The factory LSD Trans uses diff splines, and the MR2 axle's don;t work with a Camry.
Hell, I personally have around 40 hours research right now into a bolt on BBK kit, 4 to 5x114 swap on the AE101. It takes time to get it all perfect.
Are you sure about that? I have MR2 axles on my Camry...
There is a difference between the LSD axles and the non-LSD axles, but I can tell you now that it's obvious that Tony is running a stock LSD. With 500ft/lbs, a lot of people recommend NOT to run the stock LSD. Even some aftermarket LSD's aren't recommended at that much power. Otherwise with an aftermarket LSD, he could have used the non-LSD axles. Also, with an MR2 axle carrier bearing, there shouldn't have been hardly any additional work to make this whole thing come together. But unless axle length was an issue on this engine, then ignore my info, but that is doubtful since I've seen some MR2's with this engine.
I also hope he upgraded his axle cages because he's going to destroy the CV joints at that much power guaranteed.
And if the LSD isn't a good one, he'll end up destroying it, if not, snap the axle shafts first.
This is why some people need not keep information "secret" on here because some people end up blowing a lot more money than necessary. That and it slows down progress for the modding community as far as Camry's goes. (Not an attack, I noticed A LOT of people do it to brag)
That's be sweet to see the BBK on the AE!
The other concern with LSD's in a E153 was the vehicle speed sensor. I wasn't able to find a clean answer as to whether the E153 VSS would work with aftermarket LSD like the Quaife or Kaaz. I read guys were stripping the sensor gears, etc... With the JDM MR2 tranamission, the Camry/Solara E153 VSS works and drives the speedo perfectly.
Tony, I didn't read your post until now, but to answer your question, YES, the VSS works on the Quaife LSD. That's the setup I have on my MR2.
There's a plastic ring (ring gear?) that goes on the LSD needs to be flipped over.
The issue people have been having is that the mechanical VSS does not work on an LSD setup; the Mechanical one is for non-LSD transmissions. As far as stripping them, I'm only read one or two cases of that, but I think those people were revving too high. The transmission has a 8000K rev limit basically.
:clap:
