Title: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on January 31, 2020, 01:15:18 AM Peep's
If a reliant axle was to get re tubed (thicker and better) and new half shafts (custom jobbies from a professional) what would the diff be able to handle? 150bhp, 200bhp or more and do I need to see the doc for a few pill's!! reason is ready for the next project and have a few said axles lying about and don't want them to go to waste. cheers Gary Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: minimutly on January 31, 2020, 03:11:27 PM The later thick shafts will take whatever you throw at them I think. You're right about the tubes though.
As for the diff, a decent 900 should be fine, but it does depend how hard you ride it? Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on February 01, 2020, 08:05:58 AM Sorry what do you mean by a decent 900?
Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: minimutly on February 01, 2020, 10:20:47 AM Ha, good question, meant 900cc bike engine. But what's decent? Maybe the old 8 valvers had as much torque as a later multivalve - i don't know but I suspect not. Whatever, a 900 will be pushing out around 80bhp or so?
Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on February 01, 2020, 09:20:45 PM ah it was obvious but I was a bit slow, coming off nights.
I am thinking more 230-300bhp!! Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: minimutly on February 02, 2020, 12:05:53 AM Save the reliant for something that won't kill it. You need a bmw,jag,ford axle.
Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on February 02, 2020, 08:27:34 AM Yes I had thought of Ford but wanting a reliant style axel but need a diff closer to 2.86 and cant find ratios close to that apart from the reliant hence the question
Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on February 02, 2020, 09:05:23 AM Sorry guy's
I have just noticed you can get a 3.09 ration so assume that will do for what I am after. Triumph Rocket with super charger and Ford axle!! Ok so will sell off all the stuff I have collected to convert a Vmax - all well Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: BikerGran on February 03, 2020, 10:37:10 PM Are you planning a drag trike?
Title: Re: Max power for a reliant axle Post by: Donut on February 10, 2020, 06:09:17 PM No not really just wanting something a bit torquey!!
