Depends how your weld is, if you didnt get some good penetration it'll break. But I guess that if others have made it work then you should.

Was it with a MIG? And how much heat did you put into it.. What power rating was the welder? If you used my little 100Amp Welder it would be the same as if you used epoxy :P

If it holds I say your Tranny, its so weak.

BooM! hehe

The only way an axle will snap is if you get traction, in my FJ20T ute it had a stock and locked diff which had no problems till i ran at eastern creek where its a lot sticker than the street and it snap on a 6000rpm launch.
My mates own a CA18DET which makes bout 220hp at the wheels and has been running the same locked ute diff for 3 years now just because the car never has any traction to snap anything.

your diff want go its welded the only thing that will happens to that is you my snap you welds depending on how you locked my has plates and all in there .
Cheers Luke

i very much doubt that it will be the diff that goes first being a H190, i ran a H165 locked in a bluebird and it lasted bout 9months before snapping an axle.
my money is on the box going first, youll pull second gear out if you change hard enough
good luck to you and i hope you all the fun in the world with your locker

Axle

Dattodude is on the money. When my CA18DET ute was first running a welded 1200 diff, the axle lasted two weeks before snapping at the diff centre. As mentioned its a scary feeling when they let go as the car drifts all over the road.

From personal experience, I was a hoon years ago too, I reckon it will be 2nd gear that will break first too. I remember killing 2 gearboxes in 1 day after some serious tarmac circlework one Christmas.

i have a feeling it may be the clutch or fly wheel again, that gear box has taken a beating and still continues to go......
eiter that or the seal on the carby box when it finally gets a full dose of boost
