T2 rear diff. question on FD
I have read on current posts about the strength of the Turbo2 diff on the FD, but seach doesn't exactly work with this consider T2 is too short for search. So could anyone hook me up with any info on which parts are needed and/or some links to threads concerning this info.
Thanks

you need a tII *87-88* differential
this is not the "chunk" per say, but the actually differential guts
they are a straightup swap with the FD differential, and you can use new bearings/spacers from an FD and it will require no shimming
meaning, you treat it just like your differential went bad in your rear end, only you swap the TII diff pack in with the FD spacers/bearings....you can't reuse the bearings/seals that you destroy essentially when you disassemble the rear end to get to the diff....so you have to use new ones

NYC's Loudest FD
You guys should ask my good buddy Boostn7 the details, he's done this swap numerous times, I'll try to give him the heads up on this thread, so maybe he can answer your questions.

I picked up my 87-88 TII diff from (Rich)Goodfellas and had my mechanic throw it in using everything else from the FD(bearings, ring and pinion, casing). Straight swap and you can feel the difference.

Did the 1st swap when my friend broke his FD diff many years ago. Decided to measure it when it was apart.....and since I had a spare T-II I tried it and it's been in there since then...over 5-6 years ago at least.
Just like "93BlachFD" mentioned.....treat it like you're simply replacing the guts using all the FD bearings and spacers....and drops right in. Just need to transfer FD ring and bearings(new) and slide it in.
My FD has seen at least 50 hard launches (ET streets and Nittos drags) this past year....Diff still holding well.
Good Luck

bringing this thread back since i'm doing the swap now............did u guys use the stock fd axles on this as well? i have all the "guts" swapped into the case, wanted to make sure before it goes back in

Is this a relatively easy project to do on your own? I have a brand new TII lsd and wouldnt mind saving some money (so I wont feel so bad buying the Rx7.com axles) if it is feasable.
