Diff 3.64 vs. 4.10

[alexk]

This info is from Manos. He lives in Crete in Greece and has an M3 that is fully changed to CSL specs (all carbon bits etc).
I think he is member also here but doesn't post. He tracks the CSL so he is a capable driver.
I would like to thank him for the info.

The tests are in the same place, same temperature and weather.
With red is diff 3.64 and blue 4.10.
With the 4.10, the car also has SS race cats, and SS lightweight race backbox.

0-100 km/h 1.3 sec difference (3.64 faster)


The car is spinning a lot with the 4.10

0-160 km/h 0.7 sec difference (3.64 faster)
With the 3.64 you have 2 gear shifts and with the 4.10 3 gear shifts.




0-200 km/h 2 secs difference (3.64 faster)



100-200km/h 1.4 secs difference (3.64 faster)




80-110 km/h only here 4.10 is faster




0-400 m 0.5 secs difference (3.64 faster)

Redo the graphs to eliminate wheelspin...

From a standstill the 4.1 version hardly moves for a while, then look at the 1-2 gearchange and how long there is no acceleration, wheelspin again.

Maybe the ss cats caused a slight loss in power????

I wouldn't be surprised.

Too much wheel spin, for a realistic test. He needs to learn how to drive, or get better tyres. :whistle:

He is running cups and he definitely knows how to drive.
If the road does not have 'dragster strip glue', that's another story.

Hi,

These Graphs do not show the engine 'Rev' Drop
on each gear change.

They are just acceleration Graphs.

Once you factor in the Rev drop for each
gear change, and the fact that a 4.1 diff will
be using more engine revs for the same car speed
as a 3.64 in the same gear, then unless you can hit
8250 rpm in every gear, and only incur a rev drop
on each gear change of say 1750 rpm, which
would keep the S54 at around 6500rpm so right up on the std Cams,
then a 4.1 diff will give slightly better acceleration upto a
given point.

Higher lift Cams would push the window a little higher with
the Rev drop in each gear becoming even more critical.

I would guess that on just straight line acceleration,
at around 115 / 120 mph then
things would start to even out and from there on up
the 3.64 may start to have a slight edge.

Go onto most Tracks though and the 4.1 car will be quicker than
the 3.64.

Regards,

The Gorilla.

So .. Shimmy.. you leaving yours in .. or taking it out?... or was it really in at all ?? :hahaha:

So you think wheelspinning off the line for half a second is a fair test, whilst the comparison graph he has zero wheelspin. :whistle:

Take it with a pinch of salt mate, Alex is just trying to post some information up for god sake, we can't all be as technically sound as you are in your tests, ala the 'remap' thread, lining up next to your mate before and after mapping, no variables there is there! :whistle: :bigcry:

Snipping at people might be acceptable on Cutters but for genuine CSL owners we like to get on thanks! :thumbs:

Not sure what are you trying to prove here.
Lawsy wanted to have some figures about differentials.
Believe me I didn't post this info for you. :birdman:
If you don't like the results, you don't like the driver (that you don't know), you don't like the forum, you don't have to post these things.

Have a look at the quality of Gorilla's posts... and get examples.

PS : I don't know you but you could be YAWBCO (YetAnotherWannaBeCSLOwner), no offense meant...

Blimey - it's getting more like M-Torque on here! :banghead:

Can we all be nice to each other now please... :smt008

Thats pretty much what i said. Completely agree with you. There is better graphs that show better comparison between the 2 diffs. I will post them up, as soon as the site has come back up this afternoon/evening.

It is also a lot more accurate tests. The guy also shows distance covered, which is very important.

Believe me I didn't post this info for you. :birdman:

You posted on a public forum.

If you don't like the results, you don't like the driver (that you don't know), you don't like the forum, you don't have to post these things.

I didnt say i didnt like it, I was just pointing out the mistakes in the graph, caused by the drivers driving. The 4.10 diff has its benefits, but not by the graph you posted up.

I just dont want members to get the wrong idea, that the 4.10 diff is useless.

WTF are you 12 or something?

You should read back, I didnt snip at anyone. His the one that started bashing my head with a hammer :hahaha:

Rolling road and Dyno butts have variables, like whether you've taken a dump that day to barometric pressure. Lining up next to each other and having runs is the only way to test whether a power modification has worked.

agree, in part :whistle:
(notice Baris and i have put a :whistle: in which normally means 'tongue in cheek')

no comments are 'necessary' alex, just some can spark some discussion - alternative poins of view do exist and not all facts are truely facts

Go onto most Tracks though and the 4.1 car will be quicker than
the 3.64.

.

im not sold on the 4.10 diff yet, too little use and too different circumstances so far

So .. Shimmy.. you leaving yours in .. or taking it out?... or was it really in at all ?? :hahaha:

:thumbs:KUNT

just to be clear it is in and staying at least until it breaks :smokin:

agree the graph is a bit loaded with the wheelspin, i like this comparison post tbh

Thats the one I was trying to post up, but the sites going slow for me today.
Didnt you post up faster lap times at snett with the 4.10 diff? Or was that with the 3.64 still?

It all kinda depends on what track you're on. 4.10 might be better on some tracks, whilst 3.91 and 3.64 might be better on others.
