December 9, 200520 yr How much torque can EA82 halfshafts take before they break unreasonably often? I'm doing an EJ22 swap over the winter, so that will put more stress on them. The car has 30" mud tires on it, so the tires will put up a fight before they break loose. I'm considering putting a supercharger on the EJ22 once it is broken in, but will that be too much power? Is there such a thing? I have to replace halfshafts fairly often now, but will it be a monthly afair with that much power? Probably round 150 Wheel horse.
December 10, 200520 yr How close to stock is the angle of your shafts? If it's close or bang on, lots. I've been really abusive with oversize tires (not the 29's) and lots of power. I think you're only going to have about 50 lb/ft of torque more than a stock spfi motor of idle up to about 2500rpm.
December 10, 200520 yr Author WJM is putting out round 110 ft/lb at 2.5k rpm, 130ish at 3k. at the wheel. Thats out of a modded EA82T. A modded EJ22 will be putting out a bit more than that. How much I don't know. I guess I'll have to try and see. :-\
