Low ratios for F series
|
Mon, 26 September 2005 02:35

I have a friend who wants to do an F series diff conversion in his Fiat, but he needs a final drive ratio of 4.3:1 or lower. Does anyone know where you could find a gearset this low? All I could think of was the Hilux Surf (front diff is F series), but I have a feeling the gearset won't work in a rear diff. 
Any other suggestions?

4.3 in:
1989 2.2litre 4YE Tarago - Seen build plate.
Some form of old Soarer, maybe GZ20??? - Read on internet
There is a great thread that lists heaps of F-series info and what they all came from too.

Some of the G powered soarers ahve 4.3 or possibly 4.5:1 ratios - I know for a fact they exist - friend has a 4.6:1 gearset in his F series diff.

I would also like to add to that, RT142 Auto (1986) was 3.727 (no build plate), and drive.com.au lists manuals as being 3.42 (F382?)... interesting.
But it looks like Norbies friend will be after the following at least, I suggest MS123 as the easiest to find out of that bunch?...(also worth a note, MS123's do have a different diff casing to say MA61/RA65  )
4.30 - GA61 Celica XX manual(F285)LSD
4.30 - MS123 Crown auto(F282)
4.556 - MA63 Supra auto(EDM?) (F252)
4.75 - MS57 Crown auto(F??2 - no build plate fitted)
4.778 - MS110 crown auto(F362)

Thanks guys, that's some useful info. The Tarago is especially interesting, it might even be the correct width for the Fiat!

Hiya Norbie, got a scrap of paper on my desk, tells me the "F" series diff n the RV Tarago is 1390mm. (me thinks, that is damn close to the HiLux)I remember measuring the Tarago about 18 months ago.
cheers Chuck.

Why? Do you want to enter burnout competitions?
