Good point...
I suppose for the sort of people who bleed off the wastegate feed to up the boost, fit some neon lights, large rear wing and a shiny gearnob, then a viscous is certainly about as complicated as they want it to be.
But I have also seen a LOT of guys on here building 250-350bhp cars... and those guys would probably want something more serious than a shopping hack viscous diff.
I know the gpN cossies we ran in the WRC had viscous diffs, but they weren't much good either, my Integrale had a viscous centre diff and torsen rear, which made things interesting.... think terminal understeer until she came on boost and then a minimum 4 degree tail out... always kept me awake..
On my 6R4 we have plate diffs front and rear and a viscous centre.... the front is 4FF each side and rear is a 6FF each side and real tight at that... also drove McRaes subaru legacy (oooh about a thousand years ago) and he ran a solid rear diff, viscous centre, and the same 6FF spec as on my 6R4 at the front ! Needless to say, if you weren't committed, it did not want to go around corners.....
Looking forward to trying the welded diff on the s12, although mini roundabouts will be a pain..
Conkers.
