slydog 7,873 Posted July 24, 2014 So Mossy backed up the 11.04 from a week ago with a 11.10 11.08 and 11.05 all @ 119mph plus on Wednesday night.But...the kicker is it ran a 1.501 60ft.Sure is getting out of the hole for a foot brake NAT ASP 250.You can smell a 10 sec pass form this car. Well done Mossy. 1 dougie77 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted July 24, 2014 Nice cold air by the sounds and one seriously fast corty. great stuff mossy and thanks for the update Rob. 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted July 25, 2014 He's getting some awesome bite out of the hole but top gear is under-utilised. Maybe he can go a little shorter in diff gears? 1 slydog reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted July 25, 2014 BW diff...4:11 already,can't go any lower without going to 9" which would mean extra unwanted weight so the gain may not actually be there to be had.Crossing the line @ RPM but the aero and the torque/hp not been that of a 8 or boosted car the longer the track is the more a NAT ASP 6cyl will suffer. Apparently some diesel Gemini's used a BW diff where the gears are a 4.3? Any info on this guys? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NZXD 2,328 Posted July 25, 2014 I'm sure the r31 skyline for the Australian markets use a bw diff with 4.3 gears or similar? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted July 26, 2014 Skylines do run a BW diff in 3.9 and 4.11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted July 26, 2014 Might be able to source gears from the states, as some 3rd gen Camaros used the Aussie BW diff and there are some aftermarket bits available. They call them the "GM 9-bolt" diff over there. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted July 26, 2014 They use 3.7 as there lowest...yes Ive asked a few I'd love to run 4.56's and some 275/295 60 15's 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ando76 4,354 Posted July 27, 2014 What's wrong with the good old 'poor man's' 9" ??? Seen plenty of them in speedway Cortinas and they come up on speedway forums all the time. Good choice of ratio's and strong as an ox with 30 spline axles in the diesel models. Gav runs one in his KE35 corolla with 450@ the tyres so if that's not strong enough I don't know what is. We run one in Brenton's Cortina speedway car with 5.8 gears. I'd go that way before I went to a power robbing - heavy as fek 9" 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P100_Ute 460 Posted July 27, 2014 The Hiace diff I putting in mine has 4.3:1 ratio but im looking at 3.7's. Lsd center in that ratio is $1000 alone. 30 spline axles and disc brakes. Garenteed win 1 NZXD reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PRO250 1,506 Posted July 27, 2014 i have ben told the old gems in diesels run a 4.3 diff adam i think knows somone that has a set to Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
P100_Ute 460 Posted July 27, 2014 KE55 auto runs a 4.3 ratio borgy. (Unsure if bw75 or 78) KE70 auto is 4.3 ratio borgy but its 8 bolt hat (bw75) which is weak small diff. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TF_250 398 Posted July 28, 2014 Ken doesn't need a diff change, he has only just got on top of the tune up and has just fitted a data logger so once he starts fine tuning the 10 will come!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted July 28, 2014 Agree Ken is still getting on top of his setup so he will crack the tens soon enough. No need for whole sale changes, just easy as she goes. 4 hundredths is a life time in drag racing but that's only when you are at the end of your tether wondering where to go next.
