f*kin hell.....

Had the car for 3 hrs - driving along in 2nd, accelarating, doing about 70ks - All of a sudden BANG. The rear lock up - blue smoke everhwere from the 300 semi slicks skidding from the lockup.

Can won't move - Engine OK - Can put in first, but it aint going anywhere.

I think the crown wheel in the diff shat itself and has locked into the spider pinion gears - rendering the locker diff really locked.

Had to leave car where it is and walk home in bare feet on the road - for 6kms - Forgot my mobile,

f*k it - I was just going round the (big) block to get some milk.

Back to the workshop.......

f*k it f*k it - 14 months in the workshop and it lasted 3 hours - not happy jan !

Sucks...bet you're glad it didn't happen on a high speed run though.

Sounds an interesting ride.

[NYTSKY]

Atleast it wasnt the engine

Should be a relatively easy fix.

But yes i feel you pain.

[JAS-25T]

B-manned the diff?

noice work!

lol

good luck with the (hopefully) easy fix B-Man

[evil_weevil]

dammit man, that sucks balls

Lucky the motor still goes, diff should be an easi-ish fix yeah? Hope so mate, cause I want to see this thing in action!!!

[B-Man]

Car is at workshop now - We think it's the diff but need to pull it apart to tell. I hope it's the crownwheel - so I just get another one and away we go -

But my feeling is that it is more than that is the whole axle is sitting about 2" to the left of centre - may have broken some suspension in the fierce lockup.

Apart from that little incident - the think pulls like a $50 whore from 5000 rpm to 6500 rpm. In other words - the turbo is too big - Looking at options for this now....

[2rismo]

Just sayin.

[NXTIME]

Smaller rear housing.

Nah, just n2o it.

[N1GTR]

Sorry to hear!

[evil_weevil]

twin charge?

[B-Man]

Went thru twin charge option with mechanic - that was my preference - I nearly bought an SC14 ($350) for it. But my guy says turbo is too small for this and the boost/revs overlap wouldn't be worth it.

Re smaller rear - being a KKK turbo - they are uncommon - spoke to Brett at CGC and they need to see the rub to match it - this would be best option. WE may be lucky that something may fit - FOund out rear AR is 1.15 - far out - if I had known that before..... oh well picked the KKK up for a song.

NOS - GREAT - but I wanna use it on the street.....as well.

GT3071 would be ideal but no $$ left ($1600)

Thought of getting new cams - but new turb would be similar $$

Also thought of overboring to a 2.4L

Oh.

In that case

[B-Man]

This turb would be a ball tearer on an RB25. Full boost by 4000 RPM I reckon and easy 300+ rwkw - abd being journal bearing - boost it to 30+ PSI easy for massive power.

[B-Man]

Ha ha - I'd need a 50lb bottle mate

[NXTIME]

What model KKK turbo is it?

[D_I_F]

Need a hug?

[B-Man]

KKK K27

[NXTIME]

Too big. They are off 3L+ turbo porsches. Perhaps a smaller rear off a K26 may fit?

[jay1]

shit bad luck dude

[B-Man]

Yep and 735 BMWs I think - and yeah -on the lookout for a K26 rear - an ideas ???
