Lsd
 

I m looking for a LSD for my 1993 Gsr.
What does it do? How much? And where can I find one?

If you don't know what LSD does stick with weed or shrums :yeah:

LSD = Limited Slip Differential

if you have a 93 GSR maybe a Type R tranny with the build in LSD?

LSD i think makes the wheels move at the same time rather then having one tire grip and the other spin..

makes for great 11s

quaife is a brand i remember making LSDs... they are pretty pricey..

not trying to flame you, but if you don't know what it does why do you want one?your best buy is going on something like howstuffworks.com and do alot of research...honda-tech...team-integra. Sites like that, that have alot of info.

The least expensive one that i know of is the phantom grip about $300 US.

And buy good tires first you may find you don't need an LSD

i saw an OBX one on ebay

would you trust something made by OBX?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but DAs are cable whilst DCs are hydro.

gotta agree here.

Why do you feel you need an LSD?

If you need one then you should know what it does or else you wouldn't know why you need it... right?

An LSD will transfer power to both front wheels (it should be equal power distribution to each wheel) as opposed to just the driverside front before the other front wheel grips.

It will reduce wheel hop and will definatley help out in handling as you will have instantanious power to both wheels as opposed to just one. Hence the name, Limited Slip Differential. It's also beneficial for poor weather conditions. If you need information on how a front wheel drive train works, check out www.wrx.ca. It's a scoobie site but there is a section on the site that explains all the drivetrains and how they work with pics and video.

An LSD will aid you in bringing down your 1/4 mile time and in autocross. You can also look at it as a safety feature as you should have much better grip in rain and snow due to the power distribution.

If they are so good for poor weather why don't all cars have them?

1. Cause an LSD is not necessary or essential for your vehicle being safe. It is an added/secondary feature, not the primary reason for having an LSD.

2. Cost = LSD's are not cheap to manufacture. Simple as that.

in response to "would you trust something made by OBX?" .....hell yes. the OBX lsd has been proven for almost a year now...in cars the make REAL power. whoever wants to go buy a $1200 Quaife can do so. i've read about the OBX supporting near 600who in an EK hatch. its 1/3 the price of an aftermarket lsd, and....did i mention that it now comes with a lifetime warranty? this is no different from the vtec cam war going on right now. BLOX copied S2 cam profiles from 1-3 and rebadged it. is the BLOX cam ----, because its an S2 bootleg? nope, because its made by the same overseas company that previously made S2 cams for years. what's the difference between the 2? the name of the new supplier, and the price. $675US vs. $400US. which one would you buy? everybody might aswell get used to this, because everything is getting bootlegged now, but it is a benefit to the consumer. same product with cheaper prices. the fashion world has done this for decades now.

An easier way to go is to buy an ITR tranny. Not sure what your intentions are with your car, but an ITR tranny just bolts right in if you run a hydro tranny and you can get good money for your GSR tranny if it's in good condition. Split the difference and you might be better off then buying an LSD and paying to have it installed. If you're planning on road racing or autocrossing the ITR tranny will give you stock reliability and really close ratios when mated to your GSR. The ITR is designe to shift at 9K and you'll never be revving that high so you'll hardly ever strain it. Just be prepared for lots of shifting when street driving and 4000rpm highway cruising. The upside is always shifting high in your powerband.
