course spline = 10 fine spline = 21 i believe.

lsd and open centres are the same, whether course or fine.

Hi Guys.

Fine spline Banjo axles are 23 spline not 21. Coarse are 10.

wel as u guys might know i already have a thread about a borg warner into the lc but i am learning as much as i can bout diffs and lookin at other options cause i would like to get a detroit locker and they are too expensive for a bw and a nine inch seems too much for a 6 but on another note atleast i would never need another diff even if i wanna put an 8 in, mayb a hilux diff i would luv to hear wot others have done to there tori's, wot diff, how much and were the work was done

a street car with mild six for the occasional burnout comp, drags etc, but plans for more hp including boost, so it needs to be able to withstand the occasional torture and be strong enough to handle a wild six in the future

my mechanic kepps trying to convince me i should get a diff out of a centura, he reckons those things were really strong and apperantly they are exactly the right width for a HR so they would be close, i think to the right width for a LX. ive been seriously thinking about using a diff out of a VL, i thought i read some where that they were just a fraction too long for hatchs, so mine line of thinking is that if i got the mounts moved on the diff and got the stud pattern changed to torana and got rims with a different off set shouldnt that work? could some one tell me yes or no




p.s. sorry mr lc for stealing this thread

thats cool i am lookin at all avenues at the moment, i think the race xu1 use centura axels and detroit lockers, but apparentely if the axles break they break at the stud and not the splines, i also read someone changing to sigma axles in ther xu1 ?? i think your idea shud work, it jus depends how much longer we are talkin

there are mini spools available for the large 10 bolt as you know, but you need a limited slip case for them, which are getting quiet rare. there are no detroit lockers for them. you can get full spools for them through romac, but are quiet pricey.

Humm intresting point ^^^^^ about the minni spool needing the lsd hat!

a friend as been playing around cut axels and welding them up
to any length you want, manly for speedway/drag car diffs , as its not legal for you to cut and weld axels for steet use .before the 10 bolt went in his race lj we tested a banjo diff as we couldnt find lj lc axels "run out " we had to cut hq ones down
this is how he dose it

first the axels are machined down so there true, then he parts it about harlf way down , then after cuting it to length the end is machined down a hole borred in the other end and dowled back together very tight fit with beveled edges its then tig welded up and machined back , then a coller is fitted over the weld , about 5mm thick 8cm long this must still let the wheel bearing fit over it .

It snaped the ends of the axels at the splind ? so the cuting / welding WAS STRONGER.,, now his cut down a 10 bolt no worries 28 spline never has had a prob . pulled the axels out after 6 month of racing and removed the coller no cracks were found! the collers arnt welded on, just heat fitted on there for safty
hole diff coversion for under $500 with u suplying the diff or $125 ech axel
cheers
