Ring and Pinion Gear Sets for large diff casing

Recommended Posts

Hey All,

 

Does anyone know what ring and pinion gear ratios are available for the larger style 6 speed diff casing.

 

PHR offer a 4.27:1 set which would knock approx 40mph off the top speed but I think this is for the smaller auto casing only.

 

 

:cool:

Now...about mk4's differentials

There are 2 differential sizes in the JZA80, the most common is the A series which runs a 200mm crown wheel which was found in the 2JZ-GE manual and automatic as well as the 2JZ-GTE automatic and in the manual 2JZ-GTE from 5/96 up until 7/02 when the JZA80 was no longer produced. The following ratios are available for the A series diff - 3.266, 3.769 & 4.083.

 

Then there is the B series which runs a 220mm crown wheel. It was found in the 6speed 2JZ-GTE from 5/93 up until the 5/96 where it was discontinued and replaced with the smaller A series. There was only ever 2 ratios offered on the B series diff - Export JZA80's received the 3.133 whilst the JDM ran a slightly shorter 3.266 ratio.

 

Both of the A & B series run a Type 1 Torsen differential up until the 5/96 when the Type 2 Torsen was introduced.

I may be being a bit silly here, but do you really want to put a higher ratio diff on a 500+bhp Supra?

I've bought a UK diff to get the lowest ratio I could find in an effort to use second and third gear more effectively.

My personal feeling is that the car is now undergeared. It reminds me of having a mk2 Escort with a 2.0 engine on 1.3 running gear.. :innocent:

I am trying to get 4th and 5th down a bit, the other option is a complete new gearbox or custom ratios either of which are fapping pricey :D

 

Yeah, I've looked that that too. IMHO the gearing on the V160 is pretty crap really. I'd rather have the NA 5sp ratios.

I've often wondered if Toyota used the 6sp box as a bit of a sales gimmick.

The diff I had is sold (to Paul Whiffin, not sure if he used it or not).

 

Yep, we used it on Ben Weeks Time Attack Supra, according to Ben its much much urgent now and makes better use of the gears. For instance at Time Attack at Brands Hatch a few weeks ago I didn't get into 5th at all when Ben was well into 5th. Not sure of the benefits on a road only car though.
