Ke-30 Diff Change

[Zoidburg]

Hi everyone,

 

My KE-30 2 door is currently running a 5K and 5 speed, and a 4.1 diff (according to the book). I was wondering if there's another diff or complete setup with disc brakes that will easily fit and preferably have the same stud pattern? I'd like a higher ratio diff than what's in there, so it revs less.

 

Thanks :)

you mean lower revs so it doesnt rev more.

 

4ac ae71 manuals have a 3:79:1 diff ratio so you can swap the centres but not the whole diff cause its got coils etc etc

Okay, that should make a massive difference!

 

Guess now I need to track one of these down and take the centres out.

 

Thanks

Are you sure? I'd imagine a 2 door KE30 has a jap diff. Check whether you have lots of bolts on the front of the diff, or the back. It's a big difference.

 

The AE71 is bound to be a Borg Warner (bolts on the back).

 

I'd actually check what ratio you do have. From memory quite a few KE30's come with 4.3's. Then you'll know what you have to look for.
