2 jz swap ?

[zach4564]

i am going to do the 2j swap on my 89, i want to know if i can use a MKIV diff in the MKIII if there is a way to fit it in there what axles would i need????? any advice would help thanks

and why do you want to use the mkiv diff? should bolt in just needing the right drive shaft but i might be wrong.....

well im going to have to get a custom drive shaft anyway with the 2j 6spd swap if i can put in the jza80 diff from what i understand it is stronger and i want lsd and the lower gears as i have 4.30 now

JZA80 diff would require a whole bunch of fabrications.

talk to jawsgear. He can get you a 3.54 ring and pinion for like $200. That will work well with the V160.

I honestly dont know how well it would bolt up. The only thing I could tell you to do would be to compare the parts and see. Perhaps you could figure something out.

ok thanks, does any body have pics of both or either of them so i can compare????

I dont even have a MKIV supra in town to look at.

Stronger? I seriously doubt you need stronger than the stock Toyota diff. Different gears if you're using the V160 but not stronger. I know most if not all of the high horsepower MkIIIs are still on the stock diff.

I've seen an MKIV next to an MKIII and the MKIV has a bolt eyes in the front and is wider in the back .. you would then need a custom drive shaft and custom CV's and some decent metal working skills and a welder .
