torsen lsd into non-lsd supra

[Guest escortman]

ok so my jza80 1996 supra pre facelift has a open diff, im looking at fitting a trd mechanical lsd, will this bolt in or do i have to change bits?

The Supra was fitted with 2 different diffs, left is an early model 6spd TT diff (B), right is the smaller diff (A) used on ALL other Supra models, including the facelift 6spd TT.

 

TRD sell 2 different sized LSD's to fit:-

 

Diff A - 41301-JS402 TRD LSD

 

Diff B - 41301-JA800 TRD LSD

 

The TRD LSD is a straight swap, you should also fit new carrier bearings and seals.

If it does not have the extended alluminium cooler on the back its the smaller diff.

sweet its def the smaller one, are they weaker from been smaller? how much power can a trd lsd take? im looking around the 400-450kw atw mark when im finished

You will not break it with that power around 610bhp I think. The smaller diff is not any weaker than the larger diff. How long the diff last depends on your driving style, treat it with mechanical sympathy and it will last for the life of the car with regular fluid changes. Shock it and it wont last very long.
