s14 rear end question

[Kohne]

New to the 240 world and bought an s14, planning on a doing a 383 stroker swap into it, was wondering what rear end troubles I would run into (if any)..

The Nissan R200 rear ends are pretty tough, I doubt it would be an issue. If you wanted to be super safe yout could upgrade to the R230 rear end out of the 300zx TT or the GTR's, but you would have to swap axles and hubs as well.

Thanks bro.

To add to racepar1, the axles will be the weakest link in your setup. They are stout, but if you have worn out subframe/control arm bushings you can and most likely will induce wheel hop and cause them to pop. Just preload the suspension if you plan on some hard launches.

So basically just freshen it all up and it'll be fine and handle pretty solid hp and torque?

Yes, but they do have a limit which is way before the diff itself.

I had a friend putting down about 800RWHP through an RB26DETT with a 350shot of N2O launching on a T-brake with slicks, the car went 8's.

he was using an OEM S15 differential, with some beefed up axles / subframe.

In the chevy world, the fail 10-bolt differential gives all diffs everywhere a bad name. I remember one breaking behind a bone stock LS-1 on drag radials launching with a 150 shot after just a few passes.
