Open it up.. Try a search, but from memory, the Torsen Type 1 Has an open style spool, where you can see the worm gears.. The Type 2 Looks like its locked down in an Assylum.. Very enclosed, unable to view the worm gears or anything..

SOrry its the best i can explain it at the moment,lol.. Will try and find some pics for you!

I had a search for it but to no avail... so i thought better ask.

Also just reading up on a few things. Went over a few threads that were saying that is was bad to have shift kit plus torsen.

Would really need the torsen to keep up with the power, but would love for it to shift quicker.

Can anyone shed some light on this?

Well i will 100% get a torsen cause i know the open diff will not last to long.

Would it be better with or without a shift kit?
Is torsen plus shift kit wise or death?

You will be ok with a Torsen and Shift Kit...

Daniel Clarke has a torsen and Shift Kit and ive lost count at the ammount of times he has been down the 1/4mile with that setup.

So by all means mate go the Shift Kit and Torsen...You will need both. Not having a Shift Kit will wreck your gearbox quicker. Not having a Torsen will wreck your Open Wheeler Diff. (With the ammount of power you will eventually have)

the 1.5 shift kit is not as harsh as the stage 2(no longer made). the stage 2 destroyed my torsen, but it took about 4-5 years to do it, and i race with sticky tires. Daniel has a stage 1 shift kit. Oh, Daniel, i raced last weekend and my 60 footers improved from a pb of 1.82 to 1.73,1.72,1.72,1.71 but a top end miss(coil cracked maybe?) meant that my ET only improved to 12.41 sec.

Awsome stuff Blake :-) I normally run flat 1.7's and dip into the 1.6's occasionally... Normally 1.70-1.71-1.68.

COil pack, spark plug? Lean out?

Yeah i am eager to see what i can get also.

Will try and get pics but not to sure on that, as i will probably have to get Bill to put them on for me. ( i'll still get as many as i can)

I don't really have the time or quality tools to do it myself. Plus will need new lines made up at the same time.

Well today is the day my car starts its make over.
Dropped it off to Bill this morning and will pick it up end of the week.

And i wont be able to get any photos of the install as my camera is dead.

Now we play the waiting game....

Yeah i will be, but i don't think it will be straight after as i just don't have time to get there during the week, just to busy at work.

Unless they are open weekends, then i could get it done as soon as this weekend.

I was going to use this weekend to swap over my open diff with lsd, but will see what plans out.(that will be fun)

DO you have a complete Diff to swap over? If so that shouldnt take more than about 1.5 hours with the right tools :-)

You will need 10mm Hex(socket preffered) for the driveshaft bolts, and 12mm Hex(socket again) for the rear diff bolts that hold it in the cradle:-) I bought some 1/2 inch drive sockets. the 10mm is easier if you get a longer one, but the 12mm can be a shorter type. Makes the job so much easier as you can crack them and torque them back up properly:-)

I have the complete housing to swap, just waiting for it to arrive. I didn't think it would have been to hard to do, maybe a bit of a challenge when no hoist to use though.

Nah ground is pretty easy mate :-) took me 35 mins to get mine out and only about 30 to get it all back together :-) By myself too, that was a tad hard!

Hmm looks like it may take a little while to get it tuned. Hitech are moving to a different location and are flat out next 3 weeks.

And went to another dyno tuning place and they didn't know what an Emanage was......

But in reality i can't get it there anyway until after easter weekend, so i will still be going to Hitech. Been there few times with friends cars and the owner John knew what he was doing.
