E series diffs

[merc-blue]

Yes another Diff question
This time im asking for opinions not facts/specs
LIsted as 7.1 inch is it worth while upgrading from a 6.7inch T series,
Im not running a super powerful setup but im looking at 200RWHP
200 Horsies is right on the upper limit of a T series would the little bit extra be enough?
Cheers

i'm confused, the poll is for an F diff, yet the thread is about an E diff, which one are you gonna get? i reckon the T will break, the E will be alright, if your a responsible driver and the F will definately be fine.

[brett_celicacoupe]

might need to change the poll to E series

i dont think LSD's were ever made for them and none are available now so it would suck......200rwhp and no LSD??

[joecoolmk2]

^^^yeah that too.

all that power going to one wheel=going nowhere

[merc-blue]

yeah i meant E series in the poll,
good point, so F series is the way, the hilux had 4 Stud aswell didnt it?

[brett_celicacoupe]

hilux's were either 5 or 6 stud.

there are no F series diffs that are less than 1410mm wide as well. TA22's are 1375 IIRC.

early 5 stud hilux were 1375 though

ba bwo, wrong! hilux's have G series, which would be overkill, and they are all 5 stud or 6 stud(4WD).

although, these are even easier to get ratio's and lsd's for, so you might consider this if you were planning to up the power later

[joecoolmk2]

not quite true, the RA25 has an F diff, but that doesn't really count.

[merc-blue]

yeah sorry i got mixed up for abit, hilux G series are not what i want cause of 4 stud
the one i want is the 1410mm Tarago F series with the 4.3:1 ratio ill get a LSD center and tweak the ratio from there

[joecoolmk2]

what ratio are you after?there are several different cars you can get them from, and i believe you can buy new sets too. mx13/23 have 3.91:1, ms85 have 4.1:1, ra65 have 3.5ish?:1.

[brett_celicacoupe]

i think tarago might be 1450.....but youll have to check that out for yourself

[merc-blue]

yeah im not sure im thinking 4.3 would be good maybe a 4.1 im not sure if i want to go down to 3.5 cause the event im looking at require acceleration more than top end (or have i got this backward)

1415 according to norbies database, ill measure anything beofre i buy becasue wreckers dont know everything

[merc-blue]

ultimately i would like a MA47 supra rear end 1410mm with discs, but im not expecting to find one

[brett_celicacoupe]

4.3:1 would allow you to blast off the line much quicker, ie the 4wd type ratio

3.5:1 would allow you to set the land speed record....well not really but you get the point

[merc-blue]

yeah i got that the right way so im wanting about 4.1 or similar high ratio
