Im running a fully worked 1600 putting out approx 230 hp at the rear wheels, i blow a standed diff right out the back and also blow a standed diff with higher ratio gears right out the beck does anyone no a decent strong diff that will not take massive conversions
thanks tibeten

230hp have u been on a dyno or just pulling that figure out ya head ? whats done to the motor ? prob have to get a 4 point rear end using either a shortened falcon or hilux diff, no easy or straightfoward swaps available for stronger diffs sorry.

a cut down XC falcon diff will need gussets welded to the body to fit in the gemini after it has been cut and shut

you could get probably more power out of one but it depends what kind of money you throw at it...and go with elkys piazza diff

I reckon you would kill the Piazza diff pretty fast not worth the effort.

1: get ya hand off it
2:piaza wont be strong enuff
3: nothings easy coase gemins have the torque tube to hold the diff in the car. u will need like a custon 4 link. lookingat $2000 atleast.
4: if u can aford to build a engin like that im sure $2000 on a safe diff conversion isnt gonna bother u
5: diffs dont "blow out the back"

give them a call they do a 9 inch conversion kit

I have A g161 running about 210 rwhp usuing a 9 inch and ladder bar setup, works well

Piazza diff will not last been there done that save the money for a tough diff...

not sure I did not get mine through them, but the can do a package. housing axles and crossember, but their design uses only 1 ladderbar and a mounting welded to the floor, the setup I have uses 2 ladderbars and a removable crossmember.

give them a call
