Hi guys i want to put an ae86 differential into my ke20( with 2tg). Do you know if it fit to me?

Yes is the short answer.

 

But you need to remove the trailing arm brackets, spring seats and have the leaf spring mounts added.

 

You will also need to have the housing and axle shafts shortened, as the AE86 diff housing is to wide for a KE20 (track).

 

Depending on what sort of tailshaft you have at the moment, you may need to alter the rear yoke to suit the T series pattern.

I would have said No was the short answer...

you can run positive offset rims so you don't have to shorten it. my mate has an ae86 disc rear axle-to-axle in his ke20 and runs pulsar ET rims. sits nice. whole shell is for sale at the moment acutally.

but positive offset looks gay.

Why not use a T Seires TA22 diff? Same width as the KE30 Borgie items. Probably need a little modifying to the housing for traling arms or leaf springs, but better width

I would have said No was the short answer...

 

ZING!

 

haha

 

why an ae86 diff of all things?

Ok thanks but i meant, if the group of the diff fits to me.

Yes, any T series diff as fitted to an AE86, TE72, various Celica's, Corolla (in some markets) will fit as per my post above. They all have various track widths, with a TA22 being the narrowest and closest to a KE20.

 

Some very early TA22's came with leaf sprung rears, otherwise you will need to modify as I said above. Also the US had T series rears in leaf sprung KE2x's.

 

Watch you don't get an S series diff as fitted to some AE86's if that is where your diff is coming from.

 

If you are planning to install an LSD to whatever diff rear you choose, bear in mind you may need to slightly shorten the rear axles compared to a conventional diff in the same housing.

 

Not sure where you are located, but your choices may be reduced depending on what was available in your market.
