My clubman still has its original diff in it, and I was wondering if anyone knows what the power limit of the Torsein is

If anyone would know i guess it would be mania, im sure daniel has seen his fare share broken one's and hence would know what kind of limit they would handle.
You probably thought of that though and are hopeing that someone would provide a quicker answer on here?
Perhaps this diff/rubber will curtail and handle the power your beasty is putting out.

210rwkw may have not been the breaking point.

i concur with blackster........more like the stress of multiple hard launches has weakened it beforehand

I personally would have thought that the power limit would have been just before the diff broke.....
sorry.....

I think luck and age are just as important.
My car broke a 1.8 diff woth around 100rwkw, but then the one that was in it when I sold it had lasted quite some time woth a little bit of abuse at the drags.
Steve gosbee has been making around 240rwkw in his without issue too.

Ive spoken to the guys at mania, and when given a sudden hit with power (eg drag racing, burnouts, clutch kicking), the torsens aren't that great....

Sean , Steve isn't running a mx diff , I last heard it had a S3 Rx7 in it could be wrong though all here say

I believe this is a standard NA diff, running behind a B6 engine with 19psi boost..
Looks like sometimes the diff is much stronger than the whole assembly that supports it.
