Hey guys van you give me some suggestions for buying a diff for my 1200 project. It only needs to be able to cope with about 400hp out of a 13b rotor.
Just need something easy to work with and strong and cheap. Waslooking at vl turbo diffs but tthey are dear
It will be shortened and have a nee 4.11 centre put in later.
Anyone throw me some ideas?

400 HP @ 9000 rpm needs a diff only half as strong ad with 400 HP @ 4500 rpm. I think the stick ute diff is strong enough for high-rpm (low torque) 400 HP.


Or will you be making HP at a lower rpm e.g. a turbo motor?

So basically any manual Ute diff ay?
I should prolly go with a hilux diff then due to parts being so readily available.
Any year models better than others or are they all the same kettle of fish? Haha

And sorry forgot to reply to this.

I'm just going to be running a NA peripheral port 13b rotor with 51mm idas and a s5 5 speed.
Nothing crazy. Just sounds nice and is a bit of fun

Any 1200 ute diff can handle sustained 225 ft lbs of torque.

Stud patterns are crap on the standard diff. Shorten a pair of 5 x114.3 axles?

Nothing wrong with the stud pattern. S13 and skylines used it.

My issue is the wheels I want to run on her don't come in that stud pattern. I need a 5 stud

Hilux is 5 stud, just needs shortening

borgwarner 9 bolt lsd 4.11 ratio..

thats what i got don't cost much at all find them anyway to get shortened and then tailshaft shortened and rear uni changed cost me $1200

most expensive thing was the R32 disk setup and because i changed to billet axels lol
