Advice regarding diff for V161 gearbox


CarlM

Recommended Posts

Hi all,

 

I have a S362 single turbo auto and I've recently purchased a V161 for manual conversion

 

I have an A02B small case diff on my car

 

Ive got a couple of options regarding what diff to use but don't have any experience with different combinations and would like your help to get the best set up for my car

 

The options I have are

 

1. Buy a big case diff and use the PHR one piece prop I have

 

2. Buy a facelift 6speed prop that will fit my small case diff and keep my current diff on the car

 

I was wondering if anyone could advice me on the best format, and pros and cons

 

Many thanks

Carl

I've been reading up a bit on single turbo conversions ready to go look at one with a view to purchase and it probably comes down the horse power you are throwing out. The Larger diff with the 220mm crown seems to be the recommended one if your are going North of 550bhp. Particularly if you also opt for an aftermarket traction control that has a launch option.

 

Another thing you need to consider is the V161 mount and how stiff or solid that should be which again comes down to the horse power you are going to be putting through the transmission. You'd want to tie that into any modifications that you or others have made to the engine mounts regarding their solidity.

 

It really is a case of how much power you tend to or have the capability to apply.
