Volvo Diff into Ke70 Diff Locker Questions.

[Brennan]

Hey guys, I think i have decided upon a volvo dana 30 diff for the ke70, and considering getting one of these eaton lockers: http://www.summitracing.com/parts/DTL-912A588/

Cool little video;

Before i go ahead, anybody have any opinions? ideas? how this may go so terribly wrong?

Will be mainly a street car, with the altezza engine powering it as seen in my build thread

Cheers

Fuck, Eaton have their fingers in a lot of pies, don't they! Did not realise this...

Sorry for the spam

dana diffs are essentially very good, they are big heavy and strong,

they like any other diff have a few inherant failings though,

oil grade is important otherwise the will start howling quite quickly,

seals are not shit but aren't brilliant for 4x4ing (most of the bad media comes from this).

jeep liberty's carry the 30 diff which runs 27 spline axles in quite a narrow diff housing.

i have a 30 spline detroit locker from a dana 40 sitting here.

Cheers. Haven't seen the diff out of the Volvo yet so not sure how heavy it is. Waiting for the wrecker to grab one out. and yea they are supposedly 27 spline the same as the jeeps. Hopefully it's lighter than the hilux I am trying to avoid.

Fuck yeah

Locked diff at the touch of a button

I like!

Na this ones just a helix style lsd? (hopefully loose enough to get a cert with)

Not sure if im keen on spending that extra on a air or elocker, when im not 100% sure its going to work.
