Hi guys...

Before I ripped my tranny to bits and find out for myself...

What type is the centre diff on an STI IV - 4 door ?

If its a VC type, what is its rating ? (kg will do)

Anyone know what sort of power it can handle ?

Cheers,

J.

Hi J,

The Sti 4 is fitted with a VC centre diff, which I am pretty sure is 12Kg (The UK cars are).

Not sure how much power it's good for. Sorry.

Would the aftermarket STI heavy duty centre VC unit suffice for your car?

It may be worth asking Quaife if they have considered adapting an ATB for the centre diff... I know they do produce entire 4wd transmissions with 3 ATBs for other applications, maybe this centre unit could be adapted to keep you on the road?

I have a few choices...

Either mechanical centre diff...

a 20Kg VC uprated diff

The mech one is about twice the price of the VC one (twice the price of quaife ATB too)
