Hi all
Just wondering whos thrown wat at a bw diff, ive got a tiny bw lsd in my Lc and im now heading toward an auto with transbrake etc in my lc, my thoughts are maybe the Bw wont handle it maybe i should go back to the Nine inch? I know there a few Vl turbos runnin ten's nines still with borwarners but i dont know how much torque/dumpin there gettin?
Whats thoughts n what have u guys thrown at them?

I'm still using the B/W you sold me in my hypo Commodore

Rory runs one in his car (albeit with a locker if I recall correctly). I copied his setup for my hatch with a warm-ish 308, been to the drags a couple of times and give it a hard time everywhere with not a problem. Not sure if I can explain it but it feels so much more capable than the old Banjo!

Although when you say tiny do you mean 2 pinion/25 spline?

The weak point in the BW is the LSD centre. If you replace it with a spool, KAAZ or Lokka then it will be able to handle more power.

The weak point on the BW diff is the tubes plug welded into the housing, with slicks, sticky track and enough torque put to the ground on launch they just twist the tubes out of the housing.

Usually around 500Hp+ and a good rear end setup will do it.

Hrmm... Im currently LSd but was thinkin of goin the kazz centre!
Its got mini tubs adjsutable arms Coil overs and 18by10's! I dont really wanna go to nine inch (already cut the bw down n welded brackets to the cast EKK )but then i dont wanna break the borgwarner!

If it is mainly for the street the b/w will be fine,they can take a decent amount of power & abuse.I know of several 11sec commodores that have lasted a very lo9ng time only wearing out the lsd...of the ones that have broken eventually they were drag raced with slicks puttig out quite a bit of power & did numerous passes before breaking the old 2nd hand diff gears in them.

I'm still going to keep the b/w in my lc...it's still going quite well with the abuse I gave it.

Sounds like ill keep it! Just wanted be sure haha, Ive had two nine inch failures but both by the ppl who built it! The others Spesh this one have been bullet proof! but built by a good friend usin quality parts!!
Cheers
