JiP Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Hey guys, I just did a quick search but didn't find anything. So sorry if this has been covered but I was wondering if the diff centers can be swapped from KE70's into KE55's?? (Borg Warner) I'm kinda hoping to find myself an Auto Diff for my sedan and wagon. thanks, J. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Ive got a flogged out KE70 auto diff here if you wanted to take it for a trial fit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted June 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 (edited) Sounds good, I've got a bit of time coming my way too. I might give it a go. **EDI** Has anyone actually attempted this before?? Edited June 21, 2008 by JiP_01 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tas_ae71 Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 what about a whole diff swap to something a little stronger? the auto version had a lower ratio than manual ones correct?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jono Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 i think the auto has the higher ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
irokin Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 Manuals are 4.1, autos are 4.3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiP Posted June 22, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I heard that auto diffs accelerate faster. That's the goal. :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Taz_Rx Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 (edited) I heard that auto diffs accelerate faster. That's the goal. :) yeah accelerate.....then run out of legs faster!! :) Or go through the gears quicker, not neccesarrally any faster! :( Edited June 22, 2008 by Taz_Rx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beerhead Posted June 22, 2008 Report Share Posted June 22, 2008 I half agree with you, if you're talking about a boosted car or something with some capacity and torque. But if this is for a 1.3 or a 1.6L motor, with a decent rev range, it's going to amplify you're torque, because you're in a marginally lower ratio than normal, whatever gear your in. Littlered's blacktop going from 4.1 to 4.55 ratio was something to behold, totally transformed the car. yeah accelerate.....then run out of legs faster!! :) Or go through the gears quicker, not neccesarrally any faster! :( Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
