Wanted Rarest of the Rare Things Sierra 3.14 Diff
I know every man and his dog wants one of these, but if anybody has one they want to sell or any ideas where to try. I'd be eternally
greatful.
Happy Christmas to everyone
Andy

Good luck on your quest for a diff but miracles can happen especially at Christmas

A pint for the gent and a white wine/fruit based drink for the lady. Those are the rules

Since I'm only in the planning stages of a BEC (R1) build I've got a little question...is there any significant difference in the
acceleration between a 3.14 and a 3,54 ratio diff in 5th and 6th gear?

you could always get a landrover freelander diff which i think is 3.18:1 they are lighter too, and you can buy them new

No experience of the R1, but i changed from 3.62 to 3.14 with a ZX9, yes there is a difference in acceleration in all gears, but in the lower gears
you just seem to hold a gear longer, and in top gear on the motorway, when you boot it at 70 it still goes to the red line damn quick.
weird thing is, my drag times fell after the switch, more traction off the line i guess?
Andy i would consider a 3.38 to be well suited to a ZX9, probably easier to find and cheaper than a 3,14

2.3 desel should be a 3.38 ideal for blade or r1 etc

the early 2.3 diesels had a 3.14:1 diff. I know, because that's where mine came from.
