KE20 boosters, brakes and diff, advice needed
|

I did a quick search and found a little bit of info, but nothing solid regarding booster, brake and diff choices for KE20's
I wanna know if my RA23 struts will fit into the KE20?, I have found some info that states it is a straight forward swap?http://www.netwiz.net/%7Etcar/ctechtips.html# 14 aside from a little bit of cutting  , if not, what fabrication or modification is required?, or what strut is a simple swap?
What booster and MC will fit in the engine bay with a 2TGEU?, I have heard that the TA22 is a popular choice?, will the RA booster fit also?
And it seems that the KE55 diff is the diff of choice?, is this a straight bolt on?, if not, what requires modification?, what is a better option?
I am after some solid advice and info, and if there is anyone who has done these mods, please let me know so I can learn.
Cheers

if you have the struts.. and you have the car.. surely the vest information you can get is to fit it yourself and find out?
the KE55 diff? the KE20-KE70 diffs are not much different.. sure there is the jap and bogwarmer types, but they are both equally strong (just one is more of a bitch to change centres )
the KE55 diff is not the diff of choice. it may be slightly wider than the KE20 diff, but is no better.
why not an S or T series diff?

Not to worried about diff strength at this stage,.
just want a cheap tidy option to change stud pattern to 4x114mm at the rear so they match the front,.
Re:RA struts, I was curious to see if anyone else had done it, as I could save myself a few hours work..

ahh k. you can (almost definitely) use KE30 jap axles, but you may need to grind a few mm off the end..
check that you can fit the KE20 bearing on there, check the distance between the bearing and the splined end, and when they match.. all good

Cool,.. (sorry for the late reply)
I'm going the KE30 axle swap, and just wanted to quickly ask,.
Is it ok to grind it off the splined end?, and can I just use a grinder?, or does it need to be a perfectly machined?
Thanks for the info

I have been told by many a source that the ke55 diff would be suitable. Because it is stronger than the Ke20/25/30/35 diffs.

Yep, I have heard this also, but it seems easier grind a couple of mm off the end of the KE30 axles and swap them over,.
I think the standard diff would handle a 4age quite well, if you respect it
But I am only plonking in a 2TG, so I just want the 4x114mm studs to match the front...
Still waiting for some advice though
