Can the Pinion Flange from a Turbo Diff be Swapped Onto a Non-Turbo Diff
Hello,
Someone told me that I could use a Turbo driveshaft with my turbo tranny and N/A rear end if I swapped the Lip off of the Turbo diff. I am guessing they meant the Pinion Flange which is the part that the driveshaft connects to. Do any of you know if this is possible?
I am doing a TII swap and using the Auto driveshaft sucks because when I let off of the gas above 30MPH, the whole car vibrates. The U-joints are good, but I am thinking the problem is that the spline of the driveshaft is only getting an inch or so of teeth. Makes me very nervous.
I would rather get a Turbo rear-end, but there isn't one Rx7 in the entire province. So if this works I could just get a blown-up diff and driveshaft and be good to go.
Any help is appreciated.

there are a few diffrences between the two pinoin flanges, the n/a flange will fit on a turbo lsd i have done it seems to work fine-------but a t2 flange can not fit on to the n/a diff becuase the spline on the back side of the flange is too long------, you have to be very acurate when tightening the flange nut back becuse if you over torque is you will crush a washer in the diff and it will have to be rebuilt, i measured out everything on both diff and i will post them here when i get home,

In Sask?
Read the CDN section - tonnes of FC's around Regina area.
To answer your question - either use the Mazdatrix adaptor driveshaft (mates a TII trans to an N/A rear)
http://www.mazdatrix.com/getprice.asp?partnum=2691-799
OR
Have a custom shaft made and balanced by a machine shop using the front yoke from a TII drive shaft placed onto your N/A shaft with some length changes made.

calssicauto -- Yeah, I've been looking at the Mazdatrix, but was hoping not to have to spend $350 after exchange, duty, and shipping. I was going to do the second option, but the shops are booking for 4 weeks...was hoping not to wait that long. And yes, there are lots of FC's around Regina, just no broken turbo ones . I put up some WTB ads to get a used Turbo>N/A driveshaft so hopefully that will turn something up.
fast87t2 -- Thanks for the diagram...and dashing my hopes. Good homework though...just not what I was hoping to hear
