Gt86 diff in an ae86

[gh0st]

Hey everyone,

I have a question regarding diffs. Can a stock gt86 differential fit in an ae86?

Also is a stock zenki differential better than a kouki differential? Or are they literally the same?

Thanks!

No, and no.
The GT86 has an 8 inch diff (compared to the 86's 6.7 inch). Big size difference there.
The differentials are more or less the same. Kouki uses bigger shafts so the hole in the gears
might be different but nothing worth mentioning. The bigger shafts are a plus though.

Thanks, that clears things up.

I have another two questions.

1. Can you put a zenki lsd in a kouki ae86?

2. Does a factory ae86 lsd have a 2 way setting?

No and No.

To fit a zenki LSD in a kouki AE86, like Ivan said, you need different size the halfshafts as well. You can find the pictures of both sizes here:

OEM diff is 1.5 way and you can swap it for an aftermarket 2 way.

Thanks, that’s very helpful

What 2-way lsd would you recommend me?

[r.ave]

why would you like to go for a 2 way instead of a 1,5 way?

Most importantly, for what purpose are you building the car? Street, track, grip, drift... all important to know when choosing a new lsd.

2 way is for drift, 1,5 is for grip. I want drift!

Street, drift. But i’d also like to use it for recreational track use

Cusco has the MZ line where you can change the behaviour. I haven't checked if the make one for the Corolla but I guess they do. That's obviously just one of the many options but probably one of the more versatile ones.

With the Cusco RS line you can also do that. Mine is currently setup as 1.5 but you can easily change it to 2 way.

@Ghost, The oem lsd is 1.5 and plenty of people have drifted with that.
