Evo3 mechanical centre into 3 bolt diff??

[croket]

Will the actual centre fit in the 3 bolt housing , im aware of the need to run 4 bolt axles just want to be sure the centre will fit

This probably won't be helpful, but I think I have something like this. The diff feels like a mechanical LSD to drive. A tiny amount of power and it locks up and I can feel the cars tail squirming around corners. The diff housing is the original open center one going by the sticker on the case. The axles have 3 bolt cups on the diff and 4 bolt ones on the wheel hubs.

It will fit right in. Any rear mech LSD centre up to Evo 8 will fit.

I thought bazeng put an EVO mech diff centre in his VR4 rear diff.

Lumpyvr4 could you please post a pic of your diff ? It sounds like you rvr cups in the diff if they are 3 bolt up there then 4 at the hubs , im thinking of making a hybrid shaft and if the rvr cup fits a mech E3 lsd that would be awesome as im having trouble finding vr4 4 bolt shafts

Ahhh just normal 4 bolt , im having trouble finding shaftgs to use for this centre. im hoping to use e3 cups and knuckles if the e3 knuckles fit the vr4 3 bolt shaft

And the worse thing is i had a complete open centre 4 bolt but i sold it to blackvr coz i needed the funds to buy another box

I have a 4 bolt (viscous) that I'd probably sell, but seeing as you live on the other side of the continent it's probably not the most cost effective option

i really only need the axles mo , if you would be keen to sell them let me know. i might be able to machine off the viscous part

 

[blackvr]

With a little bit of care, machining off the smaller spline of the viscous shaft and cutting a small groove for the circlip will just work ... just !

So 1mm cutting blade on the angle grinder then?

Seems like a bastard job to cut down hard to get viscous shafts to use in a open diff.

 

[blackvr]

Viscous diffs are useless any way .. Who wants them !! Yes, a 1mm cutting blade will work fine with some careful surgery

Not for use in open diff mate its a e3 mechanical im putting in my vr4

Ive found the front rhd shaft fits the diff , so im goin to have a front shaft welded to a rear shaft.

easy as that , 3 bolt rear shaft and rhd front together to make e3 vr4 shaft

I'm having issues finding a used single axle to steal the end tulip off, can you confirm that the front tulips fit into the evo mechanical LSD?
I've been having a look at the images of the cups, as well as on my car, and they look identical.

 

[croket]

The vr4 front cups fit the e3 centre but the tulips dont fit the axles from front to rear , i plan on having my rear axles machined down a bit and have the tulips welded to the axle

I have 2 spare sets of open 3 bolt 3.545 diffs n axles if you can stay 3 bolt and just swap them out if or when you snap 3 bolt axles. But selling complete, axles with diff.
Im in perth pm me if its useful to you.

 

[croket]

Im all good for axles mate got 2 sets of 3 bolt , but if u had a set of 4 bolt axles id be keen

 

[VR42LT]

4bolts are getting hard to get ive got 2 sets

 

[croket]

Ill give you my left nut for a set ??? **** it you can have both nuts if that seals the deal !!!!
