Stock Transmission/Transfer Case power Limits???
Does anyone know the stock transmission and transfer case limits??? I'm talking about with a proper launch what power range should you be questioning its limits??? what about with a 2 step launch such as with an ems or other engine management systems??? would that be different since your able to create boost at the line???
I've looked and can't find a clear answer for this Please help out Thanks |
When it goes BOOM, you just exceeded the limit.

Seriously, a part can fail at any given time. There is no set limit you can push it too. Parts fail at low horsepower and high horsepower.

lol yeah but I'd like kind of a rough estimate. Can't afford to have it go boom haha |

my whole drivetrain is stock except for my ACT XTSS

Your TC will eventually go out even at stock power levels if you did not break it in 100% properly and if you launch it enough. It's not that the TC is weak, it is that Getrag apparently did not set the ring/pinion mesh zone optimally in all the TCs. At least that is what I've been told is the cause of most ring/pinion failures.
Now if you are talking about strength of the front diff (inside the TC), that IS a weak link and it is fairly inexpensive to get forged gears installed. I think it is more a matter of Time x HP. The more HP you have the less time you have till something goes. . . EVOlutionary |
ok thanks for ya'lls replies

someone mentioned getting stronger/forged gears. Where would I find these? or just a built x-fer case from shep or tre ? |
I wouldnt worry about, when it breaks send it to Shep and be done with it. Like most people said it can break whenever, stock or 500hp just depends on how you treat it.

Correct me if i'm wrong but doesn't buschur have a 9 second car thats running ALL the stock drivetrain? It really does depend on how you treat it. Theres many ways for you to feed the tranny and transfer case power, harshly or smoothly. Depending on how you drive and how often you drive it that way, it could go sooner or it could go later. Its a really subjective question is all.

If you treat it nicely. I'm sure anything on the stock turbo would be okay.
