Changing Diff

[udn_ae86]

Ive read a few posts and looked at a couple of articles and just want to know one thing;

I have a totally stock ADM toyota sprinter. Using the standard rear end can i take the standard diff out and just replace it with an aftermarket diff(eg: TRD/KAAZ 2way), or do i have to replace the entire rear end? (axles, diff, tailshaft,brakes, etc)

Thanks for your time.

If you wanna get a lsd of any description you need an entire t series rear end to go into your sprinter. Do a search on here, your likely to find them in t 18 which are rear now days or you could get them out of a te27 or old skool L2000 celica however with some of these rear ends you might need someone with a jig to cut and weld all your spring perches, swaybar mounts and trailing arms.

Thanks for the response guys.

I also heard that some toyota hilux rear ends can be used to. Is that correct? Are they the T-18 or another one?

T-18 is the model of car that has the T series diff (along with the JDM 86). The Hilux one is a F series?? and from the top of my head needs custom mounts.

note that the t-18 version of the t series diff only came with drums, and only the 2nd series of t-18 came with mounts for the swaybar.

a T-18 diff is the only diff upgrade that will be a direct bolt in job.
hilux celica ect will need new mounts welded onto it.

Hilux = G series

F series = Crown, some Tarago, some Supras, some other early stuff

T18 or JDM T series are the only easy swaps, all others need mounts changed. A PITA if you can weld, expensive if you can't.

Alright then it looks like im getting a T-series rear end then. So idealy id want a t-50, but t-18 will also do the job. Thanks for your help everyone.

T-50 is a gearbox. you want a T-18 diff, and rear half of the tailshaft.

T-18 is the model of car you get the diff and tailshaft from. Be careful thou, last i heard they are getting rareish and expensive. Takumi tax to the massive.

Expect at least $400 delivered to your door

so there's no other t-series besides the japs and t-18?

[rthy]

celica have em to? but not bolt into ae86

[Hen is a total nutcase]

Yes, T series are also found in:
some TA22
probably other *A2* Celicas
RA40s
RA60s
Jap RT132
AE95 rear
probably a few more

But as noted above they aren't a bolt in affair. They need mounts changed.

ae95 ey?

[Hen is a total nutcase]

From what I've heard (admittedly only on the net), AE95 rear diff is a big axle T series, but with 4 by 100 studs.

What need would an AE95 have of a rear dif? AE95 is FWD?
A amte of mine put an RA60 Tseries in his KE70. Bolted in fairyl easilt. It's 20mm or 40mm longer than T18/sprinter I think. He got it to work though http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/tongue.gif

AE92 = FWD
AE95 = 4WD. Called a Tercel.

[LordNafe]

Ahhh the tercel. Fair enough then!
I remember Dimitri saying once the the tercel has a few magicl pieces that can be used in hachi's http://www.ae86drivingclub.com.au/forums/emoticons/wink.gif
