Hi Scotty, It's looking great.
so that's 10lbs with the tripod housings, sprocket spider and bearings?
Any sneak at a cost?

Thanks for all your help.

[scotty young Taylor Race]

Yep.....

Still hashing on the cost side ...

It is 8" wide from stub to stub
4.750 bearing center to center with 115mm OD bearings

[sbrenaman]

What sizes are the LH and RH bearings?

[scotty young Taylor Race]

Both are the same.....

115 mm....

And....I sent you an e-mail Scott... I have two 02004141.

[Ben K]

Sexy. What was its weight before....?

[scotty young Taylor Race]

With the steel center we where around 16 / 17.
Aluminum center was 14 or so..

[JT A.]

Is this a torsen-based or clutch pack diff?

[scotty young Taylor Race]

ATB.....Sort of like a toresen.. just not as many parts

Scotty,

That looks fantastic, I'm sure our guys would love to try and see how that would fit with the current car. Will you be producing some 2d drawings or iges files for teams to try and fit it to their car models?

It's beautiful! I too have a couple of questions if you are able to release more details currently:

The spider looks to attach via 3 (m4 ?) bolts. Or is the transmission mechanism a spline hidden by a snap ring(?) Some teams like to use floating rotor or one piece rotors. Is it possible to remove the spider and attach your own integrated rotor, or floating rotor style spider in place?

What level of dissasembly is required to remove the tripods?

Also what torque is it rated up to - The same as the previous gen?!

[rjwoods77]

JWard,

Pretty sure those are "anti snap ring flying off during high speed rotation" bolts.

Scotty,

I have always been curious how to judge the the parallel axis helical diffs (t-2 torsen, quaife, wavetrac,etc) different from each others in terms of performance. It is all in the gear tooth profiles and twist angles?

Scotty it looks gorgeous and 10lbs sound really nice for the whole assembly. Truth is I prefer clutchpack LSD's as they seem easier to understand/setup. They also seem much easier to build to me... Nevertheless, will it be any possibility to get it with a custom tripod housing regarding dimensions?

[JWard]

that would make sense actually http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_rolleyes.gif . Us electronic engineers don't get this mechanical engineering. In which case, is the spider integrated into the dif housing, or a splined piece?

[Drew Price]

This is what it looks like to me:

Kevin, we will be making installation drawings and CAD so that everyone can plan for their next cars.



JWard, the tripods are held on by an snap ring on a spline inside the tripod so all you have to do is remove the boot and axle to get at it. The torque handling is similar to the current chain drive as it is still the same internals. The rotor adaptor is completely up to the teams if they want to make their own, just have to remove the 3 bolts and snap ring. We can also make them custom if given a little time.



Mech5496, the tripod dimensions are adjustable until the OD starts to interfere with the ID of the housing.



Drew, nice picture and you nailed it.

Big thanks to my new engineer/bosses on this one,

Greg , Dave and Pavan....
