Diff Upgrades For Ke Rolla's

[Felix]

so long as you have the jap diff housing.. yes

[Super Jamie]

yes, there are no differences in splines or carriers across japanese frontloader-style U series diff centers

 

the early ke1/2 ones have a different pinion flange, but you can just change the tailshaft end at the uni. if you're pulling the diff center apart, there are two or three different styles of pinion bearing

 

if you have an australian ke70 with a borg warner U or S series diff, identifiable by the bolt plate on the back, then you're out of luck

[styler]

well considered the locker (welded) but didnt choose it due to legality and driveline stress from everyday driving. lockers would be stronger than the original diff because the pinion gears and side gears are welded together as a unit which leaves only the input pinion and ring gear operating which is a strong setup.

then the axels start breaking lol.

[Ratty]

Hey Fook what diff set up are you running in your ke35 beast ?

[demuire]

RA23 diff, Cusco LSD, Bluebird TRX disc brakes.

[Ratty]

sweet that sounds like you have a good diff assembly and rear disks nice :D

ive been looking at a diff out of an M3 with disks and lsd but its $$$$$$$$$$$$$

[Super Jamie]

i generally would stay away from anything european, unless you have a severe need to waste money paying premium price for fairly ordinary parts

 

every m3 has also been irs, so it's hardly going to be a bolt in job. check the recent toyota irs conversion someone did to a celica on toymods, fook posted it on here somewhere

a day at a few different wreckers and not too much luck...

 

was looking for a ke25 sized diff, which is 1320mm mounting face to mounting face

 

corona mkII - too wide 14??mm

r31 skyline - too wide 14??mm

hiace - too wide 13??mm

L300 - too wide 14??mm

chrysler lancer - 1320mm!

120y - couldnt find one but is meant to be close 13????

commodore - too wide

datsuns - some possibilities, will check out a few soon

escort - 1340mm, little bit too wide

ke30 - 1370mm, too wide

ta22 - 1370mm, too wide

volvo - too wide

scorpion - too wide

hilux old - 1370mm, too wide

some vans - 1370, 1370+ too wide

 

so not too many cars that would have suitable width diffs :sad:

 

oh well looks like a shortening job then$$$

How about lite-ace or town-ace? 7" and think it takes hilux front axle lsd.

[rob1]

Tell me more!!!!

 

So a town ace diff..................convert it to leaf mount..............then wack in a hilux front lsd centre???????

 

Town ace diff shouldn't be hard to pick up nor dear
