Open (or Torsen) 7" Differential Swap - *NEW QUESTION
Anyone in Texas have a rear end that won't look like hustler's busted *** sphincter when I turn up the boost?
I have a 6" 1.6L unit...and a backup...but don't want to find myself on the side of the road. My commute takes me through 75miles of little-traveled farmland, and I've seen Deliverance too many times.
I want a Torsen...but don't quite have the coin, so just need something that I don't have to worry about...and can put in a clutch type LSD later.
Thanks,
Damon

Make it a TorSen and you've got a deal. lol
I know I should get the open first, but then I know I won't see another deal like this (especially local) for the exact LSD and gearset I'm looking for.

Right now I'm looking at wine on a kool-aid budget though. I'll probably have to just get an open to stay on the road worry-free for now, and put in an LSD later.
I'm liking levnubbin's deals, especially after calling most of the jokes of Mazda junkyards we have here in Texas. Just gotta save up enough to PM him and pick my ratio.
PMing you anyhow miatanutz.

New question
I've worked out a (great) deal on a 3.90 LSD swap with levnubbin.
These are the Tochigi-Fuji Super LSDs which are occasionally known to break their cone-clutch tabs.
Anyone think this diff will have problems with 200-250whp?

The springs are a preload for the outer gears which are pushed into a conical clutch.
