SYKOV6 Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Brought it anyway. Went real cheap.Might sit on it till I decide what to do. what ratio is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted September 18, 2006 Author Share Posted September 18, 2006 2.7:1 ratio. Think 2.77 to be exact. Will find out when I pick it up this weekend. I think in the end im going to run with a standard escort diff, heat treated axles and a Quife LSD set. Might see how RTs go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 you should keep a keen eye out for a MK1 V6 'narrow' atlas. As it is 2" shorter than standard capri axle is it a good fit for a escort. thats what I run.. hard to find though and every cunt wants one. if you run the standard english axle with a quaife & a boosted 2L you will be changing half shafts every weekend lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raizer Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Is that from all the mk1 V6 Capri's? Iv got a 69 1600GT with a 3L diff and suspension from a 69/70 model here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats the capri one? Do you think the standard english with LSD and heat treated axles will still break? I really need to talk to someone using one with biggish power. Other option is the v6 tina borg warner and a falcon LSD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RT Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 1350mm drum to drum for escort? Whats the capri one? 50" for a narrow atlas 52" standard capri diff. Do you think the standard english with LSD and heat treated axles will still break? I really need to talk to someone using one with biggish power. yep.. they were never designed to take anywhere near what you plan on putting through it.. you're n/a pinto with sidesuckers could kill it with a few good launchs. The LSD isn't going to help.. it's only going to put more strain on the halfshafts(axles) and they will break. my mate is also planning to use a Atlas V6 behind his VG30DET with 450hp so it is the way to go.

Raizer Posted September 18, 2006 Share Posted September 18, 2006 Now that i know that it will be going into my van, was going to put the Capri leaves in anyway. Unless methz wants to make me a offer i cant refuse... lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Honda Ass Dragger Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 From the horse's mouth at heat treatments, heat treating stanrdard axels is a waste of time, only time that there is any gain to be made from heat treating is if they are custom made axels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted September 19, 2006 Author Share Posted September 19, 2006 1350mm drum to drum for escort? Whats the capri one? 50" for a narrow atlas 52" standard capri diff. Do you think the standard english with LSD and heat treated axles will still break? I really need to talk to someone using one with biggish power. my mate is also planning to use a Atlas V6 behind his VG30DET with 450hp so it is the way to go. Hmm 50inch or even 52inch is too skinny for an escort. Are you sure thats the width? 50inch is 1270mm. Drum to drum I supose? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted September 19, 2006 Share Posted September 19, 2006 auto torque bias lsd units are around 1500 brand new for both Atlas and English axles. I'd say English axles are ok for ragging around 130hp at the wheels.. if you weren't dropping clutches hard maybe 160.. I knew a guy who was breakin shafts every weekend with a 200hp pinto escort.

SYKOV6 Posted September 20, 2006 Share Posted September 20, 2006 the size is correct as it was shorter than stock because he had deep dish wheels it also has discs. just mini tub the esky and fit sum 8-9 rims would look phat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
