Torsen LSD Diff Install JZS171 Toyota Crown

[@clives681]

Call it Harry. Used to be standard Crown and welcome at Toyota dealerships in Japan. Now exiled overseas with a few mods, a gobby mouth and likes to party. Still has the Crown badge, but doesn’t do the same duties.

It's crazy how often you find yourself having to shave something down/make an odd custom spacer once you have a lathe. Makes you wonder how you ever lived without it.

well known thing with the bolts being wrong in aus jzx community, just use the 86/brz bolts from the car you got the diff from at the wrecker and bam bolts in no turning down required 🙃🙃🙃

With the front cradle bolts, if you use the 86/BRZ bolts they will fit and you won't need to lathe the bolts.

My favourite part about my torsen diff is how it kicks the arse end out like my 300hp car has 1000. Great for projecting you into the nearest pole.

[@jrbuch]

I too have a 1JZ with some turbo action going on, and enjoy weird Japanese cars. This is up my alley.

[@yeahnah6468]

7:50 actually needed to hear that. My diff has been leaking pretty badly ever since doing an quick axle swap at the track at night. I bet we missed that little spring not being seating correctly before installing the new axle. Thanks!

[@Average.1JZ.Enjoyer]

Found it interesting you dropped the rear of the subframe to access the 3 rear diff bolts, I was able to get them off doing the same job to my Crown in the driveway with a spanner and a bit set. Also for anyone playing along at home planning to do this swap, get the front diff bilts from the 86/BRZ, saves the headache of the Crown ones not fitting the new diff.

[@davidsawyer1599]

The OEMs have trouble selling wagons in some markets. This is a prime example of what should be offered. 570 plus hp and decent gas mileage if one can keep their foot out of it. The US had the Magnum and the Cadillac CTS sport. The Magnum was nice and roomy. Yet the front had a face only a Mother could love. The CTS Sport was smaller and not as utilitarian. Both suffered from poor gas mileage. OEMs take a long look at this car.

If Woody's Crown has a full chassis then the 4jj1 with matching gearbox and transfer case from a D-Max could be interesting along with a pair of of solid axles out of a suitable 4WD could be very interesting. Then he can get rid of that Pajero. 🙂

[@seanvucich]

As always, a great vid - LOVED the intro though lads.

[@GarageItYourself]

Torsen certainly seems like the better type of diff over clutch style LSD. I wonder how different it's lock up is compared to other types of LSD? I believe clutch types can be tuned to come into effect more aggressively if required but I'm still learning yet the constant gear mesh of the Torsen just seems like a more robust and linear LSD than others.

[@Rollin8.0]

It depends on your driving style really. If you love popping the clutch and smashing tyres a clutch type is the way to go. If you want a more progressive engagement for circuit work a torsen would be a better option.

[@GarageItYourself]

@@Rollin8.0 So for a road car and enjoying everyday corners then the torsen would be the better diff?

[@Rollin8.0]

@@GarageItYourself yeah for pretty much 95% of drivers they're more suitable
