Virus Posted March 5, 2015 Share Posted March 5, 2015 Did that cost alot to rebuild it with TRD parts? Can i let my NA diff be rebuild with TRD parts when i do my GTE swap? How much HP & torque would it be able to handle? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 The crown wheel and pinion (main gears) in the axle are the limiting factors. the larger 6 speed diff has bigger gears and takes more torque. Adding Giken or TRD LSD components won't increase the torque capacity of the basic axle. With both types of LSD section you retain and re-use the crown wheel and pinion gears. Whether a Giken oir TRD LSD parts are better suited depends on your use of the car when done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Risto Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Does anyone know how much this would cost to get done by some where like SRD??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I charge £150 plus bearings, seals and shims and VAT to swap out an open section for a Giken or TRD one if presented with a diff unit out of the car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pedrosixfour Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 Sorry for the off topic OP but... Chris, do you have any of the diff shims to hand? I could do with an idea of the inner & outer diameters of the side & front shims if possible. I want to see if I've anything here to suit my upcoming rebuild with a Cusco unit.

Chris Wilson Posted March 6, 2015 Share Posted March 6, 2015 I thought I had, but no, none around, sorry, and I'd be guessing if I attempted to remember the sizes, sorry mate! You'll have to either buy one of each and use them as patterns, or wait until you strip yours. Sorry!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah no worries Chris, I guess you'd have chimed in on the other thread if you could've helped, but thanks anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
