So are these things holding up. I really need something for the drag car and the more I think about it a welded diff and snapping an axle with the welded diff just doesnt seem like a smart or safe choice.

 

not first hand, but 1.5 hand i suppose, haha. it works, but don't expect anything like a quaife. but can't complain with the price. It was pulled out though for an upgrade. Application was a drag car with an H2B.

 

Used a couple now and they work perfect.Good idea to strip it down and reassemble with upgraded Beleville washers and re tourqe etc.You can order new washers from this guy rich_bryant_is@yahoo.com and the write up is http://www.marcuccimotorsports.com/j...eplacement.pdf or the honda tech one at http://www.honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1752849&page=1.They are a good unit and i will never buy a Quaife as the OBX works exactly the same and is not $500 overpriced.There is no way a diff the size of a something from a ATV should cost more then a third member for a 9"

 

Been using mine for well over 6 months with no complants. I'm only pushing a little over 200hp, but live in the mtns, and have gone to the drag strip a couple of times. Also, I have a friend with a DA pushing 400hp, also with no issues. I think they got the new units fiqured out, just don't buy an older one.

 

from what iv read and herd the main problem is that you just have to fix the washer problem and clean the insides torque them down to spec. Im buying one when i finish my vitara build.

 

----, i bought one about 2 years ago and threw it in w/o the washer bs just how it came and i havnt had a problem yet. itll leave 2 black marks for a good 50 feet. im pushin 200whp.


whats with the replacement of those washers? i mean, whats the reason they need replaceing :edit nvm, i read the pdf file and its answered there.

 

Been using it over a year now.. 2 trannies later the diff still work fine.
