Sad thing is, he's going through all that trouble for the AE viscous limited slip differential INSTEAD of getting the Quaife.

Yes, but do you realize how much easier it will be to install with the tranny OUT. If your looking at replacing it later it's 10-14hrs. MINIMUM.
I'm betting it's less than 5 with the tranny out. I don't think you can do it without removing the tranny. However, it is an extra $1300 or whatever, so I understand.
I'm just betting the first time you ever try and dump the clutch with 300+hp and 275+tq, YOUR GOING TO OVERPOWER the LSD and it's not going to be pretty. It will still work, but viscous coupling is NOTHING compared to gear driven when your making MAJOR hp and especially tq.
I guess jahns114 or whoever would know.

I've seen full conversion deals go for anywhere between $200 to $1500 from junkyards (regular trannys). You just need to get lucky finding a place.
Thanks, Elbert.

Don't worry about the LSD being overpowered. The "soon to be" turbo lag should keep that to a minimum.

Not done yet. The tranny needs to be swapped out and the shift assembly needs to be put on. Simple two step process, eh? Hehehe

Hehehe Daniel (mingo) wants to watch too. I want to try and do this by myself... The only thing Matthel and Daniel will need to do is call 911 when the tranny drops on me.![shiner](https://maxima.org/forums/images/smilies/shiner.gif)

I totally agree with you, but another $1400 is a lot of bling bling. Besides, I don't trust myself opening up a brand spanking new tranny (yes, I know I can get one from a junkyard, but I would want a new tranny if the Quaife was going in).

There were some problems with the turbo, so PFIspeed had to return it. I'm hoping to receive the kit soon after the tranny swap.
I'm going to dyno the 2.87" with the 5 speed in place before selling the SC.

T3/T4 would be more for street racing... but I do most of my stuff on the freeway, hence the larger compressor.
