This is what the driveline manage if you drive nice, no burnouts, jumpy starts, wheelspin on gravel and then continuing out onto asfalt. And so on...
You could damage the driveline with 100hk if you act foolish
My driveline has taken ALOT of beating! and still works just fine as ever. Ive done all the bad things, and even with tires with alot of grip.
I thinck it depends alot on how fresh the sorrundings are, like the gearbox and engine bushes
n\a for the win

yup, I'll testify to them taking a beating too... though I don't want to jinx it... I've hurled some serious abuse at the drivetrain and thus far its taken it really well, though that doesn't mean that it won't grenade next time its driven in anger

It's all about traction. Put on some Mickey Thompsons and drive some full gas starts at the strip with same power numbers as Peter has in his engine you'll be breaking half shafts with 1031 and 1030 axles in 200-series also.

For example, a 16v Turbo will typically be 'safer' than an 8v, as it will usually make the same power with less torque (making peak power at higher RPM). I think that's why a certain white 16vT on this forum is holding up ok at over 300bhp.
Those numbers look pretty good for a 8v turbo. Perhaps we need to use Hyabusa Turbo engines instead
We use MS too, FREJ
Cool system...
cheers

Very true, but I think if we put Nm to place of HP those numbers are not too far off either
Can't we just say driveline is not turbo compatible in it's stock form?

True on the torque figures
I think a B230 8v up to about 250bhp is safe enough. Beyond that...Corvette C5 transaxle?
