]2eDeYe Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 Even Redeye had to get the master Savior Jeff Hino to get his truck going.(Lucky for us he is local) Technically I didn't 'have' to have his help, but he did the wiring waaaay faster than I would have. :lol: Quote Link to comment

I also have had a stock open diff break and lock up on me at speed. No one died....I will say you should know what you are doing when/if you weld it up, or have someone that knows what they are doing do it for you. There are also no more LSD's manufactured for the H190 diff, I have been trying to source one for a couple years now. I'll do a slight retract on that one- while I do know quite a few guys who run welded diffs (on the track), and havent died yet.. :) I have also seen some downright SCARY weld jobs done by either an inexperienced welder, or someone who just didn't care. Either way- your and everyone elses safety relies on you making sure your vehicle is safe. http://www.e30tech.com/forum/showthread.php?t=69845 Quote Link to comment
banzai510(hainz) Posted January 25, 2011 Report Share Posted January 25, 2011 swap to a manual trans and put some sidedrafts on there.this might help a weber downdraft is just a very good slightly bigger stock carb that is Ezer to rebuild PS KAs are "the shit" if you go this route then get jeffs relay box look under CanAM in the sale section Quote Link to comment

Gearheadcurt Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 well I have found swaybars, and a place to store this project, I believe fellas this project is under way also what power plant would be the best bet? because I dont want to swap out the trans for a manual just to sway out the engine and trans later on for more power p.s I have a few years of track days, autoX's, and driving schools under my belt, Quote Link to comment
Llittle_Llama Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Screw it, swap to a five speed anyway. You will need to source pedals and everything anyway, might as well get it all hooked up and drive it for a few months while you wait ;) Quote Link to comment
Gearheadcurt Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 ok it has been desided, I am going to drift this thing, 4 speed is on the way Quote Link to comment
Gearheadcurt Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 does anyone have the pedals and cab parts needed for this swap? anyone? Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 26, 2011 Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 Either way- your and everyone elses safety relies on you making sure your vehicle is safe. Well said. does anyone have the pedals and cab parts needed for this swap? anyone? I might, but shipping would be a bitch. Quote Link to comment
Gearheadcurt Posted January 26, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 26, 2011 I dont need the trans I just need everything else Quote Link to comment

A welded diff will cause variable understeer going into a corner (traction dependant) then oversteer as one or both tires break loose. Somewhat predictable on level dry pavement, not so easy to read on hilly turns, wet, mud or variable combinations. Welded diffs also wear out the tires faster, duh!, and the force has to go some where so axle splines tend to break. Quote Link to comment
