Rear diff, what oil-temp and hose sizes..

[lind4hl]

as you know i am currently putting an v8 diff on my rs.

anw while i am doing it i thought i could put some cooling on it ( electrical oil pump and cooler)

i am thinking of putting the hoses like this:



what do you people think about this??


and an8 11,11mm innerdiameter hoses to this


what temp should the oil in an Torsen be?

Maybe a question for Opieoils, soz...

do´h! good point

Dont think the oil temps are the issue, the diff just isnt strong enough, wont matter what oil you use, it will break.

since i am building an track-car it is no drag-race starts, but 30+ laps on an track, there you will have some heat i think..

[audiman]

I guess if its only track use then you should be ok, yeah it may get hot on track over that distance. I would use same oil as stock diff, hose positions look ok, i would try and mount the lower hose a little bit higher incase of clearance issues with the floor!

-8 hose will be fine btw

[lind4hl]

maybe use the lower hose from the bolt to the left, little higher there..
