Differential Temperature
Thought I'd post this up as informational. I was curious as to the temperature that my diff was reaching, mainly because I've put in the MFactory mechanical LSD and want to make sure I'm not going to toast it on the track.. The fluid that I use is Torco RTF and the viscosity of that fluid goes down quite a bit after 220F.
Anyway, I installed a new cover and added a temp gauge and so far under both normal and canyon driving I've hardly been over 140F.. I'll update this thread once I get back out on the track as I KNOW I'm harder on the car there than the canyons.. to paranoid in canyons.. |

FWIW, I overheated my OS Giken at the track... this is with the Cusco diff cover. My setup is a bit extreme though: 5.29:1 final drive, 11k engine RPM. This was before adding an external cooler and temp probe.

I tried this one out. I had to notch some of the fins off to clear the Perrin exhaust.
