Can anyone tell me how much power a 325 lsd can take?I am going to be running a 400 bhp cosworth engine and if i get overtaken will have 100 bhp nitrous.I am not going to buy a expensive diff but will weld one up if the 325 one is not up for the job .Also i am running a t5 cosworth gearbox so is this the right gear ratio or should i change it?

how do you mean gear ratio??????
gear ratio for what? all depends on what your wanting to do really.
i would of thought the 325 diff will survive on doing what you describe, but doing stuff like spotting it up all the time, double clutching, and quick shifting will tear it apart i would of thought...
if your spending all that money, i hope ur after a single piece prop

You are better off fabing some mounts and prop then using a cossie diff.

my 3.91 ratio LSD has taken some amount of abuse from me this year and is still going strong with no noises although im a good bit less than your power figures.i dont think itll last long puting that much power through it

Diff ratio on the majority of 325 diffs is 1:3.6 as is a standard 2wd diff so gearing will be similar to a cossie.
How do you plan on putting all this power down out of interest???

what i was trying to say was with the t5 and 325 diff with this combo and this much power would it just wheel spin or should i get a different size diff so i can get the power down better for1-4 mile,drifting.Is a one piece prop worth while i have heard of some cossies with it.

I've never seen a one piece prop on a cossie and don't see a need for one. I have had numerous Cosworth up to 518hp btw inc a 400+ hp Gartrac Escort.e30cossie wrote:what i was trying to say was with the t5 and 325 diff with this combo and this much power would it just wheel spin or should i get a different size diff so i can get the power down better for1-4 mile,drifting.Is a one piece prop worth while i have heard of some cossies with it.
Getting the power down will be down to rear tyres and camber more than anything else.
