Diferences between s4 turbo diff and s5 turbo diff?

I

I have a s5 rx7 turbo with the viscous lds, and I have a car for parts, a s4 turbo rx7 with (I think) the oem mechanical (clutch) lsd.
I'm thinking in put the s4 lsd on s5 diff housing... is possible? Did I have to do any big transformation on the s5 diff housing?
or can I put the complete s4 diff on my s5 car?

regards

you could take out the half-shafts on each side, then knock out the output flanges/shaft. but then you'd be doing more work then to just swapp diffs.

Fairly high... but the clutch types are quick reacting. but you may want to check it out and see if it needs rebuilding as they tend to wear out faster..
