High Power Rear End/Diff What are you guys using?

[DriveBy]

As title says, what are you 300+ power owners using to get that torque to the tarmac?

I have a Lancer EX Turbo rear axle for my GE project with EVO 5-8 engine, R154 box but I’m pretty sure the EX diff won’t last long even if I do get unrated shafts made.

Any input welcome and appreciated

I've heard that the galant VR-4 centre are good......and have heard that the starion centres aren't too bad......but I've had no personal experience with either of them

Aren't the lancer EX centre , starion centre and possibly the vr4 centre all the same ?

EX-Lancer and Small JA-JB Starion Diff centers are the same size as the 10 bolt Jap diff and will bolt straight in.

The EVO centers (and possibly the VR4's as well) are a bit different.
The axle size is larger than an 8 bolt jap diff and BW, but smaller than the 10 bolt.
The actual diff centre is close to the Jap 8 bolt and may fit, with a lot of tinkering.

Cheers.

What about looking at something "outside the box" (pun not intended)

Getting a complete disc to disc rear-end from a smaller car.....say a base model impreza...what about an E30 BMW? (I'm not sure if these cars have IRS or not...more merely a suggestion)

I’ve seen someone use a HiLux LSD axle but older stuff like that is so damn rare here in the UK


I know the 4 bolt narrowbody starion is an option but still may not hold up to 400/400. Not looking to track it just don’t want to put my foot down and turn the back half of the car into shrapnel

Speak to Ur local diff specialist..... he may know of a regular build for Ur application

He may be able to guide you to a relevant car for a conversion
