What about the drag axles?

 

What about them....

Your differential will go out before the axles do

If you get the KAZZ differential... than your axles might go out

So if your going with KAAZ... get the axles too

I mean, it says that the drag axles are guaranteed up to 300 hp. What about more than 300?

 

Hey we don't have a bong over here we have crack instead much more fun trying to make parts hehehe..

Na just kidding, also depends on the stage 4 if it is sprung or unsprung.. smile.gif

we sell both
some like it some don't kinda like a almond joy

 

Just as a point of contention...

The only axle I've ever seen break on a Tib was when Onpol's modified differential (the one with the phantom grip) internally ripped itself to shreds and took the very end of the axle with it. Even when he broke his 3rd stock diff on the dyno while making 350+ wheel horsepower, the axles didn't seem to care.

I am not convinced, at least yet, that the stock axles are any sort of weak spot. I DO know that the stock differential will break LONG before the stock axles do; unless the diff comes apart like Onpol's did and takes a piece of the axle with it.

But his case was a rare one, and he's yet to eat another axle since then -- even though he's on his fourth differential. I would expect that a Quaiffe diff, combined with a set of 22" Mickey Thompson slicks and launching at 4K with 300 pounds of torque might start stressing the stock axles...

But realistically, I would worry about axles only after you're broken one. A broken axle rarely, if ever, takes anything else out with it. Nearly 100% of the time they're broken on a hard drag launch, and you'll hear it come apart.

A lot of Civics run 300+WHP on drag slicks on stock axles without issue. For myself, I'm going to abuse the stock axles until I break one. When it breaks, I know it's time to upgrade

 

The big question is: Could I buy an LSD from Quaife?

 

for a hyundai
No

You need to buy one for an AWD eclipse and do some modifications to it... modifications that are not easy to do...

Until we get about 10 people who have 1000 sitting around and want a bullet proof LSD... we wont be getting one

The question to ask is....

The 03 differentials... are they the same? are they compatible?
Has hyundai beefed them up a bit?
i know the 03 is being tested a lot by aftermarket companies, and i have heard that the engine has gone out... BUT
what about the tranny?

 

If the accent tranny uses the same diff, you'd pretty much have another buyer right here.

 

what is about the common whp limit that the stock diffs can hold? red? you said a diff will go before an axle. typically what power levels have you seen diffs begin to fail at? (so i can NOT go that high when i tune eek! )
