At the 1/8th mile last night and launched off the 2-step (11psi) 5000 RPM and bam went my diff. It broke the case and everything. I was running the ET streets with Tien HA's set to soft. I have a ITS 66DBB turbo with EMS.

If anyone has or knows of someone that does have a J-spec or US spec complete six speed rear end (pumpkin, hog's head) case and all let me know please.

Damn man, that sucks!
Did it wheel hop?

 

[SupraNatural]

Nope. It didn't move a bit. It's at your cousins shop in SB. By the way PM me your cousins name, shop name and address. He's the guy with the Alaskin husky. He towed me late last night to his shop.

That's odd, you shouldn't be making enough power to do that! It must've been flawed from the factory or something.

Pmed you on the diff..

would TRD gears prevented this?

 

[SupraNatural]

I'm not sure if they would have or not.

It's the road coarse for me from now on. I'll build a cheap car for the strip.

Shouldn't have broken the stock gears. Sounds like there was a deeper problem. There are hundreds of guys hitting the diff w/ alot more power that haven't had any problems. Just sounds like a factory flaw to me... Bad deal for the owner of the car, but don't let it discourage you.

Will a J-spec rear end bolt right up? What's the difference besides it being a 3.27 instead of a 3.13?

 

[98mkiv]

bolts right up, yes.

 

[Suprafied]

Were these bias-ply or the radial ET streets?

Plain old ET streets. Not radials.

wheel hop FTL.

 

[SupraNatural]

Didn't wheel hop. It didn't move an inch just went pop.
