Since I've been looking into ls1 FC's, a lot of talk has been about the streagth of rear ends. So how does a rear end work? What's it consist of? Thanks guys

rear end could also mean the whole rear drivetrain/suspension
guys with V8 powered datsun z's tend to break everything back there. some swap to an r200 differential and CV shafts which are several times stronger then beaf up the suspension some convert to sold read axel some use corvette c4 rear ends. im sure its the same situation for an FC. car was never designed for the size and shape of a powerful v8's powerband, much like the datsun z's -------------------- 1994 Celica GT4 WRC Edition

Basically, the rear end transfers power from the drive shaft to the axle shafts. These old school datsun guys get a mean LS1 or such engine that has great power, and a great tranny. When they put big tires on, they get great traction. Hp is no problem, but that 3-400 lbs of torque have to go somewhere. The tranny is Plenty strong to handle it, but that little basket in the back just isn't up to the task. This post has been edited by FallenHero: Dec 1, 2004 - 4:33 PM |
