LSD / Diff Info

[DeeCee]

Due to the potential of getting a cheap st205 torsen diff, I've been looking at LSD/diff info around the net.

here is are my codes:

1990 GT4-A

Model: E-ST185H-BLMVZ
Engine: 3S-GTE
Frame no: ST185-0010xxx
Color/Trim: 040 FQ10
Trans/Axel: E150F - 734

From one of Gary's posts on alltrac.net, the 734 diff is not a torsen.

http://www.alltrac.net/phpBB2/viewtopic ... e&start=45 - 3/4 way down page with photo link to vin plate with 734 code on it..

then there is this info of Gary's as well:

BUT.. and here's the but.. with the GT4 Type A, according to Hyperrev Celica edition, the Type A came with a Torsen diff in the rear.

info also repeated here:

(chuck through a translate website)

767 is the torsen diff on the RC according to http://www.celica.dds.nl/en/celihist.htm

So really.. what diff do I have if its a 734 code?

The opportunity to buy this st205 torsen is going over the next couple of days, though its been around for months, but there is someone interested in it, and the fact that I have no money, I'd like to know what I have before I buy something that I may or may not need.

Any advice would be aprreciated

Cheers
Dave

According to my parts epc your ST185 will have the same rear diff as a ST205 GT4... if thats any help?

Yeah, I was looking at the EPC as well and all the parts seem to be the same.

I think once the subframe is out, I'll just have to crack the pumpkin open and have a look see.

From what i remember Dave, JDM GT4s came factory with the Torsen rear. Was only an option on export models, the ones badged Celica turbo 4WD etc.
