slightly modified viper diff

Why did the crank have to come out Andy?

[Blair357ci]

To change the trigger wheel for an LS2 one

[radiomike]

I understand, you are keeping the LS2 ECU, makes sense as it is all installed.

[tinker-27]

Yes keeping the ls2 management etc as its there and no point buying new stuff , pain swapping the reluctor wheel but easier in the long run , the real pain was the old ls2 motor went into a tvr that needed a 58t wheel so that needed swapping as well !!!

Inside my viper diff after Craig gave it a good clean out:




Diff with driveshaft socket attached:




Craig's Super-Frankenstein-Subframe-and-Diff-Creation starts to take shape:

Today's work. I'm not sure this will be strong enough, personally.

[redgriff500]

I think he's trying to slow you down by adding 1/2 ton to your car !

[Blair357ci]

Think you might need longer bolts........

It's in my van I'm meant to be taking it to the powdercoaters but think I might weigh it in & have a holiday instead

[papercup]

A bit more weight over the rear wheels isn't going to do that car any harm! Its tricky enough to get power down out of a corner with all that torque.

I'll corner-weight it again afterwards, and see what we've added, and, more importantly, where...

[tinker-27]

Not to worry a People it's now a alloy casing not cast iron as before !! There is always a plan .

[redgriff500]

I was joking, with the power it's got I don't think you could add enough weight to matter.

[tinker-27]

The speaker set up weighs more than the diff !!

Back axle looks stronger now!

Does the TR6060 require a different slave to the T56? Our Camaro slave has a quick connect extension piece that faces to the rear of the car. Would be easier to hook up to the earlier design with the simple radial extension which accepts a banjo. Which style will you land up using?

That sounds like a question for Craig! I haven't even seen the gearbox yet, it was in a box when i dropped the car up to him, and I haven't been back since.

I'm sure he'll be along shortly.....ish......
