The diff has held up perfectly with 500rwhp and its done many drag sessions with slicks and Powercruise,..etc.But I'm looking to gain more off the line acceleration.I used to know, but I have since forgotten, which other diff gears from BA/BF's fit into my stock diff housing, or which diff centres I can put straight into my car, which have a ratio of around 3.23 or 3.72 or something close to that?Not really keen on putting in a True Trac or Kaaz centre as I'm pretty convinced the stock ones are strong enough and the LSD has worked perfectly every time for me so far.

But 1 and 2 in the six speed are low, so you are going to just turn the tyres to smoke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 5m 11d Posted 30/07/13 05:15 AM Share Posted 30/07/13 05:15 AM I have a zf auto and recently got a diff with 3, 73 ratio put in. Freaking huge difference. Car is so damn responsive. First is a bit short though. Wont make full boost. But then gives a massive kick into second. I love it. But id go with a 3.46 instead if I could. 5th tops out at 200. Ive always been too scared to fully load top gear. I cant afford it if the gearbox doesn't hold up. I run 15-17psi and 328rwkw but then 317 after the ratio change. My tuner said its to be expected though. I dont know why. Sent from my GT-I9305T using Tapatalk 4 Beta 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Turkey91 Member 57 Member For: 12y 5m 11d Posted 30/07/13 05:19 AM Share Posted 30/07/13 05:19 AM Sorry for double post. Just heads up. My diff came from a bf2 turbo manual. The diff hat didnt line up with my diff bush. But the hats were interchangeable. Also the pinion to tailshaft flange was different also. Also easily changeable with the standard diff.
