brendon Posted August 29, 2012 Author Share Posted August 29, 2012 Hi, am after a LSD Diff between 3.7 and 4.0. I think 3.7 will be good should sit on about 2600rpm at 100k The 4.0 will sit on around 2900rpm at 100k Thinking of sourcing a hilux, get it shortened etc. Anyone got some hook ups?

brendon Posted August 30, 2012 Author Share Posted August 30, 2012 Thinking of putting a Aletezza Diff head into a F series or similar. Thoughts on this? Just finding a hilux Lsd below 4.0 will be few and far between + costly. Also they are quite big. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-W-G Posted September 4, 2012 Share Posted September 4, 2012 If you want to fork out 1000 dollars + on shortening a diff then get a hilux. Loads of aftermarket support and parts. In future you said you wanted to turbo and get 300+ bhp so id probably look at a 4.1 ratio and with a5 speed box you should be right for cruising at 100kph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendon Posted September 4, 2012 Author Share Posted September 4, 2012 Hey man Yeah can't seem to find many under 4.1 .. There is one 4.1 on tm @ $550 just the head. Is this what you pay for em? Think i'll go with the hilux Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
