MkIII rear end ?'s

[Rizzle]

No good pictures, theres nothing cool done yet. The 2door frames been lengthened, stripped of anything not being used, and the engines assembled with custom mounts mocked up. I'm making sure I got driveline/chassis #'s dialed before I go looking for all my parts.

No insults to you I6 runners, the v6 ref was for the toyota pickup gears, since there's 4cyl pinions/carriers with smaller bearings, and the v6/turbo4 pinion/carrier bearings are bigger. One way swappable only.
A topic on supraforums indicates the crush sleeve eliminator is the same, and the the supra carrier fits the trucks with some adjustment, so it SHOULD swap gears. However, there are 4.10 supra gears so I'm not stuck if they don't.

No drive to chicago yet, sorry. Google says 9 hours, And I've barely started looking here, wanted to know everything is going to work width/gearing wise. You wouldn't happen to be able the measure the wheel mounting width would you?

The 4.10:1 was the torsen diff... It was only available on the JZA70 model (possibly the GA70 as well) and only an option at that. It does not do well in high torque applications though... It is VERY unpopular in the Supra community as far as mid to high end builders are concerned.

I believe Kaaz made a unit which was compatible with the carrier which was supposed to hold up better but I don't think it was great either... All of this is rather sad as I really prefer torsen for street driven vehicles.

With regard to what options are available I'd try emailing or calling the people at MarlinCrawler.com.

Honestly, given that you're already digging in for a custom setup there are a number of options from other manufacturers I'd look at versus keeping the MKIII's rear end. (I'm sure you've already got this in mind though.)

Thanks for the great info! Which other setups would you suggest I look into?
