what do i need, egi to t11 diff swap

[redgti]

hi guys while there is a t11 breaking i would like to know what i need to get my rear diff swapped out of my egi for the lsd. Any help would be great as i will take all the stuff from the guy breaking his hopefully.
 
cheers james

I believe it is quite a job & requires the shaft to be altered in length & that your need the diff housing, both shafts that go from the diff to the hubs & the diff brace but not 100%

very few TII\'s had a LSD so be sure to check it is actually a LSD.  I thought the egi and TII diffs were in the same casing but not sure.

Totally agree with antnicuk as the LSD is as rare as you like in the TII. I seriously doubt it is unless you can get the proof.  Not sure on the housings, I thought they were the same. Its just the gearbox and prop shaft that are different underneath as the TII gearbox is longer.

Someone did tell me a way of telling a LSD apart from standard and something to do with turning one wheel and seeing which way the other turns (or doesn\'t) I expect someone can tell you how to tell.

I thought the t2 diffs were different to the egi\'s as you cant drop an fd diff in an egi but u can on a t2 lol.

This is what ive been led to believe.

[flatout]

egi and turbo11 diffs are completly different,

[antnicuk]

depending on what type of lsd it is, i had a stock lsd from an efini FC, if you turn 1 wheel the other should turn the same way if its lsd and if it turns the opposite way its an open diff.

So what would i need to swap a fd diff into my t2?

Are the crown wheels the same? or do i need the crown wheel from an fd aswell?

Allso what diffs are in the fd\'s?

[TiddlesRX7]

I think you just swap out the FC internals and pop the FD ones in by all accounts. Not that anything is that easy!

[Adam fc]

oh okay sounds simple but i know it wont be.Any ideas how good the diffs are in the fd\'s? im after one that will lock up as much as possible.

[pdtaylor18]

If they are good enough for the FD then good enough for the TII and anyway it will give you LSD for relatively small pennies.

[Adam fc]

Did the lsds in the fd\'s vary through out they\'re production or are they all of the same type?

[t2rew]

all fd are the same torsen lsd. i put an fd inards into my t2. you have to use the t2 crown and pinion. worked well. and guess what. i have a fd diff for sale.

[Adam fc]

How much would you want for the fd diff? What sort of condition is it in?

[t2rew]

i paid 100 quid for it but id take an offer as im clearing out the shed. its in exellent condition.
