I meant the only OTHER ration. Other than the stock 4.10.

As far as I know, there is only one Miata running around with this combination. I put the combo together and sold it to the guy in California that is using it in his 1UZFE powered Miata. That is the link I posted with the pictures. I see no reason that this combo will not work well in an LSx powered car.

Were these the hubs you used to properly fit the TurboII LSD?

If so, I heard there was some Machining involved of the surface between the uprights and the axles to allow the seals on the CV to fit properly into the uprights. How did you handle this, and whats involved in it? Thanks..Ohh and by the way, sick 1UZFE v8 Swap

 

The 1UZFE Miata is not mine. I just put the rear end together and he figured out what to do for hubs. I believe he started with stock TII hubs and machined them to fit the Miata rear wheel bearings.

Just bumping this back up for others, but Bill at miataroadster has the bolt-in option for these cars. I also wanted to let people know 3.73's are about perfect for these cars.

I'm just searching trying to confirm the FD, TII, and 929 driveshaft flange are all the same, and the adapter can be bought from grannyspeed.

 

A lot of miss-information in this thread. Not all LSX powered Miata's are traction limited & very few that are robustly & properly built use an RX7 rear anything or a torque tube for that matter.

OP probably has done something by now. Anyone looking into this can find info all over the net or just buy what the kit sellers are pushing. Most of it was developed by us pre-kit builders anyway.

 

Project GatTago:

Can you tell me if the 929 3.73 gears can work with the rx7 LSD in the diff housing? Thanks!

 

First off, the 929 3.73 gear set is almost impossible to find now. It was used in only a small number of cars and with the age of these vehicles, most of them have been scrapped. However, you may find some if you look hard...

To answer your question, the 929 3.73 gears have an 8" ring gear, just like TIIs. You can mix the 929 gears with a TII diff. You must use the 929 carrier because the 929 ring gear is short, unlike the long pinion gear of the TII carrier. The 929 carrier, will fit into a TII housing and thus can easily be bolted into a Miata.
