Jonny2TG Forums Junkie Location: Tasmania Registered: May 2002	Re: Locked diff Sat, 11 January 2003 01:16 I have just locked the diff in my Corolla, by welding. The diff is a T series 6.7" 4.1:1, out of a RA23. I removed the diff from the center housing, and removed the crown wheel. I should also have removed the bearings, but did not. This way no heat effects the bearings or crownwheel, and nothing will have a reason to wine when you are finnished. I did not use a plate, but just welded everything up, to the housing. Idealy, some pre-heat is needed on the housing so it does not crack, or you can just weld a second time after it is hot. I don't think 5 hours is needed to cool. The crystal structure is probably set after 15 mins and can be water cooled after that. This is my daily driver, but I build it more for the track and spirited driving. There is no need to get sideways unless you want to. With good tyres you can keep it strait in the wet, no drama. A locked diff is faster around corners, and better acceleration from a stop. I want to get a TRD or KAAZ LSD. They are 4 pinion and clutch type. I will get a 2-way probably. $1800. The KAAZ has bigger plates. The LSD will feel better on the street. I agree, if you have a girlfriend thats not into spirited driving and its your dailer driver, stick to a open diff or get a LSD. If your into track practice, getting the most fun out of your car, experementing, donuts, go for the locker. If you need a locker, a full spool is best. That replaces all the diff housing with a new part that is lighter. A mini-spool just replaces the diff gears and is put in the standard housing. No welding is needed. I am told race cars like V8 supertourers use a full spool (locked) center. [Report message to a moderator]
