kaaz 1.6 diffs. good for 220rwhp?
 

hey guys, im new
ive been given the opportunity to purchase a brand new kaaz 1.5 way lsd for my 1.6 miata for around $400USD. is this strong enough to take up to 220rwhp? im hopeing someone here has had turbo experience with them

im from New Zealand btw, over here we call em mx5's :) crazy talk

The parts that break on 1.6L diffs are the 6" ring gear and small pinions. Upgrading to a different limited slip meatball will do nothing for the strength of the diff.

... so in other words i shouldnt buy it since their is no way of strengthening the weak parts

damn that was pretty cheap too
oh well

if you find a good kaaz for 1.8 rear let me know

Its the small ring and pinion gears that are weak, not the diff. You need a 1.8L diff.

Sorry bud, I'm in the same boat. I've actually been thinking about selling my 92 and getting a 94+ just to get the 1.8, tranny and diff without having to waste anymore time on the thing.. But I already have the VLSD so I may just wait till it dies and I have a reason to upgrade..

hmmm

well im pricing up a nb lsd conversion kit next week from a mazda wrecker, what do you think it will set me back?

well see, in nz im guessing with all the imports we have stuff will be a bit cheaper

if its too much ill go buy a megasquirt instead

Peace

What does 557795 mean.

Limited slip 1.8 differential swaps here in the states will run from 500 - 1000$ from what I've seen. If you're calling a wrecker to source one, request the cars VIN and call your Mazda dealer with it -- They can look it up and check to see if OEM it had Limited slip.

well thats within my budget =D

557795 is just a number, a phone number, a part of an email address, it was allocated to me, its my number

hopefully getting flanges sent in to be cut up for a turbo manifold tomorrow
