup

I think he has mentioned before that the secret to his diff holding up is by not launching the car.............

 

How about last year? This S2000 has been heavily documented on this site. It is an extremely impressive accomplishment.

 

Dayumnnnnn

 

It seems to me that the difference in differential abuse between a 300 HP car, and a 600 HP car will be very small. Unless you do a complete burn-out, and spin the wheels from 0 to 40 MPH in .01 seconds, the amount of force that the diff will experience will be limitted by tire traction.
