So I followed the footsteps of the masters. I installed 3.76 differential from 94 auto supra TT. I think the 3.76 differential is very ideal for SC430. The car shifts just before the redline. 15% extra torque to the wheels is very noticeable. No wonder many GS owners love this mod.

If you guys are planning to do performance mods for your car, I would recommend getting this mod done first. It's not easy to find the part however. More reviews can be found here:

very nice. if i were doing performance mods i'd definitely check this out.

is this mod really that noticeable? worth the time and effort to find all the parts and install it?

i wish the GS sway bars fit out cars.. i want sway bars!

yup, supra LSD is the way to go.. this is one mod I wish I had on my 1sc. i could just imagine how much more potent the 4.3L is with this

Awesome! This is one mod always in the back of my mind. It may be the only other upgrade I end up doing...eventually... Question though, I've read a couple reviews about it. Is it harder to handle on corners? Too easy to spin the tires? I guess I should ask what width tires you have too.

I'm gonna let you decide if 15% extra torque is worth $1k. For me, it's better than getting high flow intake and mufflers which cost about the same but don't offer much. I've thought of getting headers, but they are not as reliable as this mod.


They spin the tires easy, but I'm on stock wheels at the moment. The LSD actually helps with fast cornering, but not when it's raining. I don't really drive that hard when it rains though.

Gotcha, thanks and congrats! Very nice mod., I guess the hardest part is finding the LSD

Yeah, but here's an alternative. There should be plenty of those and cheap.

Does it matter if you get the NA or TT or Single Turbo? Obviously it has to be an auto right? Any year better?? I wonder if the 92-97 Supra had any changes to the LSD? I saw some on eBay a while ago that were 3.91. Would that be even better?

Very interesting! Looks like a real easy install too! LOL

Ahhhh, nevermind I think I see the 3.91 was from the previous Gen MkIII Supra. I found this interesting site:

Someone said that you can get from Carson Toyota?? A new one??? Must be a fortune! I scrolled through their parts listing and didn't see it.

EDIT: found it!

YIKES!!!!!!!!

So this mod will increase torque by 15%? That's a huge increase and very noticeable but what's the down side? Less horse power? Usually, when torque is increases, HP decreases. No?

I really wanted to do this mod but according to a pro member on here, 2010s come with 3.76 from factory only without LSD :'(

It has to be Auto TT, 92-95 preferred. 3.91 diff would get you 20% more torque, but the risk of hitting the rev limiter is greater. This is why I think 3.76 is the most ideal.

HP remains the same, but expect 2-3 less MPG

HP remains the same, but expect 2-3 less MPG



15% of 300 lbs is 45 lbs of torque. I think that's worth 2-3 miles per gallon sacrafice or at least for now but if the gas prices go up any higher, it may not be worth it.

I have this mod the only downside with it is your topspeed will be limited to 140mph I need a 6 speed tranny lol
