An R200 will take 500 rwhp. It probably won't take a huge engine and grabby clutch dumping on slicks. There's a big difference there.

Well i beg to differ, I broke the orginal rear end in my S14.. the car had less than 80k miles at the time. and i broke it on the street on street tires (275's) shifting into 3rd gear.. i was beating on it, and i was making around 450whp..
The 2nd one had a few drag passes on it they were 4.36 gears.. and the teeth were cracking at the root..
To the OP i made a thread about installing the R230 into an S14 with good pictures.. there is no kit to aid installation.
I should have just put a Ford 8.8 IRS rear end in it.. thats what i would do if i were you.. Or take your chances with a skyline GTR rear end, there much stronger, only reason i went with an R230 is for the bigger outputs.. the skyline rear end has 30 spline outputs the R230 has 31..
