Toyota Diff Info - Crown wheel sizes, Ratios, General info

[Carsnz123]

I'm not sure where I got this info but I thought I'd share it. 

 

First of all some basic info about the F series Diff.

Crown Wheel: 7.5"

Braking: Drum and Disc variations

RA65 Celica = Drum
RT142 Corona IRS = Solid Disc
MA61 Supra = Vented disc
MX73 Cressida = Vented Disc
YR22 Tarago = Drum
MS112 Crown = Drum
Corona Mk2 = Drum

RT142 live axle borgwarner discs can be adopted (semi) easily onto some F and T diffs

F series ratio info here on Toymods too.

Example: F372 = 7.5" 3.58 final ratio 2 pinion diff. Will not be stamped on the diff, you will have to check the build plate on the firewall of the car you pull it from.

LSD Availability: Altezza LSD's form the likes of Kaaz etc will bolt in but a spacer ring needs to be made up for it to work. Can anyone shed more light on this? Steroidchickens?

Tomei Altezza centre into an MS112 Crown = Works, no problem!
Cusco Altezza centre into YR22 Tarago = Success!

IRS centres will bolt straight into Live axle F diffs so you could use an MA61 LSD but apparently no good for proper driving with small clutch plates and small surface area they aren't very effective and usually well worn out. An aftermarket 1.5 or 2 way or locker is your best bet for grip or drift work. See Kaaz, Tomei, OS Giken, Cusco, (TRD no longer available)

Side note for celica/cressida/irs corona - Altezza/RS2000 Cusco LSD was a nightmare for my diff guy into RT142/RA65 IRS centre probably due to the car not being LSD to begin with. Machining and lots of hunting for correct bearings needed. Have been told (but can't confirm) that the MA61 diff centre half shafts are needed as they were lsd from factory and are shorter to suit.

Torsen and Truetracs LSD's are also available. Many hilux 4wd live axle ran 7.5" FRONT diffs too 80 and 90's, possibly 2000's. Lots of options from 4 wheel drive aftermarket companies.
