Today we swap a Ford 8.8 differential into the Rx7 Subframe! We used the 8.8 swap kit from Ronin Speedworks, and a 8.8 out of a 2005 Ford Explorer with 3.55 gear ratio.

Really happy you guys decided to paint all that, most guys would have slapped it right back under the car. This cars going to be the cleanest rx7 in the world. Your gonna have a lot of people that want you to build their cars when this is done.

Nice, I did this same upgrade in my 20b FD and now swapping it to a RB26. I actually used a Eaton Electric Locking Diff and put it into a 8.8 out of a Ford Explorer with 4.11 gear set. Then I bought DriveShaft Shop Pro Axels, cut and rewelded the subframe with upgraded mounts. You will be happy with this upgrade. I would also put adjustable link and toe arms on too...I did!

@1truzilla458 3 года назад

Did you know that the Explorer diff housing is 4X stronger than the one from the Terminator Mustang. Crazy right!

@slightlyMADcustoms 3 года назад

Very nice! We’ll look into it! Thanks for the wisdom!

What is the width of the correct 8.8 rear end that will fit in an FD? I have one to snag up but the owner doesn’t know what car it came out of. It’s 56.5 inches wide

@@natmye2327 Honestly brotha, I made this comment 2 years ago. I parked the car and it's been sitting in the same spot since then. Been busy with other life events. If you would have asked me back then, I would have had an answer for you. I would love to give you an answer, but I just can't.

I hope the viewers here notice that every time you guys do a B-roll your build just gets slower which means one person is recording while only one gets to do actual work. Hats off to you guys please stay motivated, if you ever move to Ontario or come over to this side to visit hope I get to meet you both. I subscribed to you guys with all my channels lol. ✌

Ya 8.8 is a logical place to go if your diff isn’t holding up. Hard to say with 100% certainty that it’ll survive that abuse, but I couldn’t see any reason why it would be worse than your S13 diff.
