- Paul McWhiskey replied to the thread Friction Mod in T2 Torsen.Flyhalf is right about higher viscosity gear oils not carrying heat away from the gear faces as well as a lower viscosity gear oil. The lower viscosity will flow better creating better heat transfer away from the gear faces. However, if the load... (see full post)
flyhalf replied to the thread Friction Mod in T2 Torsen.Another notes on the thicker oil, is that a thicker oil yes sustained better higher temperature, but on the other hand being thicker will create more Heat. Also following the thinking of going thicker that modifies slightly the function of the... (see full post)
Thanks for the recommendation for a good read. I have started reading that thread.-
Just to put this into context.... Since Chinese made tires arrive here pretty much tariff free. It costs me about US$1250 for a set of P1's in 315/30-18. vs a US$ 2800 for set of R7's. Would perfer the Hoosiers any day. But then again, I would...

Feel free to read through my build thread for what I'm doing with the car.My tracks are around 3 km per lap so 130 laps = 390 km or 242 miles of track driving. Since I run 19x11 wheels I need maximum camber upfront to be able to tuck the wheel...

Bedouin reacted to Bill Pemberton's post in the thread Member Introductions - Introduce Yourself with
