BoxsterLS376 introduction - LS3 conversion :)

Hello John,

i don't think the HP is the main problem for the rear axles. It's more the torque. 500 Nm is equivalent to approx. 370 ft.lb.

John it's more the angle of the axles causing the problem. What does Renagade use to prevent the problem?

Haha well I'm way past that already so another solution is indeed necessary!

No I don't think it's the angle, it is not much steeper then stock.

Renegade didn't have any solutions other then changing them out every 3000 miles at the time. I have decided not to waste any more of my time talking with them. They were moderately useful during the project and that's about it. Lots of run around and vague answers.

The problem is the components are not strong enough to support the power the car is making under race conditions. Mind you these axles were OK for the last 3000 miles under relatively normal street use. I think the multiple hard first gear launches and even harder shifts into second just killed it.

I am talking with another company and see if they can come up with a solution, otherwise i'll just keep using cheap axles and won't drag launch it in first gear!

Thanks
