Limited Slip Differential AKA LSD

[usedep3]

same with wavetrac. wave trac has a lifetime warranty as well. i accepted the axle issue for growing pains. it was when they first introduced the LSD to the k series trannys. they're apparently all fixed now. slighty cheaper than quaife. plus they offer custom ratios at no extra charge

Im actually looking into getting the mfactory lsd, it has a pretty good price and the people that use it on k20a.org havent had any complaints.

iirc, isnt that a clutch type LSD. if so i believe that'll require maintainence, unlike the gear type lsd like wavetrac and quaife

[bchaney]

what did that cost you for the lsd?

I got the LSD for 425 shipped and it was barely used. They can be had for 400 on k20a.org but they don't pop up too often and go pretty quick. If you're not in a rush just check the classifieds daily.

Im looking a getting one of them..... Do you have one???

I've had the Quaife in my car now for over 6 years and ZERO issues. I track the car semi-regularly with a built and blown K24 and Never a hitch out of the diff. I've replaced a couple of synchros, and swapped final drives a couple of times and the Quaife just keeps rockin along. Granted that it isn't cheap, but it comes with an unconditional lifetime warranty.

this is exactly what i wanna hear!
So far Quaife is in the league.
I'd still settle for something cheaper.
If i can find that oem lsd for $400 im so down!
I really wanna know how the OBX LSD performs on the K
I know lots of people who swear by it on their B & D series.

yes, i dooooooo. it was worth every penny and all the heartache. make sure you do a lil research so that you can take advantage of the custom ratios. i just took their standard setup. i got mine from a vendor on the boards.

After checking out how rough the OBX housings look, I think I'd get an OEM or spring the extra dough for a Quaife! That's just poor machining.

They must run their bits 'til they break...

That Wave Trac looks Amazing... I think I might need to get on that ASAP

Im Running an A2 Trans and I love it Acceleration is def a big improvement over stock...

I'll be in the market for an LSD eventually but the 6 speed was worth the head aches

a2 trans into your ep3 with k20a3? how hard was the swap?

yeah i think gtimportfanatic posted up an ebay thing about it. i wouldn't spring for it. i'd rather have an OBX lsd over that.

the obx unit gave me a reason to get a dremel. been wanting one for various reasons. and the work isnt all that hard. the cuts are straight, just not finished.
but if you dont want the obx unit, just go oem. cant go wrong.

[RedSiBaron]

that phantom grip setup actually works, but its only good for dedicated time attack, drift, gymkhana cars, where you arent putting the mileage on the trans and can tear the trans out end of every season to replace it...
