Just for those kids watching at home, it isn't strictly the power level that breaks these differentials, it's the power delivery/driving style. Harsh dumping of the clutch at a sticky drag strip with sticky tyres increases the probability of these sorts of issues. Whereas pulling away from the line with some mechanical sympathy before stomping on the power will improve longevity of the diff as well as other such common failure points like the transmission.

Try preload launching. Hold ebrake and go to the clutch 'bite/grab' point, then release clutch even more to give momentary high preload and fully release the clutch. It should slingshot you out of the dig. Also, slip the clutch, don't drop it. It can't shock something, that is tensed up. Football kick can knock out a calmly standing person, but it won't knock out footballer with tensed up body prepared to hit a ball with his head. Same principle.

Then add the support of the top and bottom, then add the support of the bits crossing the inner cavity. This shit dummy strong now. If anything he'll break an axle or ring gear.

I think one big improvement of your drag times would be if you changed the final drive ratio. From the video on the drag strip i could tell that you were shifting way too much and didnt really get into boost for too long and lost a lot of time shifting.
@wowthtsgood
@wowthtsgood 3 жыл бұрын
yeah most miatas come stock with a 3.9 or 4.10 to compensate for the lack of torque in the little 1.6/1.8. Also, if I'm not mistaken, Gingium is running the 6 speed, which has the same gear ratio range as the 5 speed, just closer together with that extra gear. Those closer gears are great for staying in boost, but not great for 1/4 mile times. At the end of the day, miatas are cornering cars, so i doubt he'll want to change the rear end and sacrifice his torque out of corners

@@wowthtsgood I appreciate it's not a great margin till you see the differences at top speed. My current 1.8 has a 5spd box and 4.3 diff and does 140mph@7k in 5th. I'm not sure what diffs were in my previous mx5s. My old 1.6s barely made 115 at 7k and they were both 5spd. A change of box to a 6 with the diff from my 1.6 would exasperate the problem and would reduce the vehicles top speed notably. That wouldn't please my needs.
