Hilux diff info Fri, 04 July 2003 13:35 Go to next message
Hello, I'm new on the forum.
I live in Curacao, Netherlands Antilles, in the caribbean just a few miles off the coast of Venezuela, Aruba, etc etc.

I've noticed that allot of the guys here on the forum like to use Hilux diffs.
I would like to receive more info about these ,like model,year,engine, etc etc.

On the Island we also have allot of hilux pick-ups and Hiace vans but none (to my knowledge) are LSD!

Thank's for your time.

welcome to the forums Very Happy

check out this tech article

http://www4.tpgi.com.au/users/loats/technical/mx23 /hiluxdiff.html

the LSD center is taken from a MA71/JZA70 supra or MZ20 soarer and fitted to the hilux housing.

hope this helps

Ryso, depends what car you want to put the diff into. The RN27 Hilux (late 70's or early 80's) has a 1370 mm hubface to hubface width. Most others are 1410 mm across. Hiaces are generally 1570 mm across.

Check the build plate as this will have a diff code - it will be G followed by 3 numbers. If the third number is a 3 or a 5, then the diff centre is an LSD. The first 2 numbers will indicate the diff ratio. It can be deciphered here.

If LSDs are tricky to find on the island, with the 4WD capital of the world only a few hundred kilometres to your north, surely LSD centres would be easy enough to get from there?

I have a 1984 KP61 starlet, 2 door that I'm going to turbocharge now, so I don't want a numerically high gearratio. I prefer somewhere between 3.90 and 4.30, if available from factory.

I can get my hands on older hilux pickups easier that the newer models (mid 70's to early 80's).

Do you guys shorten the axles and housing to fit under a KP starlet or swap it "as is"?

Thanks
P.s. What do you guys mean by "hubface"? face of the axle?
