Looking for a 3.45 gear LSD diff for my 98 Ti... Motor setup with be an lsx w/ a smaller turbo so I would like to keep the gearing a bit low to help load up the turbo. It should make 550-600 to the tire depending on where I set the boost so I would like something as strong as possible. I have read about the medium case e30 setups and those seem to be fairly strong so I would be open to an e30 diff and axles setup as well. The car will be a driver, rarely drag raced, but I would like to not break axles all the time like my rx7 did. Please let me know if you have anything. Thanks!

How much do you think I am looking at to get a diff like that together? For the sake of simplicity I would almost rather just buy something done and not have to mess with pulling the housing all apart.

That is more than my entire motor cost and it will make 600hp all day long Thanks for the link though, ill keep my eyes out and hopefully something cheap will come up. __________________ 98 318Ti - Future LSX Swap Candidate 88 RX7 Vert - LS1/T56 11.08@131-551hp/606tq - SOLD | | | 08-20-2010, 05:04 PM | #8 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2006 Location: 43609 Posts: 3,425 | I bought my 4.10lsd for 70shipped in 08 and my 3.25 for like 275 back in 07. There are deals out there, I see them all the time. You can also use the e36 m3 diff cover with the dual mount ears and weld in some tabs for it. Randy Forbes' kits do this and he's very local for me __________________ 1995 Hellrot Clubsport 318ti -Gone 1996 Schwartz II Sport 357ti - 5.7L V8 LS1/6 1997 Moregrun Metallic 318ti - Gone 1998 Schwartz II sport 318ti - M50TUB25/5 | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
