Need some advise - Eaton G80 Limited Slip Diff - 1040/4.10 is it worth it? 200

I worry the M47 II transmission you have would inevitably break as the aluminum case design was never meant to handle, AFAIK, power beyond that of a normally aspired eight-valve B2xx engine.

You could drift in the snow and ice, so much more gentle than drifting with turbo-ed quattrovalve B234 on asphalt and concrete. Do so and the glass gears of an M47 will eat itself.

Moving to the 4.10 aft end ratio alone may add some stress to the gear box with the factory eight valve normally aspired B2xx engine.

Consider an M90L (I believe), a gear box from a late 1980s Toyota Supra with the I-6 engine, a latest version T-5 or better, or like beefcake gear box.

Or our friend, the M46 with later P-Type O-Drive.

Rarely there may be the steel-cased M47 along the production run for Turbo RWD Volvo four cylinder, yet whether that made it to North America ....

Yet I broach mythos there. See turbobricks.

That stated, congrats on the Eaton find. Your image appears as an Eaton locker diff and not the typical Dayna limited slip clutch diff you find in factory 240.

All said, I'm very jealous you can do what you're doing there with your perform up mod. Awesomeness.

Hope that helps.

Dry Cured Juniper Mutton Minced and Cased. With Birch smoke? Yay, Finland!

Found on teh facebook .... had to plagiarize ...
