The one notable benefit of having crappy or average tires is knowing you probably won't shatter your driveline. Rob Dahm's old videos of his 3-rotor come to mind. I vividly remember when he snapped the output shaft of his transmission in two.

The machining is just plain art. Genuinely a fine craft built with meticulous detail, knowledge, and love. Incredible.

Yea I agree, seems like bigger is better mentality here which is not often the case.

18:30 long video, but feels like 5 minutes. Damn... So enjoyable to watch from beginning to the end. Thanks for the effort guys.

You should look up what the Eaton wants for oil. 75w-140 will wear faster. The marking on the back is for the stock diff.

You guys keep raising the bar with your filming. It's not easy to make something dry like building a diff entertaining, but the shots are eye candy. Really nice lighting. Starting with the end and telling the story backwards also helps with engagement.

I had an EVO transfer case done by TRE, and spoke with John on the phone a couple times. He's so knowledgeable that unless you're taking notes, conversations with him can feel the way this video represented. Haha. I asked about what fluid to run and got a full breakdown of about 10 different fluids. Awesome, knowledgeable people there at TRE

Not even Discovery can purchase this level of detail, video quality and honest video production. Keep it up guys..

This is gonna be a great build evolution. Love to see it.

Great vid as always, my fav content from you guys. Love watching the artisans just work.

I figured there'd be some engine modifications as well. (: That differential is a work of art. It came out looking so beautiful. I am excited to see what kind of power you all make and the new diff taking said power.

I did the Ronin Speed Works 8.8 IRS diff in my Turbo LS FD wayyyy back in the day. It was the single best mod I did to the car. I BEAT THE HECK out of the car on the street and at the track, and never had a single issue with 700hp/torque! Great vid guys. Great upgrade! I always wanted a turbo K swap FD!

Your videos feature shops (TRE, Ronnie, ASM) are videography perfection. Also, all your race driver features ( Jackie Ding, KS tuned, Vibrant) are so amazing and sorely missed.

Great video! I work at Moser Engineering who specializes in building rear ends and axles and the 8.8 is the common way to go for a build like that. The one thing I would say from experience, the Truetrac recommends running non-synthetic fluids however they’ve tested synthetic oil and mentioned it works however they don’t recommend. Also a friction modifier in a gear driven unit is also not recommended (by Truetrac) because they decrease performance because it reduces differential bias. Just a friendly heads up, keep up the great videos!

Music is on point🎉

That diff is ARTWORK!

Hi viewers, i've done tons of reading about various diffs. Diff: (examples) Basic description. Operation during tight turns, how aggressive the diff is: Street? Track? Drift? Open diffs: Nothing is forcing the wheels to rotate together. Smoothest operation, zero aggressiveness: Great for street driving. Bad for track. Bad for drifting. Helical diffs: (TorSen, Tru Trac, etc.) They are open diffs until enough force pushes the gears into the casing to try to force the wheels to rotate together. Smooth operation, not aggressive: Great for street cars. Fine for track. Bad for drifting. Clutch-type diffs: (Posi, Trac-Lok, etc.) They are diffs that utilize clutches that are pressed together when the wheels are rotating at different speeds to force them to rotate together. Can be tuned. Operation isn't super smooth, aggresiveness depends on tuning: Fine for street cars. Good for track. Fine for drifting. Viscous diffs: They are clutch type diffs that essentially use wet clutches instead of dry clutches so that they're far less aggressive than aftermarket clutch-type diffs. Smooth operation, not aggressive. Great for street cars. Fine for track. Bad for drifting. The above diffs really aren't "locked". The wheels are persuaded to spin together rather than firmly locked together. To achieve that you need either a selectable locker, an automatic locker, or a locked diff. Selectable lockers: (E-lockers, air-lockers, manual lockers) Can be locked or open at your leisure. Good for street driving. Really only used in offroading although i would love to have a selectable locker in my drift car. Automatic locker: (Lunchbox locker) Locker will decide on its own when to go from open to locked. These lockers use centrifugal force to slam a pin between the gears to force the tires to rotate together. They're sketchy but they're cheap. Only used in budget off-road builds. Fully locked diffs: (Full spool, mini spool, welded) Locked 100% of the time. They're annoying on the street because the wheels are forced to rotate together. Performing tight turns is awful and the car is extremely easy to kick sideways. Abysmal operation, horrible for street cars, 100% aggressiveness: Bad for track. Good for drifting. There are some other funny diffs but these are the basics. Read up before purchasing the diff for your car so that you can fully meet your expectations.

This has become one of my favorite car related channels. For years I was a hater, I have seen the light that the Ben's shine down upon us & I am grateful. Honestly though, awesome content all around.

I just did this to my Rx7 over the winter, Ford 8.8, 3.73 gears, Ronin Speedworks Kit, and Wavetrac LSD. I’m loving it, took me a bit longer than 5 days, but turned out great, and building the axles was my least favorite part. I’ve got a Mazda, LS3 (Chevy), and Ford. LOL

Loved the vibe of this video. Music was great. Thank you for giving us another amazing video

First of all Ben you did the burnout on a wet street and the other Ben actually dropped the clutch on the RX7 and snapped the rear diff on a dry street plus you rolled into your burnout totally different homie !

The attention to detail the guys at TRE perform is incredible

I know this is for entertainment purposes mostly, but I’d like to hear the technical talk about the pros and cons of clutch and gear type LSD. Maybe leave the conversation at the end of the video?

Watching him die grind AFTER installing the bearings made my feel physically I’ll. Like WTF dude 😮

I used a Nissan Frontier rear diff. It's been in the car for 5 yrs on a 370z. The only performance upgrade. It should have came out the box with this diff

i chuckled when the cat pounced on him, it's only fair he gets some of the attention

Big props on the cinematography and music selection! That was a very entertaining video.

Some questions to Aaron: -how does sharp corners make you feel? -how much joy do you get when seeing a rotary tool with a diamond or carbide bit? -is there anything that gives you more joy than the word chamfer?

If you run a friction modifier with a trutrac/torsen diff it will not lock up as much since you made it more slippery. It's recommended to run a petroleum (non synthetic)gear oil like a GL5 I have only been able to find a gl5 without a friction modifier at John Deere and Ford so far.. nice work in that diff build

@tristanjohnson8995

Жыл бұрын

I agree with this. The increased slipperyness reduces the TBR a bit. A Wavetrac or something similar with clutches for adjusting TBR would need it, but not your normal Torsen T2 / Eaton Truetrac. As for where to find gl5 without additive, Sta-Lube makes a few, and is usually available at NAPA. LiquiMoly makes one as well, I think.

A computer will never replace a skilled man like ur friends from Michigan and Wiscodisco.

The purpose of the PPF on the RX7 (Stock PPF that is) is that when the diff is under load it will want to twist upwards. So the long level arm of the PPF connected to the transmission helps reduce that diff hop. It also helps to isolate vibrations, since the vibrations are going through the diff mounts and engine mounts. Having the S2000 modified PPF that connects to the frame means you'll have more diff twist (shorter lever arm) and more vibration since it's a new vibration point. In an ideal world there would be a full PPF that could be used to connect the 8.8 rear end to the S2000 transmission to maximize stiffness and reduce new points of vibration. Sorry for the essay

Mazda rx7 with a k series engine, an s2k trans and a 07-10 ford explorer diff. You need a German part to finish it off 😂

Wish you would have let the diff guru give more explanation as to how the gears in the diff worked and it’s pros/cons

Great video y’all. I can’t remember the last time I saw such care put into a diff.

Interesting build on the explorer diff.

These dudes are truly amazing craftsmen. They make it look stock and im sure that it was last longer than any stock part!

Beautiful build montage as usual

Always impressed w the knowledge the guy at t.r.e. shares, a true master 🙏

Gotta respect a man who has a shop cat. Hell yeah!

Love the RX7, but can we also get more Honda Fit content?

I'll appreciate if Ben could post the full explanation of the diff

I still think that the FD is one of the most attractive cars ever made. If you ever decide to get it resprayed, I think the newest Soul Red Crystal color from Mazda is a great choice. It's deep, rich, and metallic and it lights up like it's on fire under bright sunlight while taking on cooler, more maroon and purple tones in the shade. I also found it amusing, but also reassuring that the first thing they did when receiving a brand new LSD from Eaton was to tear it apart and inspect it, all while looking not particularly impressed.

one of the greatest advantages of a helical style diff is they act like an open diff in the middle of the corner which gives great rotation characteristics. down side, if you left a wheel off the ground it will act like an open diff again

what an amazing build sequence during the casing strip down. amazing edit and camera work.

😆😆😆 at the slow motion when all you were hearing was " blah blah blah". Still laughing my ass off. Thanks

I'm excited too. I can't wait to see how it comes put.

I recall in a previous video you said unlike other KZreadrs you don’t take in as much revenue because you don’t do merchandise. I honestly don’t know why you don’t. Your hears and gasoline logo is prime for a shirt or jumper/hoodie. You’re both very creative and could make some really good designs and sell merch. I’m not saying turn in to a giveaway competition channel and be annoying like the others, but a few tshirts etc would make you decent additional revenue and actually be a design worth buying instead of something someone designed in MSPaint like some other channels merch.
