Question about sbr vce

[bensbaby_1]

Hi.
I have a 93 awd turbo.
I have a question.
Im currently ripping apart my awd tranny.
im gonna send my center diff to jacktransmission to get it welded.
heres my question.

if i have a welded center diff....do i still need a sbr vce....to be able to take the transfer case off for fwd dyno days?

or if the center diff is welded....it locks the front to the back...and i can reuse my old vce...and will i still be able to take off the case for a fwd dyno?

pls help...

thanxs!!!!

If the diff is welded you won't need the vce.

50 - 50

but i have a 90 stroker with 500hp and 465 tq. 25lbs.

im putting the motor and all the mods on my 93 awd car.

do i put the stock vc back in even if the center diff is welded?

I don't think you have to but I'm not positive.

You either have to have the stock or a VCE. You can't run without one. It is what holds the output shaft for the transfer case. You should be able to run with the stock VC and a welded diff for the dyno.

+1.... No more Burger King drive-thru with a VCE........

FWIW, TRE sells the same VCE for $60. I forget SBR's price off the top of my head but I think it was $135 last I checked.

there are pluses and minuses before i run 11s.
thanxs for the input!

You need to consider that either set up will put a lot of extra stress on the transfer case and shaft regardless of how you are driving it. We broke the slip yolk U-Joint because of a welded center diff. If that happens the front part of the drive shaft falls down in the direction of travel, not a pretty sight.
