MX83 lsd diff ratio options??

[amichie]

I'd like to know what is the easiest way to change my diff ratio from 3.9 to 4.1 or 4.3.

I have read that supra internals can be installed in my housing. What about just changing the ring and pinion gears. Can I just buy supra ring and pinion gears and have them installe in my housing??

Why not just put in 4.1 or 4.3 gears from a hilux or hiace.

Do they fit straight in??

the gears should fit since it's all G-series, just the housings are different - irs/non-irs

This would be very nice. Has anyone actually tried it??

Chris Davey would be the man to ask.... I remember a sale thread he had

fake edit: found it here

but yeah from what he says in there, it seems like it's "just" a bolt in affair
i've never done it, but am interested in g-series compatibility, beucase i'm screwing with the idea of an airlocker out of a hilux or something

Apparently going back the other way, ie MX83 gears to pre 89ish Hilux diff housings is difficult/requires modification

Hilux /Hiace 4.1 4.3 4.375 AND 4.55 gears will swap with MX83 gears but not 4.875 or 5.28
Do not bother trying to put in a Hilux lsd or locker
