Hi, if this has been covered I did do a brief search but didn't know what keywords would work best and came up empty handed.
I am planning on building a 2.7i this summer with the possibility of forced induction in the semi near future (over the fall/winter). The motor will not be permanent and will be my fathers if/when I have the money and time to swap an s54.
I think with that setup I should be looking at about 220-250 horsepower (afterforced induction and hopefully at the wheels) fairly safely, which should move this car very well. Anyway I was underneath the car last night spraying the undercarriage with oil (corrosion prevention) and I thought that the axles look very feeble in this car.
So my question to the forum is where I can find stronger axles for this car? Also subframe and control arm re-enforcement seems like it may be a good idea to start looking at.
In this thread I figured would be a good idea to compile what we know of the rear end of the car (mechanically) and possibly tow/sticky this thread in another forum if there is enough knowledge in this thread to justify it. ALL information on the subject is welcome :).
