jamesrolla Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 hi has anyone got a descent diff conversion idea for my ke11 i don't want to pay a lot of money and the less cuttlingand welding the better, i was thinking of using an escort mk1 diff cheers james Quote
Felix Posted January 10, 2006 Report Posted January 10, 2006 why? spend your money on upgrading the power first. maybe work on your driving style..... if it is a jap style diff, later (jap) ke30 centers bolt in to change to a 6" ring gear. need to change the rear diff flange part of your driveshaft with a new uni joint.

rob1 Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 Stop doing burnouts!!!!! nah...........I always liked the idea of a ta22 diff, or should I say t series diff. Lsd centres are readily available for them and they are lighter than a hilux diff. This is what I want to put in my ke. Quote
Felix Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 (edited) if you are not breaking diffs, maybe consider taking a center to a diff reconditioner. get them to put in new bearings, adjust the backlash and relap the gears. don't do burnouts unless they are rollon's.... :harhar: a celica diff would be good and all, but it will need to be narrowed for a ke11, unless maybe you run FWD offset rims. then you will need to change the front stud pattern to match (no big deal with ke30 hubs), and add a set of spacers up front. the escort diffs aren't overly strong. a mate of mine broke a half dozen or so behind a stock 1600. then you will need to change the stud pattern (around $100 per axle) as the esky has a 108 PCD and your ke11 a 110 PCD. also the escort is all imperial, so you will need to fiddle with custom brake hoses and stuff.

muller Posted January 12, 2006 Report Posted January 12, 2006 the escort diffs aren't overly strong. a mate of mine broke a half dozen or so behind a stock 1600. then you will need to change the stud pattern (around $100 per axle) as the esky has a 108 PCD and your ke11 a 110 PCD. also the escort is all imperial, so you will need to fiddle with custom brake hoses and stuff. why would you bother with them then? weakish by the sound of it and alot of chopping and changing?!
