xt130 corona diff info. (with MS paint :P)

[chris davey]

Been doing some good measurements of my 82 xt130 corona with mitsubishi pajero/tritan diff.
(All the measurements are the distance in between) This diff is setup like factory and the centre of diff is centre of car ie. same length axles.

Width: 1427mm
top control arms:568mm
lower control arms: 1035mm
shock mounts: 1128mm (attached to lower control arm mounts)
swaybay: 510mm
spring mounts: 935mm

Panhard rod
Distance from left hub face:315mm
Distance fromright hub face: 1112mm
Distance to the LHS top control arm: 115mm
Length of rod: 750mm

Tailshaft: 1170mm (from mounting face to the end of the gearbox ie. extra portion inside the yoke)

Here is a pic
yellow = top control arm
red = sway bar
blue = panhard rod
purple = lower control arm
brown = shock mount
aqua = spring mounts

Nice work Chris. Love the MS paint diagram.

Have you sorted out something to replace your current diff?

[chris davey]

Well I 'may' have.

A fella is selling a 2wd hilux diff with a locked 4.6:1 centre that has come out of an 81 model corona. He doesn't know if it is xt130 though. From what I have found 79-83 was xt130 so it should be straight bolt in job!

He also has a 2 piece tailshaft to suit 1jz with soarer auto in a corona so grabbing that as well.

He said the diff is 1470mm wide though not 1410mm so? Will sort it out with wheel offsets.

That sounds pretty short. Weren't you after something in the 3.7-3.9:1 range?

What's the availability of ratios for these?

[chris davey]

sorry, forgot to mention I will be using a CIG locker cressida 3.9:1
