What sort of power will an English axle with standard drive half shafts take in a light car like a stylus? I’m saving my pennies for a Quaife diff but half shafts are a lot more money so does anyone have any recommendations for cheaper upgrades if needed?

Re: English axle
I'm pretty sure you can run just over 200 brake through the standard setup, someone else will be along to confirm or denigh.Bikenuts wrote:What sort of power will an English axle with standard drive half shafts take in a light car like a stylus?

English ?
I've run a standard English with ATB for a few years without drama shuving 200bhp through and Tim SSC too but with 225bhp. The key factor is TORQUE though. Mine's about 168 ft/lbs , Tim's could be around 180ft/lbs . Any higher and you'd be thinking of some Quaife shafts at £105 a peice . Alternatively a BABY Atlas but they're bloody heavy . I'm planning to have 250bhp at some point so we'll see what happens , that will mean about 190ft/lbs.
