Boosted ZC Opinions Wanted

Post by luvmyhondas »

would definitely depend on how abusive it was driven. clutch dumps/hard launches I would imagine would severely shorten the lifespan of the stock diffs and those spindley ass rear axles. I don't know exactly the percentage of torque split, but I can't imagine that it would be any more than 70% max to the rear (that's the MAX a Ridgeline can transfer to the rear using a more sophisticated AWD system).

as far as which D to put in there....well, it's got a d16a6 now correct? just boost that. If you feel the need for VTEC just mini me that bish. when that gets boring, build a z6 or something and swap it in. You know D's are cheap.

people running 400hp on them. there is this little thing called preloading. as long as you do that everytime then you will never have problems with stock axles.
