Mk3 Supra
Anyone know of any local shops that rebuild rearends, possibly thinking of having mine done.
Sully
i know a few up here.... but know of some members who do them too and would probably charge you much less than a shop would
Mk3 Supra
yeah, I'm thinking of having mine done, how much to do it?
Sully
idk.... me and a buddy are gonna do mine.... its not hard just something you want to KNOW what your doing before you start
Mk3 Supra
yeah, I usually leave that stuff to the pros, if you don't shim it right or whatnot, it'll blow out.
Sully
rear ends get blown out without a bad build...... not something to learn on without a knowledgable person by your side

open dif sucks my ass..... Eaton locker time!!!! When I juice it she squeals em.... I figure if im gonna push more power from the turbo than I do the N2O i need more traction. 275 is allot of rubber to spin, but 550 is allot more!

3.9L DOHC 4V.... rated at 255 to the crank from the factory....on a dyno put down about 309 with the 100 shot
Mk3 Supra
not bad at all, you been to the track with it? do you have alot of plans for it?
Sully
ummmm track times stock with 20's were 15.4

tuned it and never ran with full tune on, retarded the timing 4 degrees for nitrous and when it didnt spray I pulled a 15.2


when it did spray it backfired because I was stupid and sprayed WAY to low in the rpm range. No track numbers with the nitrous but others with the same shot but less work are running 13.2-13.6.


My plans are to build a 6spd TT Nitro LS out of it
Mk3 Supra
sweet, good luck.
Sully
thnx
LS6rally

+1 great work. One of the few people I would let touch my car.
Bad Max
yeah we'll take care of him, jesse how much is a used rear for the car ? build one on the floor then swap it out after. car would only be down a couple hours that way

I'm not sure, I got a quote from a company on the supra forum. its just the pumpkin, can't be to much, the guy told me it would be $586 if I sent him mine. the only junkyard that might have a pumpkin is the pick and pull in freetown they had a NA supra, those usually have 430 gears, if thats a LSD I'll take it.
Bad Max
if you're rebuilding it wouldn't you want new gears ? and try advanced in seekonk, used toyota parts if you want stop by we'll talk i'm always there late

know this guy kevin does sick work on ford 8.8 rear ends
im sure he can do urs
Mk3 Supra
Yeah, I'll either have BadMax do it or send it out
sciff5
Good thread. I'll more than likely need work done on my rear end. Although its never the diff that breaks its the ring gear the stub shafts or the mounting brackets.

Thats the price though of dealing with a manual tranny and drag radials
