Just wondering about the differences between an 87 gxl diff and my 88 10th anni diff. They both lsd, yes? Can the gxl diff handle a turbo setup?
(I'm sure i could have found the answer on the forums or interweb but I need more posts to do stuff)

 

welcome to the board.

(and for the record, this is a sticky'd thread at the top of this page. you don't need a certain post count to read it.)

 

Yes, both are a clutch type LSD. However, the transmission, driveshaft, differential and half-shafts have different dimensions between the turbo and normally aspirated versions. With turbo components being stronger. You cannot mix stock components so it's somewhat of an all-or-nothing swap.

Depends on how you drive it. Some people have broken NA differentials with NA engines (<200whp) and some people are fine with decent turbo builds. Depends how much power you want to make and how you will use it.

 

ahhh I see, thanks for the info man. You awesome

 

If you do swap the na diff mazdatrix makes a custom driveshaft then you will need na axles. I used a na diff in my t2 swap and was fine but i never launched it so not sure how well it would hold up

 

sounds a little confusing..so here,think of it this way.
N/A Diff and axles,as a Set.
TII diff and axles as a set.
You can use a N.A Diff to a TII trans if you use a converted driveshaft.
You can use a TII Driveshaft with all the other Parts being TII.
You can hook a TII Trans to an N/A engine as long everything from the engine back is TII.(that means flywheel,counterweight,clutch,pressure plate,starter,clutch slave,transmission)

All i ment was is if you swap the full na rear end with a mazdatrix driveshaft it will work.

And on my personal car it held up fine to abuse but i never launched the car and he might run in to issues if he does take it to the drag strip and gets a hard and hooking launch it might not hold
