i'm gonna track down a diff for my mx22. a couple of the other mark 2 maniacs here have done a diff change, so input from you's would be greatly appreciated. is a G diff from the hilux up to the job, that is, to cope with a 1UZ? it's not gonna be a fully trciked up engine, just an exhaust, and from what i've gathered, a better inlet manifold would be worthwhile too. what model hilux do i need to rape to get the right diff??

The F diff you have already is more than up to the task.

Any model except RN2x. RN41 are very common at wreckers.

You should be able to track down an F series Diff for it and bolt it straight in. have a look arounf for F series rear ends first, may save you some heartache.

it's got an e diff, and one of the axles is hell bent. i could easily get an f diff but from what you guys have been saying, i'd much rather a g diff, with an lsd, and easier to get gears and stuff. what ratios can i get them from a wrecker if i get a rn41? how tall can i get a gear set for one? 3.5:1?

RN41 won't have an LSD in it (or very very unlikely anyway). Whether you get an F diff or a G diff, you'll have to swap in an LSD centre. So where's the advantage in a G diff? You'll need to modify the suspension mounting points, the tailshaft, and re-drill the axles to 4-stud ($$$), whereas the F diff will just bolt in.
If you want 3.5:1, a manual RA65 has an F diff with that ratio. That's what I'm using in my MA61 right now.

i'm gonna get an lsd either way. i want 5 stud, fuckin impossible to get the wheels you want with an obsolete stud pattern. this has probly been asked already, what hubs can i use for the front, and brake upgradability, for 5 stud, preferably the same as a hilux?

Just use the E series diff till it blows up. In the meantime search for bargains.

but can i use an f diff axle in it( are the splines the same/same size)?. it's not a registered car and i doubt they'll pass it with a bent wheel!!
|
|

it looks like i'm going with what norbie suggested. will an axle from an f diff fit in the e diff? just until i get the right diff.
