Even the dedicated models for Australia and Japan... almost none came with the 4.3 and most came with the normal 4.1 (or 3.9 if it was an auto tranny).
This is backed up by my collection of Mazda brochures from all over the world.

I've searched on LSD's and please correct me because I'm very unsure of the topic.
To use a TII LSD you have to have a TII housing...
To use a N/A LSD you have to have a N/A housing...
Now check this page out {http://rx7.com/store/rx7/fcdrivetrain_rearend.html}
My understanding is the LSD from this company raises the final drive gear ratio from 4.1 to 4.3 and they have one for either TII or N/A....correct?

To change gearing, you need a different ring and pinion.
