Final drive for turbo track use (oe toyota 3.90?)

[mhiscott]

I have a 2013 FRS with 4.10 stock gears. I use the car for time attack/lapping/autox, and have ordered an OS Giken differential for it. I run out of gear on the back straight at my track, and was thinking about going with slightly taller gears to help alleviate the problem.

I see a lot of 8 inch toyota gears for Hiluxes and other truck models. What is the cross compatibility on the 8 inch ring and pinions for these cars? I suspect the is300 units are different from the truck units. Am I basically looking for any 27 spline 8 inch toyota unit?

Bottom line, what's the most cost effective way to source a 3.90 R&P which I can install with my new LSD when it arrives? Are there other vehicles which came with the ratio I'm looking for other than the is300? I suppose I should do some googling to confirm the tooth number on the gearset I'm looking for to ensure I'm ordering the correct part, if it ends up being a used Lexus take off or the like.

If anyone has done the same swap and could provide any tips it would be super

What is wrong with the is300 units? An is300 m85 diff with a 3.73 or the m98 with the 3.9 would seriously be your best option. Alternatively, you could get gearing from weir or another company that replaces your 4.10

It appears I should have searched first lol

An oem solution is what I'm looking for. I might be able to find one in a junk yard even.

I see how I worded my OP made it sound like I didn't want the is300 unit. That's not the case, just wanted to see if there were other options to widen the search net. In all likelihood an is300 r&p is what I'll end up with. It seems like the weir 86-92 supra r&ps are also compatible and avail in 3.91. The thread I posted above has folks suggesting that's an option.
