May be a dumb question but does it work? Can i simply buy a used turbo diff and stick it in a 88' SE? I dont want to weld the diff just yet cause fiance will be using the car as well and from what i understand it gets pretty dangerous when its wet if you dont know what your doing.

 

ull need a drive shaft an t2 axels also

 

Drill the plate the driveshaft bolts to on the diff.


You CAN slot your cv axles to fit the TII stubshafts as a temp solution but i recommend just going with t2 axles.

Pretty easy stuff. Good luck bro!

 

Thanks man.

So correct me if im wrong,
The pieces i need without slotting,
x. TII Diff
x. TII DriveShaft
x. TII Axles? all the way to the hubs? or just the small things that stickout?

 

Right now my S4 n/a has a t2 rear end/ half shafts. When i installed my n/a motor/trans/drive shaft i just had to slot the n/a driveshaft to mate to the T2 rear. Harder to explain then it is to do. I used a hacksaw and a dremel to do the job in 20min. Holding up fine for months now with some hard launches.

 

You just need/ what i did.

T2 diff
T2 axles.
keep your n/a shaft or get a custom shaft from mazdatrix.

If you want it 100% proper you will need

t2 diff
t2 axles
5 lug swap- do not need but why not while your at it
t2 driveshaft
t2 trans
t2 flywheel
t2 clutch
t2 clutch slave
t2 starter


I suggest doing what i did unless you seriously plan to go all T2 in the future.

 

felix will this also work for s5?

 

yup
