eta diff question

[camip]

Is a 373 lsd too much in a eta I can't decide between that and 325lsd. How much mileage would be lost?

[Varinn]

You do not want the 3.73 for an eta, unless you like shifting more and going slower

[camip]

3.73 actually makes you go slower? How does that happen?

[coreyw]

Going slower as in it will make you slower because you're having to shift too often, and because your top speed will be much less. I have a 3.25 right now and I wouldn't go any higher. It revs at about 2500-2600 going 60-65mph, which is kinda high when the limiter is at like 4750 (I have a chip on mine to allow 5500).

[Varinn]

Im in the same boat. At highway speeds (my daily commute is 45km highway, each way), my eta sits at around 3k rpm with the 3.25, give or take a few hundred. This is at roughly 120-130kmh, sometimes i miss the 2.93. 3.73 would be unreal.

I have my eta with the turner chip do you guys think the 3.25 lsd is worth it.

When I had my Eta I loved it with a chip and 3.25 diff. Definitely don't go with anything shorter than that though!

How much was your gas mileage affected was it even noticeable?

[Varinn]

I went from 8L/100km (29.5MPG) highway to 11L/100km (21.38MPG)

This is going from a 2.93LSD to a 3.25LSD. Running MarkD chip on both

[camip]

That's quite a big difference, would you say the 3.25 is worth it?

[Varinn]

Absolutely, my mileage may be on the low side for other reasons as well. I'm not really too concerned about maintaining my motor/diff as they're coming out in favour of a b25/3.73 soon

[camip]

Ok thanks for the help I think I'm going to pick up a 3.25 soon. Would you say it's a night and day difference between the 2.93 and 3.25?

It's been quite a while but I think it still did 25+.

Yes, night and day indeed. Get a chip if you don't have one already.

[camip]

I got the chip now time to save and hunt for the lsd. Thanks a bunch.

Yah, it definitely accelerates quicker with the 3.25. My mileage stayed about the same, maybe because I tend to drive a little slower on the freeway now. I get about 24-27mpg with the Turner chip and 3.25.
