Does nt 1.3 have a higher ratio diff centre then nt 1 ltr?

[303zuke]

Yes.

NT 1.3 is 3.909
1.0lt is 4.11

But they're not interchangable as both the ring and pinion set and also the whole housing are different sizes (1.0lt is smaller), but you can swap the complete axles (Drum to drum, or disc to disc).

Thanks mate! So if my 1 ltr is an 88 model and it has the wider tunnel etc, would It still be running the 1ltr axles? It's a late 88

[Gwagensteve]

Yes

Steve.

bit of confusion going on here. 88 is a nt 1.3 not a 1lt. it has a 1.3l engine. it willl have nt diffs with 3.9 1.3l size centers.
nt 1l has a higher ratio and are smaller but not interchangable with nt 1.3 or wt 1.3

[juzzys]

Nar it's an 88 sj410 1ltr.. I think it's the very last of the 1ltr

I know a fella that has a 1998 1.0 so a 88 is very possable

[zooky08]

i thought they only go to 87, sorry my bad.

most likely a maruti?

[juzzys]

Is there any way of checking the ratio's?

[zooky08]

jack the back up so wheels are off the ground. for 4.1 ratio is 4 turns of the drive shaft to one rotation of the wheel.

Yep, the only 1l that had 1.3l sized diff centres was the WT Maruti (mid 90s onwards).

All 1ls have a 4.11:1 diff ratios. The only way it would be different is if someone had fitted LJ50 (4.88:1), LJ80 (4.556:1) or Super Carry (5.12:1) diff gears, or swapped the 1l diffs out for 1.3l ones.

[juzzys]

Thanks fella's i'll do the old spin the shaft and check..

[2stroker]

Muzzy why are you asking, what are you chasing mate.

[juzzys]

I'm just looking at buying a set of 1.3 axles.. But the guy wants to sell them as a hole with the centres. And I always want to get the higher ratio for a better drive, as I'm running a 1.6..

buy WT sierra diffs, reset the spring perches to NT/1L possitions, and enjoy.

[juzzys]

Haha. Yeah I'm thinking of going down that path but I want to get a roadworthy first..

[2stroker]

If it is just to get it going I have a set of 1 litre axles here you can have.

(Then you can buy some wide track diffs off me latter ha ha)
