all torsendiff

[ralleyquattro]

No idea, there are two different types of v8 torsens, there are single piece and multi piece ones, single piece ones are stronger.

This thread has some info

Wow, never noticed that.. I guess here is what they are talking about:

Once piece diff:



Multipiece diff:



Cool.. need to check my stock to see which ones I have..

[quattro-nick]

i think the one piece v8 torsen(diff code axz) comes from a 3.6 v8 with manuel gearbox and a two piece v8 torsen(diff code afv) comes from a 3.6 automatic gearbox
i ordered my new seals by a local audi dealer and I had to wait 2 weeks before i got them
the big v8 seal or hard to find and kost by the dealer 52 euro

Thats handy to know quattro nick. Does anyone run torsen front & rear have any input in handing? On paper they should be awesome

The problem with the torsen diff in front is that...during acceleration into a bend, the car will want to go straight. I had torsen in my 016 box with FWD and was ok on straight line..but dont accelerate hard on bends.
All the best!

Eugen, maybe it was FWD situation. On 4WD with torsen rear and front in during acceleration into a bend the car wants to turn even more. When I put the front in my front finally stooped to be understrear and car started to be more neutral.

I am very satisfied with the handling of the car now.

It still needs machined down for the smaller gearbox bearing.

Indeed Albert! I was in FWD situation. I never tried this in Quattro.
Is good to know!
Thank You!

What are the torsen diffs like strength wise in the front. I know they have been known to break easily in the rear?

I use'd mine with 276hp chips from MRC for 40k km approx. No problem with the diff or gearbox. I drove hard but not as Albert proper racing though...

I still looking for .....E or .....F center differential to get more on back wheels. They seem to be hiding somewhere or you need to buy whole gearbox.

After few years I might be able to tell you how they work (If none of the wheels are willing to turn anymore)

Loads of hot hatches use torsen different up front to good effect.

did you also try it on normal roads or only on the track? how is it in tighter bends?

[Albert]

It was tested on tight corners around me garage. No problem on maximum wheel turn when maneuvering around parking lot. Also on hi speed tight bent at ~60km/h the car was handling very good. Did not notice any handing problems.

edit: this is the slowest corner: http://youtu.be/g0_vgJc9ZDU?t=40s - 0:48. Braking from 190km/h to 60
