Hey guys, Found out my hilux has a G code rear end (I Guess they all do?) and an open diff. I'd like to put in a LSD, as well as shorter gears. What cars have an LSD that would drop right in?
Easy solution is to switch to a V6 diff out of a 4x4 that'll give you at least 4.10's and put an mkII supra limited slip in it.
currently have a 4.11. As crazy as this may sound, looking for a shorter final, as the 18rg redlines at 7000 rpms, and feels too tall.
If you want lower than that the only factory gears are found in 4 runners from 89-95. V6 automatic had 4.56's and V6 auto with factory alloy wheels and spare tire carrier had 4.88's. I'm currently running 4.56's in my 89 with a W58 and 265/50/12's and it's a great combo.
so to run a 4runner rear diff, I'd need to get conversion bearings like these? Otherwise everything is P&P? Conversion bearing allows Toyota V6 carrier in 4cly housing
so get a G code rear end from a v6 engined car, and the supra diff just plugs & play or use my 4 cyl G Code rear end and use conversion bearings. Is that right?
ALL 4runner and 4x4 pickups have 8" or what is known as G code in 2 the wheel drive world. But yes, g code 2 wheel drive or 4 cylinder 4 wheel drive will need the bearings. V6 will accept the diff directly.
Damn yea you're absolutely correct it's mkIII. I was too caught up watching KOH yesterday to realize my error. At least it was caught before parts were sourced.
just pulled a 93 v6 5speed 3rd member today for the car, so if im reading this properly a mk2 supra rear end will drop in?
of course the vin plate is completely faded on the car lol, well i got the 4runner center section and i found a mk2 at the yard with a lsd in it so i need to pull the diff, i will pull apart the 3rd member tomorrow at work, i was lucky enough to find a 4 runner that had recently had a new ring and pinion installed within a few thousand miles, i figure the truck had a catastrophic engine failure, it was a v6 after all.
