Longer Gears
My car is FI but I feel like the gears arent long enough. What option are there for me since I hit 148 pretty often and it starts slowing down drastically there. I will be doing e85 so power isnt gonna be a problem. And if right now I just have 330 hp how much will it affect the speed of the car for the time being not e85.

Grab yourself an M85 differential out of a 02-05 IS300.
3.73 FD as opposed to the stock FT86 being 4.10. EDIT: Not terribly hard to find, but they aren't plentiful. I bought mine for $575 shipped. It is a *direct* swap. You need to pull the IS300 axle shafts out, and the rest is straight bolt in. |

Agree with what slicktop is saying. Pulled my diff out of an IS300, but it was only $250 for mine. If you live in a big city (Houston for me), there are quite a few for sale if you call around.
M98 diff will work as well, but will have a 3.9 FD in it instead of the 3.73 tha the M85 has. |

You rang!!! I've done the 3.73 diff swap. For forced induction it's almost a must do. Makes highway pulls a much less frantic experience lol, less shifting and more speed per gear.

I paid $600 for mine. It's a whole differential unit so u just pop the axles, remove the driveshaft and take the 4 mount bolts out and replace it with the is300 one.

It's literally bolt in. The transfer case/pumpkin is the exact same unit with different gearing inside.
Google "frs differential" and google "m85 differential". They're the same *exact* transfer case. On the M85, you will see the axle stubs where the axles go in. Those litereally pull out and you install it. I had questions and @Dipstik-sportech helped me out because I couldn't believe it was literally drop in. It was. I don't know how else to put it. EDIT: Look at my build thread, I have some pics there. |
