Default Should I swap to a Auto Supra diff housing???

I have a 1st gen gs300 with a V160 6 speed. And I'm trying to figure out the best option for what i have available to me. Obviously i have the stock diff and pumpkin that came on the car. I also have a automatic(I think) mk4 supra diff and pumpkin.

The part number is 41110-14H06 .

Now which ever housing I end up using I will be buying os giken diff.

So I s there a clear cut winner on which housing to use?

Is the supra diff bigger or stronger?

Can I use the gs300 axles if I decide to use the supra diff?

Will it even physically bolt up without modification?

I'm not worried about the driveshaft flange.

Thanks in advance.

Auto Supra and GS diff is identical. Only difference is turbo auto came with LSD. So if you're gonna swap LSD anyway just keep your diff now.

If you are running the v160 id get the matching diff from the 6spd Supra. It will fit and is beefier than all the rest and your flanges will match up with aftermarket driveshafts if needed. I think if you go that route you'll need the matching axles which bolt in to the hubs.

Thanks for the info. I might end up doing that but for now I need to go with the auto supra diff that I have. Its brand spanking new in the toyota box. And I can't afford a new ring and pinion right now. Ive spent soooo much money on this build so far that I just need to get it running asap. I even bought a beater Accord just to get me around until this GS is finished. haha

I just hope the 3.76 ratio won't be revving the engine too high in 6th on the freeway.
