chees- Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 i've searched allot for this and can't find any straight forward info. i've currently got a torsen lsd out of a gt4 which should apparently fit my t series diff. opened up the normal diff and took out the stub axles, the splines on the original stub axles are smaller and the bolt spacing for axle are also smaller. anyone know anything about this?

Spencer Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 T series has two axle sizes man, it will be something to do with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 i figured it might, wonder if the spare diff is different from the one i have in it /probably not fuck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitch.W Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 altezza centres bolt up? and you can get sweet 3.7 ratios for cruising with little wheels but yeah no clue about the celica ones haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spencer Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Altezza is f series so would be custom axles and mounts to fit the head Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted May 21, 2013 Author Share Posted May 21, 2013 yup, guess i'll just go full f series rear subframe as t's are pretty shit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4AG_Addict Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I just used the larger stub shafts from the Celica head in the original T series housing & redrilled the flanges on the half shafts so they would bolt up (AA63 Carina with IRS T series) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ta63-1uzze Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 I have personally have built a torsen lsd from a altezze into a f series diff, it is just the centre that can be used, the pinion and crown wheels don't swap over. I used original f series stub axels. I had to make custom side shims to get the correct preload on the side bearing and the correct backlash between the pinion and the crown wheel, this didn't take very long to make., bit of time on a lathe is all. the stub axels for factory lsd are shorter . not by much , and not the splined part, just the overhang. they may need trimming down if you have the longer ones. BUT , I wouldn't every do it again, the toresn lsd is shit for anything but traction racing, if you plan to do burnouts and try and drift it I would advise you not to waste your time with it. Toyota lsds are hard to find and not very good, best to save up your bucks and get a trd or a cusco and never have to worry about it again I found that the torsen would act like a open if you get to much loss of traction to one wheel, like if you try snake it on the second flick it would open up to a huge one wheeler .and if you have short stroke suspension with not a lot of travel , and you get a wheel of the ground when it hits the ground again the torque will destroy the torsen and blow it into a million bits. they are crap for abuse they cant handle it at all . best of luck to you to find a true plate type lsd, they are worth the money in my opinion .

Spencer Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 Yup torsen is no good for skids. Great for track racing though, as long as your car is setup well and doesn't lift a wheel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kpr Posted May 21, 2013 Share Posted May 21, 2013 +1 for buy a trd diff. expensive, but best cash you will spend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chees- Posted May 22, 2013 Author Share Posted May 22, 2013 thanks heaps, basically i'll just stick with an open till i find a f series subframe local and go from there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beachlander Posted May 22, 2013 Share Posted May 22, 2013 Will talk tonight about subframe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Truenotch Posted May 26, 2013 Share Posted May 26, 2013 Just to add to this quickly, the GT4 rear ends are 26.5mm as opposed to the 25mm or 24mm that other T series normally run. Here's a list of comparisons thanks to AE25: http://toycrazy.net/index1.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-Calico Posted May 30, 2013 Share Posted May 30, 2013 Ha, yea swap to F series and find an older LSD. Tell me if you need the trailing arms too haha, As Alex (Al_feinted) didn't have any when I bought a subframe off him, and to steal an ED saying, I'm working at glacial pace. Usually pay $600 ish for an older factory F LSD, if you find one cheaper jump on it. Or, http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-parts-accessories/toyota/diffs-axles/auction-598448364.htm Do it the easy/hard way Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
