A stock 240sx R200 with or without an aftermarket diff wont take 650+whp easily..

Ive broken 2 with 500whp and less torque than a V10 will put out..

Ive destroyed the pinion on the first one.. like missing teeth etc. and the 2nd was going to break but i caught it before it did.. the teeth on the pinion were showing cracks at the root of the tooth

I have since installed an R230 into my S14 along with bigger axles and hubs

A lot of it depends on if you're launching on slicks or something.

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..
