    I can confirm this install video is pretty much identical with the process of installating it on IS250s. Only difference is that the crown gear bolts has retainers on the 250. You just hammer those down with a hammer & a pin punch. Then bend them back when you are done with the conversion kit install. Draw a line on the crown gear and above so you remember how it lines up (just in case it matters).
    No difference at all in comfort vs stock! Not yet drifted mine as I'm bedding in my new clutch & flywheel. But the car is riding smooth as butter, no annoying diff clunk or judder. Installation of the kit is easy with this video. The hard part is getting the axles out of the diff. I wrapped a nylon tow strap around the axles and yanked hard to pop them out. Any other method was impossible for me, a real pain. I guess it could work with a slide hammer + a cv axle removal claw screwed onto the slide hammer. The axles are held in by c-clips on the is250 and must go out completely straight. To ge the axles in you have to put grease under the c-clips so that they are centered when pushing the axles into the diff. To get them in i used a large flathead screwdriver and put it into the groove on the diff end of the axle. Then hammered with a medium sized sledgehammer onto the screwdriver. Buy new axle seals just in case, easy to damage them when taking the axles out. I recommend buying an axle seal puller to make it a lot easier getting those out. I used a BGS 117 from Amazon, worked very well. You also need a 12 mm hex bit, a 12mm 12-point box wrench and an extender for it to be able to get the rear three 12mm hex bolts off. They sit in a very tight space.

    Have there been tests on it yet? Because it looks like a good alternative to the torsen diff which is getting very expensive and rare. I might give it a try.

    • @RacingDiffs
      @RacingDiffs  2 роки тому +3

      We tested it on many different cars. And I can say that Lexus conversion is the best as the factory diff allows plates to be very large.

      I would like to see more Mercedes applications also.
      I have both BMW and Mercedes cars, but RacingDiffs seem to prefer BMW's more.
      I did get a kit for my Merc, but it didn't fit perfectly without one simple modification. If they had more info about Mercedes cars, they could easily make more Mercedes kits as well.
