ae71wagonater Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 Hey guys , I have an AE71 wagon and a KE70 wrecker car. My ae71 has a 4.1 ratio diff and my KE70 wrecker has a 3.9. Which diff will give me more low end power, and i am now running 15 inch mags on my wagon, would changing to the lower ratio diff improve the accuracy of my speedo ? . Cheers everyone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billyrock Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 4.1 will give your more lowend power 4.1 is the amout if times the tailshaft turns to 1 rotation of the axles compared to 3.9 so higher the number the lower the gearing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

irokin Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 trueeeee,, any idea which cars came with a 4.3? Pretty much all the auto's for the sedans, not entirely sure about the wagons. It wouldn't surprise me if you could find a 4.5 from a panelvan or something like that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

superbmobile Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 cheers, do you think it would be worth changing from a 4.1 to a 4.3 to achieve a quicker 0-100 time or should i look elsewhere for performance? defiantly 4.3 will make a difference from 4.1 yet again. So its worth it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ae174agze Posted February 27, 2008 Report Share Posted February 27, 2008 performance wise just buy a hot 5k or a 4age and drop it in you might have to think about also the streetablitly of it so u don't want ur car sitting at 4k rpm doing only 100km (fuel prices :yes: ) there is a calculator on the net you can use to find out how fast you can go at a cirtain rpm ra ra ra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm really just trying to get it to beat my mates ca18 180sx without going to the step of a new ECU and crap ($$$) . Cheers everyone.

ae71wagonater Posted February 28, 2008 Author Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 is it a turbo CA18? if so, good luck with that one! haha. haha thanks everyone, yea its a turbo, on paper the specs are not too much different, CA18DET HP: 173hp@6400rpm 4age 20V silvertop 160 @ 7400 he smashed me allready but i had no tacho, so didnt nearly get up it. got the good jump off the line though hehe. Next time ill rev it right out, since the corolla is the underdog its not so bad being beaten, but i would love to see his face passing him in the wagon lol. maybe if i take out my rear seats and drill speed holes?
