rx7 TII diff swap
I have a question,i am planning on doing a diff swap from a rx7 turbo,i already have the diff,the axels,the only thing i miss is the wheel hubs!
But can i use the whole rear system of the rx7 on the miata? lower arm,upper arm controls disk and every thing,will it be a direct bolt on swap??
Thank you very much

I would like to know why the hell you'd want to do that in the first place. The Miata suspension is, IIRC, better than the FC's. The diff is the only worthwhile part of what you have, I like mine. Swap the RX7 diff into the Miata carrier and you should be golden IIRC.

OP: First, do what 18psi says and spend a little more time thinking out your posts to fix spelling and readability issues. They're currently very hard to read and that won't help us help you.
2nd, save yourself the hassle and just buy a complete MIATA rear end and put that in, it is indeed much better. If your friend wants to give it to you, take it. Then sell it. Then buy the Miata stuff.

Why are you swapping to such a large carrier? If your staying turbo4, the 7 inch is enough. I'm not even convinced that the 7 inch would break with a V-8 inf ront of it...... Especially with 3.6 gears to lower the shock potential.

A poor mans alternative to the Torsen is a clutch type LSD from the '84-88 NA RX-7. They will also bolt into the later 1994+ Miata housing since they are the same diff type (the 1989-91 RX-7 LSD will also fit but it is a viscous type, the earlier RX-7's had smaller axle shafts and won't fit the halfshafts). The OEM RX-7 clutch type LSD does have replaceable friction plates and is rebuildable.

This my neighbor, Nursultan Tuleiakbay. He is pain in my ********. I get a window from a glass, he must get a window from a glass. I get a step, he must get a step. I get a clock-radio, he cannot afford. Great success! = Miata Turbo FAQ: Differential
