4g63 l200 in 16l colt

[MitchP]

I have a 16l colt build with a reconed 4g63 with mild cam jobby done....

Any ideas on a suitable diff to match?

Unsure of current diff, if from the l200 as well, it's probably fine as it is I'd imagine

I have a grumpy 4g63 on my original la lancer diff, seems to handle abuse ok. Done heaps of track days with it

That's awesome!

That's pretty much the answer I was hoping to get.

From memory, I'm not really sure if there are many/any diffs non-factory that fit nice anyways

[bigfoot]

Only other diff that fit my lancer was a 72 galant

Lancers are bloody narrow, the colts mind you are abit wider.

There are two easy options i can remember that would be an upgrade.

 

10bolt sigma wagon diff. Are l200s 10 bolt coz that would be good too.

The rear axle out of a libero. Turbo ones are LSD, but i think they are an 8bolt centre?

 

Pretty much if its the right width it will work. Only other thing to consider are ratios and how difficult it will be to fit the driveshaft to it etc. leaf rears are easy.

I think they are 10 bolters.

But I'm sure there's also an 8 bolt one out there to.

I'll know more on Friday when I can get home and under the car for a look

Drive till it ceases working... the L200 dif is pretty sturdy(at least it was in my L200 sport haha).

 

And the standard lancer one seems pretty robust too, as per bigfoot I threw a non turbs 4g63 at my LB (originally a 1200cc) with an l200 box, fairly wide rubber iirc, didn't change anything else, zero issues.
