**Corona XT130** · 03-07-2006, 06:34 PM

Hi Im a new member & new to Toyota Cars.
I want to know If someone can help me with an LSD?
Which cars housing & LSD Centres will fit into mine?
I don't understand most of the models eg, TA22 etc as I am not familar with Toyota cars.
Any help would be much appreciated.

Cheers
Craig.

First have a read of these:
Toyota Engine Codes
Toyota Model Codes
Toyota Diff Codes
Eg the TA22 Toyota Celica (1971-1975), They usually have a 2T engine which is very simple, its the second edition of the T series engine, as soon as you see the 2 you know its 1600cc, If its only T then its 1400cc and if its a 3T then it'll be 1800cc in capacity. Because theres no letters on the end of the code its a SOHC and has a single downdraught/dual barrell carby.
TA22 means the car has a T series engine and is the 22nd edition of the A chassis (2 door coupe, RWD)
Diff codes are a bit more complicated and harder to remember but easy if you know the diff code and have access to a site like the one above. I have a T292 diff (it says so on my build plate) so Its a T series diff (6.7inch), the 29 stands for a ratio of 4.10:1 and the 2 stands for 2 pinion, open/no lSD centre.

What does your build plate say for your diff (axle), Its probably a F series (7.5"), other users will know what you have and what you need to get a LSD centre. If so some of the MA61 early Supras came out with LSD centres, (might be called a F313)

Hope i've helped, Ace

As to the diff in your Rona its got the crappy borg warner diff like my 130 still has.Im not sure if there is a lsd that will bolt in.I think there could be but unsure.Easiest way out would be change the whole rear end over and put a RT 132 Corona liftback diff in.These are T series diffs so finding an lsd may be alot easier than the borg warner setup.

just a thought... the 1X (holden starfire) engine in your xt130 hasnt really got enough poke to justify an lsd.. it couldnt pull the skin off custard.

and im not jsut bagging the car i had one and i wouldnt spend your cash on it honestly. i bought one as a chepa belt around. and it did just that but i wouldnt go shelling cash on it

Oh a bogwarmer diff, I didn't think of that...
They don't follow the usual Toyota diff codes

from a seim detailed look at the xt130 rear end it looks to have the same mounting points as the xt14x so it should fit the irs(f) rear in there i am not 100% but like i said it should fit the irs rear end you gotta look into it furter it

hi,

i've done numerous searches and can find plenty about what diff you have... as it left the manufacturer... but otherwise i can't physically fnd where it is stamped on the diff.

I know its a hilux diff, i have measured the centre and its around 8.5" on the outside, im not sure if that any indication if its an F series 7.1" or G series 8". I admit though i havent got a tapemeasure to measure the length of the diff.

So my question... where the hell is the code stamped on the diff itself!

it must be on top of it or sumfin in which case u would need a mirror to get to it

cheers

F series is actually 7.5inch. And the LSD you get for that is out of a 1983-1986 MA61 supra.

If it is a G series 8 inch, the LSD is out of a 1986-1992 MA70 supra.

fwiw Mk2 Corona F Diff 1400mm
G Series Hilux (later 1's) 1410mm

No-one makes LSD centres for the Borg-Warner diff found in an XT130, so you're shit outta luck there. If you really want an LSD your best option is to swap in an entire axle from something with an F series diff (eg MkII Corona) or G series diff (eg Hilux). LSD centres of various types are easily available for the F & G series diffs.
