E30-323ti 66 Report post Posted August 8, 2005 I haven't read anything about them blowing up (the centre, crown or pinnion), I have heard of the output shaft being stripped though. You don't have much choice other than a large case from a E23 to "bolt-in" to the E30, even then you have to cut the chassis rail and make new rear mounts.

I ran the open 3.46 behind mine with ~300hp for a year or so (I wasn't nice to it but I didn't purposefully do 1 wheelers everywhere) and it still feels fine and has over 300k on it.

I don't think it is the one you are thinking of Andrew, I spoke to that guy, he was running a VR LSD but blew it up too, last I heard he was sticking a live axle 9" in it, LOL, nasty!!!

Guest Andrew Report post Posted August 11, 2005 well in 2 months or so i'll be chucking some serious torque at my diff so we'll see how that goes. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
