Limited Split Diff


b.weeks

Recommended Posts

Hi All,

 

Went drag racing at the weekend which was great fun at Crail Raceway. Just wondered about carrying out a few upgrades, namely a limited split differential. Has anyone got any suggestions as to one to get?

 

(Car = J-Spec '96 Twin Turbo)

 

NB Thinking of big single turbo upgrade in the future so must be able to cope with 600+ rwhp.

 

Cheers,

 

Ben.

TRD do a good one speak to Lovatt or Nic on here

if its an auto, money would be better spent on a 3k stall and build transmission over a diff

Doesn't your diff have to be a certain type to actually house the TRD one?

 

TRD make 2 versions of the LSD to fit the 2 different diff cases used on the Supra.

 

41301-JA800 TRD LSD

This is for all pre-facelift Supras with factory LSD fitted.

 

41301-JS402 TRD LSD

This is for all facelift Supras. Also for pre-faclift Supras without factory LSD fitted.

eugh. no. that's giving me nightmares :) The amount of power these cars put through the drivetrain is unbelieveable.

 

I completely ruined a diff in my last supra on the line at the pod. Launched so hard the number plate fell off the back lol

 

I will try and find some pics, I had some close up ones of the cracks in the casing as well as some mightily chewed up teeth :D

Hi guys,

 

Was going to carry out this upgrade, but house buying and a little one on the way took priority. Now looking at this again.

 

Mikey - could you explain how the 3k stall and build transmission over a diff works? what are the benefits of this over a LSD? Can they both be done in conjunction?

 

Cheers,

 

Ben.

Copied from another thread as I couldn't remember which way around it was to check...

 

"Look on the VIN plate, where it says Trans/Axel then a load of numbers then right at the end A for open Diff or B for LSD."

 

Cheers mate - will have a look when I get home.

 

PS It's a 4-speed auto.

Are you auto or manual? Manual all came with a limited slip diff as default, it was optional on auto's.

 

There is a TRD LSD available which a few members on here have fitted.

 

 

Just thought I would mention that it is a Limited slip diff, not a split diff. ;)

 

 

I'll go away now.

 

Is that an echo I hear :innocent: :p
