Well if I can remember it's not all NA 89-90 RX7's the 4.30 with LSD was only in the GTUs not the GTU or any other NA model. If you got your hands on the whole differential just swap it, buying the ring & pinion is not that hard if you are mechanically inclined. I'll see if I can find a write up on this for you. Also Mazdatrix sells a 4.77 & 5.12 ring & pinion set if the car is not going to be street driven all that much & top speeds are of no concern. Would be great for drag racing.

Make sure it's a GTUs to get the 4.30 ratio.

As far as I remember yes only the GTUs not the GTU or any other model. I think all the rest are 4.10 ratio unless they were automatics & they have 3.90 ratio

3.90 ratio is working in the wrong direction if you are looking for acceleration. Higher the ratio the quicker the acceleration & lower top speed. The lower the ratio higher top speeds but slower acceleration. The 4.10 that you have is better then the 3.90 for acceleration & the 4.30, 4.77 & 5.12 ect are better over the 4.10's for acceleration.
