Default LSD for a 4.27 diff

does anyone make an LSD for our 4.27 diffs? 1995 sc300 auto to be specific

i have a welded diff right now which would work but id rather not run that even at the track (for safety purposes)

thanks

TRD will fit on your diff.

I am in the middle of piecing together a 4.27 Torsen diff right now.

The n/a Supra had a factory option for an LSD. You can find these whole pumpkins on Supraforums for ~$500 on occassion. But, these units are weak clutch-type diffs that have shown to be prone to failure when asked to translate big power to the wheels.

The aftermarket clutch-type diffs (TRD, Kaaz, etc) will work so long as they are for the 93-98 Supra, but not the 6spd. These performance clutch-type differentials require diff oil to be changed every 6k miles.

The Toyota Torsen diff that came factory in the Auto TT will swap 100% as well. This is what I am doing. These require no strange maintenance habits like the above mentioned diffs. Dozens of Supras running 10's with them. Although, these have failed in the more massive 2JZ builds.

The performance clutch-type diffs run ~$900. The Torsen units can be had for ~$500. Both of these will require differential surgery, so to speak. The only LSD pumpkin that will bolt up is the n/a Supra 4.27 LSD that will not handle gobs of power.
