Hi i was looking at an australian hotrodding site and i saw a few posts on using Toyota hilux diffs behind 308s and other v8s.
The claim is that they are as good as a 9inch and weigh no where as much as the 9inch.
I also like the advantage of bieng able to to get air lock kits from places like ARB so that you can have a locked diff at the flick of a switch.
Anyone out thier know of anyone using one of these diffs behind a decent motor ?
I know of a guy who has one behind a 10sec mazda rotary that wheelstands.
Anyone one else got any info?

I wouldnt believe that they are as tough as a Ford 9"
I own a Toyota Tarago (Bubble shape 90s model) same diff as the Hilux, and I spat two teeth of the crown wheel early this year. I might add that the replacement cost is equal to a 9" though. Still got

One of the problems with V8 conversions in Hiluxes is that they break diffs and gearboxes. The boxes are basically Supra boxes. There is a dude that makes stronger diff centres that easily handle a 308 though. The indestructible thing in a Hilux is the tr |

Hi Guys.
A Hi-Lux diff is a tough little unit, but it's no 9". They do break in stock street cars, but then again so do early 9". When people talk about 9", they usually mean the 4-pinion LSD unit fitted standard behind 351 Aussie Fords, these have tou |
If at first you don't succeed, just call it Version 1.0 |

So a 4 pinion Borg Warner as fitted to later Commodores with 31 spline billet axles would be a good light choice with LSD and a good number of ratios available? Would it be stronger than the Hilux diff? |

I'll go along with Dr Terry. There are lots of different styles of 9"diffs some stronger by a fair amount than others.
But even the weakest 9"would be stronger than a hilux diff.
The other thing to consider here though is what sort of car your planni

We have a Toyota Crown diff in our ratrod and have never had a problem then again we drive very sensibly never spinning the wheels, I would have to say its a great unit for our needs.

Patrol is better and stronger. Tallest ratio is 3.9:1 out of most Mavericks and some TI Patrols.

I think the weakest thing in a Hillux is the Diff, Ive had mine rebuilt twice in 350k ks.
The 1st time cost $ 700 and this second time $950 (with the Crown wheel being replaced).
It seems ok now.
Other than the Diff (for a 95mod) the thing hasnt Ev

Which Hilux diffs are we talking about here??
the early ones that look like a holden banjo can't be too stong, or why would people convert to Lancruiser diffs when they run 308 in Hilux?
Also, Hilux's are good wreckers, ALWAYS manage to sell the diffs |
Old holdens brought on the spot, quick decision, cash paid. |
