Hilux mini/full spools
Hey guys anyone ever fitted these to your g/f series diffs. What's your opinions on then for drifting and tracking as I am considering getting a full spool soon. I run a g series LSD from
a supra, it's spins singleggers 50% of the time so pretty sik of it. Also can't seem to find mini spools for the diff for some reason.
Just get your LSD rebuilt.. lockers are a pain.. Plus a G series spool was like $400 last time I looked. Only real advantage is they save a heap of weight.. If you want a locked rear, just weld a single spinner center up.
I have been told by 5 diff places that they don't like rebuilding the stock LSD for toyotas
if I were to get a full spool does it replace my center? How do I keep my 4.1 diff ratio
the 4.1's are two seperate pieces consisting of the crown-wheel and pinion, they are attached to the actual "centre" and pinion carrier via bolts.
if you were to get a full spool. you would simply unbolt the "4.1's" and bolt them up to the full spool/pinion carrier.
if you have never touched pinion carrier before, i wouldnt recommend touching one as there is a lot of finesse that goes into aligning a pinion with a crown-wheel but thats a whole other bag of cookies and should be left to the experts.
They don't like fixing he stock ones... man that sucks. Mine's a little iffy. Not keen on forking out a gorilla for a new center,
Ok understand now , I was quoted 500 just for the full spool so contemplating wether to weld it or spool it. I've never driven a car with a full spool does it feel just like a locker whilst turning slow
Spool is exactly the same as a locker. Just gets ride of all the extra metal thats not used..
its exact same and a full spool is much stronger then a weldie.
if you've got the cash go for a full spool, if not just get your open centre welded as it will drive the same.
Thanks for the info, I've been looking at the Detroit lockers also for alittle extra is it worth it? Just to be on the legal side.
g series full spool.
woot 2 wheels all the time, every time
about $400 as said.
cons are :
a bit of understeer into corners
shit in the wet
