how do the live axle ratios effect bec performance? been reading up but cant find much about gearing. especially regarding the striker,fury and phoenix! cheers
my 3.54 is about right for the 5vy r1 engine and was also right for the carbed blade engine. not sure about the newer blades but from when i looked into it the busa or zx10 are no good with a live axle.
My furys on a 3.54 diff and is ok but it previously on 3.89 and was way to revvy on a run
As above - Carb'd Blades and R1s are about all you can use with a 3.54 ratio.
is it possible to fit a higher geared ratio to a live axle diff? around 3.3;1 or 3.2;1
I run a Triumph Dolomite 1850 auto axle in my carbed blade which i think is good and is 3.27:1.
do you run the complete back axle or just the diff and modded halfshafts? im lookin at an lsd if possible? cheers guys
Complete axle.
Not sure you'll get a lsd easilly.
no.but a fair amount of the ford axles have lsds in the kits. was wondering if a different ratio could be fiotted to the ford axle?
The ital axle was fitted in the caterham for a while that was available as a 3.27 and you can also get a lsd i believe.
You need to hunt down a Capri axle, 3ltr has a nice low ratio, 2.8i special (the later ones) had LSD although both a bit rare now and a couple of inches wider than an escort.
I also run a 3.54 in my F27, with a carbed blade. Would be nice to have a bit more top end, as I'm maxed out at 120ish.
