Hey guys, ive tried but perhaps my googling/search function skills arent up to scratch.
Is it possible to put a torsen T1 centre insert into an NB8A standard housing (all standard nb shafts etc)? it just seems common for people to go the torsen T2 option all the time, but the notion of better grip under acceleration which seems to be the case with a t1 appeals more to me.
but yes, the above question stands, so please do tell

Re: T1 into an NB
Answered in one.
T1 and T2 are basically the same in function though, the TBR is slightly different (3.5 vs 3.6??)
But overall, 2/3 of ƒü¢k all difference in performance.
I'd just go T2 (well, I did go T2)

Re: T1 into an NB
thanks for the clarification guys.
in terms of performance im almost up to speed now as everything I had read went through that, just didnt specify if it was all good in terms of stub axles, tail shaft etc in standard nb8a housing. however any info is always appreciated
cheers, Giuls
