T Series Diff Into Ke25

[parrot]

I will be putting a 4AGE in my KE25 and plan to put a T series rear in it for various reasons (I have a shed load of AE86 stuff, centres, rear discs etc) plus PCD for wheels

 

I am thinking TA23, RA23 rather than TA22 due to axle strength /bearing size.

 

Has anyone else on here done this and has the extra width been problematic?

 

The car will have flares eventually but would be nice not to have to modify guards or shorten the differential. Have searched high and low and not found anything specific. I don't wish to go Nissan or any other manufacturer. I realise I need to take of the spring seats etc.

 

TA23/RA23 is I believe 1365mm drum to drum, and I am getting varying figures for an KE25. Unfortunately my car is very awkwardly placed to measure. does anyone have a diff out of a car that can be easily measured?

i have a ke55 diff in my ke25, to fit 13x6's i had to lip the rear gaurds. not sure what width ke55 diffs are unfortunately.

ke25 is 1320mm drum mounting face to drum mounting face.

Hmm thinking of putting a RA23 or TA22 diff into my KE30 so I'll be keen to hear how you go, as far as I know the main thing is getting the leaf spring mounts welded on properly and hoping it has swaybar mounts for added advantages.

Hmm thanks guys. 45mm might be manageable.

 

I might keep a look out for a rear end then.

 

Will be a while before I get to do it as I need to relocate my AE86 first so I can work on the KE25......

just for reference ke55 is 1355mm drum mounting face to drum mounting face , i think.

I have an RA 23 t series in my car, 14X6 wheels which are I think 12 or 15mm poitive offset. (stick out wider than most mags).

 

With the TE27 flares, it has 10mm clearance on eather side- just perfect. Of course I had to cut the guards. Can check out my thread for pics.
