AustinTSI is an unknown quantity at this point
As for drifting/road-racing/auto-x; I'm not sure yet. I know, that makes it difficult.

I'm using an s13 due to the width of the suspension as I'm putting an entire s13 front and rear suspension into my Chrysler Conquest. The front suspension is so that I will also have rack and pinion steering and it is already all worked out. This will also give me many more options for parts, poly bushings, upgrades.

The rear is for similar reasons with more options for everything. Just try and find something for the Conquest/Starion. I already have a different motor and transmission. The transmission is a T56 so I already am going to have to have a custom driveshaft made due to the length. The s13 diff ratio of 4.08 is perfect for the T56 but my motor will be putting out 600hp and I may use nitrous on top of that so the s13 diff won't cut it.

I've considered the 300zx NA diff but it is only rated at 450hp.

I have been doing a lot of reading on this but most of the posts are written for someone that has relatively in-depth knowledge of these cars. From what I have read though that I could possibly do the following.

1. the q45 diff can be used in an s13
2. the q45 internals are based on the R230 but in a R200 case
3. I can take the ring and pinion out of the s13 and put it in the q45 and have the original 4.08 ratio

Are there any problems with this?
