Eclipse / Talon AWD 650HP Aluminum Driveshaft
These are our aluminum drive shafts for the Eclipse and Talon platform cars. This shaft is designed to replace the first 2 shafts of the system. These shafts are made of 6061-T6 aluminum and 3″ in diameter it also has a custom 7075-T6 aluminum plate to convert the c.v. back to a u-joint style end, the factory front 2 piece is 22lbs and our single is only 12lbs !!!! The aluminum shaft is more torsional than the shorter steel shaft and will help save the rest of the drive train from the harmful shock factor of launching the vehicle at the track. We were going to try to make a single shaft but due to Critical speed problems it would need to be 4″ in diameter (will not fit under car) to start and there was another problem. “The operating angles under the car”. The front angle was 2 degrees and the back was 7 degrees (not good) the problem is the rear joint would move more than 2 times as much as the front and cause a very nasty vibration. The AE-7 manual of Automotive engineers don’t recommend any drive shaft to have more than a 1 degree difference from one operating angle to the other (this would be a 5 degree spread) Some of the carbon fiber shaft company makes this shaft but the angle problem still remains and in our opinion will cause the fiber to tear over time and fail. This shaft comes complete with a conversion plate for the C.V. end and all hardware to make this a job that can be done in the garage. This shaft is rated for 650HP.
