    Default VL turbo Diff

    Hi all I currently have an n/a vl calais and looking to turbo in the future. Just wondering if I buy one of these 4 Pinion 28 spline LSD aka 'VL Turbo' Diff Centre - eBay V8, Performance Parts, Car Parts, Accessories, Cars, Bikes, Boats. (end time 18-Apr-10 17:46:48 AEST) and get a local mechanic/diff person to fit it would it possible? or would I have to buy a whole new vl turbo diff? And would it be alright to use a vl turbo diff on an n/a?

    Yup and bearings/seals etc I think but the Diff guy should be able to sort those out for you

    the diff centres are found in many other commodores, falcons, nissans etc running borgwarner diffs the diff housing and axel length may be different but the centre is certainly the same. You me find a cheaper centre out of a skyline or falcon.

    I suggest buying a complete diff over building one up from scratch even if you pay to rebuild it it would usually still work out cheaper. I paid around the $450 mark for my complete VL turbo LSD, spent $500 on rebuilding it including all machining & rebuilding the LSD centre, new brake parts, painting it in black 2pac & bushes. Mine didnt really need rebuilding when we got it appart but it was a little unknown so I took the opportuninty to give it a once over.

    cheers

    I actually have an N/A VL with a custom "VL Turbo Diff", I run the stock 25 spline axle's but it is a 4 pinion 28 spline Turbo LSD with modified side cones to suit.. Bought it from a guy on ebay, Didn't cost me an arm and a leg and saved me alot of ****ing around with changing axles..

    It also help up for quite a while with the abuse i was giving it, now it open wheels but im getting a spool anyway Haha

    Hope that helped?

People put mad subs in them, paint the dash inserts different colours (generally same as body colour) some with the engine cover and then think they own a show car? Need I go on?"
