Te71 Diff, What Model Is It?

[love ke70]

well, i pulled a diff out of a car for someone who wanted it gone assuming it was a standard ke70 diff.
but his car was in fact a 4 door te71 from south africa or somewhere, i get the diff home, and its not the same as a ke70 one.
i don't need it and curiosity is nagging at me wondering what it is.

has drum brakes of 230mm minimum, as opposed to the 202 on a ke70, has an 8 bolt backing plate, and the tag on it says.

9g-2950007
M68 ratio: 4.11
097
58724

is it the same as a t18, or is it an s series? anyone know?

cheers, andrew

[Mr Revhead]

what engine did it have?

will probably be a S series. though could possibly be a T

[Mr Revhead]

hang on, 8 bolt backing plate? wtf

[CLG]

Borg Warner Diff - given the backing plate and ID tag. These are reportedly stronger than the jap fitment diffs to same models, and would probably be on a par with a T series diff, in my opinion.

[love ke70]

mm, so the s and t series are a banjo type diff are they?
and the borgies have the backing plate?
right?

i might pull it off and measure the crownwheel size.

LSD availability, anyone know?

i think it had a 2tc, but not sure, had a 4age in it when i saw it.

cheers guys

Yep, Yep, Yep, Nup!

[Mr Revhead]

oh by backing plate you mean on the diff head.... i assumed the brake backing plate! lol

was the borg warner an aussie assembled fitment?

[love ke70]

yeah, the borg warner was an aus thing.

which is odd that the car was from south efrica i think he said, musta used them there too...
