interest in a carbon fiber drive shaft?
the Drive Shaft Shop in North Carolina and I were asking "what if".
For my '79 300SD Turbo Diesel, a carbon fiber drive shaft would cost approximately $1,500. Stronger, lighter, proven to 2,800 horsepower. If there was a group buy ... |

I wonder if the URO flex discs will support a 2800 HP OM617

The driveshaft on a 116 300SD is listed in EPC a couple of ways: The entire drive shaft with ends and center is A116 410 72 06 independent of year. According to EPC the drive shaft for a 300SD is unique to that car. For a 6.9 the part number is A116 410 69 06, that that would be for a LWB car. According to EPC the driveshaft for a 6.9 is unique to that car. Which makes me wonder what is different about all SWB cars vs. all LWB cars... 450 SE : 58 06 450 SEL: 59 06 280 S: 57 06 280 SEL: 68 06 or 67 06 350 SEL: 11 06 or 12 06 So what is different? Looking at the separate components... Back to the SD Front drive shaft is 116 410 41 04 - unique to the SD Rear drive shaft is 116 410 04 07 - also unique to the SD And for a 450 SE Front: 29 04 - unique to 116.020 and 116.024 Rear: 82 02, replaced by 81 02, replaced by 97 02 - which is common to 032, 033, 036 as well as 107.024 so the possibilities are endless. My question would be is the carbon fiber drives shaft a single piece or is it a two piece drive shaft? And is it strictly based on length and end fittings, or are their other concerns... I think there would be a market for such a part, and that the market would be far greater in the W113 cars as opposed to W116 cars... |

I'm pushing over 3,000 HP with my engine after fluting the turnbuckles and porting the shenanigizer, so I'm out on this buy.

I'm wondering why the HP is a relevant issue. Isn't it more an issue of the torque placed on the drive shaft?

my main interest is the weight saving, relative bullet-proof nature of CF and that the manufacturer is highly respected.
i used to own a 2006 Subaru STi and one of the most recommended upgrades was a CF drive-shaft ... lose weight, gain a little mpg if i won the lottery, after paying the mortgage and setting up college funds for the kids ... ;-) this would be an immediate upgrade. |
