Max Horespower for stock axles?????
I have a 98 GS automatic and am planning on a engine and tranny swap. However if I am going to do this I am going to do it right and build up the internals eg. Racing heads, port and polish engine and turbo, a Lsd and so on. I am looking to spend about 10k(For it to be done right instead of cutting corners), So hopefully I will be looking at somewhere between 400 and 500 Whp, but can my stock axle handle that or will I have to get a stonger one??????

Re: Max Horespower for stock axles?????
You should get new axles man. They are not super expensive and if you are planning to get up to 400-500 then you can probably spend the extra to get the axles, it really isnt that much comparitively.

Re: Max Horespower for stock axles?????
Deffinately new axles. Go to this site:
http://www.driveshaftshop.com/item135637.ctlg E-mail them... they also offer an axle that's good for up to 750hp. The stock one will snap for sure after a couple runs As for the LSD: http://www.quaifeamerica.com/differentials/diffs.htm http://www.quaifeamerica.com/differe.../diff_apps.htm That is the best for our cars, in my oppinion. As for getting 500hp... Good luck! Let me know what you use if you get that! You'll need a HUGE turbo and deffinately some cams (which I didn't see in your mods to the head)... Crower Stage II is what I'm looking at right now. I started a thread a while back about what's needed to support 500+ hp in a 420A equipped Eclipse... Check that out. Hope this helps. Feel free to mail me. L8er! :  :
