I'm thinking i'd better look into this a bit. What were the different diff ratios out of the Rollas before 81? I know that Lappy said that the highest ratio ones were the pano/wagon ones. Is that right?

Also, would KE20 diffs fit a KE35-55?

Oh yeah, and I know that there were 4 spd (pre 78) and 5 spd manual boxes (me thinks KE55), but were there different ones?

 

Cheers,

i know this.

The diff ratios and gear ratios for ke55 4 and 5 speeds are identical, except that the 5-speed has overdrive.

 

KE55's have Borg Warner 4.11:1 diffs.

I can remember 4th is 1:1.

I can't remember/don't know anything else.

the ratios i have came across is 4.2 4.3 4.4 4.5 in jap diffs and 4.1 4.3 borg warner

all the "good" ratios are in the "t" rear

hardly

Also 4.1 and 3.9 (?) in the Jap diffs.

 

Picked up my 4.77's from the TRD boys last week for my t-series.... :D

how can I identify jap diffs and BW diffs and their ratios?

also, where would I find a 4.5 ratio diff? could I find them in wagons or panel vans or wagons and panos come out with varying ratios?

 

cheers!

i've got a BW diff centre thats 3.79:1 (came from ke70 wag) I'm keeping it incase i got interstate one day.

 

Jap diffs unbolt from the front, BW diffs have the bolts on the back...

the BW's have a plate mounted on the back that says ratios

 

scott.

why hardly, jamie?

daisy had 4.44's untill i put a ke25 4.22's in it

then i cobbled up rear using a starlet center (3.18), starlet axles, and the ke25 housing.

i was running 175/50/r13's and was able to cruise at 110mph until i hit a little hill....i kept breaking them doing burnouts untill i put the te28 rear in it(4.10)

now i'm running bubba's 3.58's....

i would much rather have a taller gear than a short one for daily driving

most of us are after shorter gears. i have no problem dailying with 4.3s. personally, i find 4.1 too tall for a corolla, it's only a little engine. and you can get all those gears for both T and U series anyway

out here you criuse at 75-85mph, so i had a problem with the 4.10's....AND it sems to have more drag power with the taller gears....dunno why

TRD made 5.1,4.7,4.5 for a k series and 5.3,5.1,4.7,and 4.6 for the T series.

how do I identify the Jap diffs (their respective ratios) and which cars would I find the shorter (4.5) ratios in? I'm sort of interested in a 81 Wagon (is that ke38?), but only if I found the 4.5 ratios in it? Would I find them in that? Also, what ratios did the ke36 (is that the wagon that was based on ke30?)

count the teeth, divide the pinion into the ring gear
