Default LSD?

Hey, i am doing a turbo GSR build, and am thinking about an lsd, i really dont need it, but figured why not if everythign outa the car anyways. So after searching i found out OBX is as no go, so whta can i get thats not crap, but not the most expensive lsd around?

what's wrong with an lsd for drag racing...i like traction personally
edit: but for better than obx, but not top line, i'd say keep your gsr tranny and get the lsd from a type r...it's better than obx, cheaper than quaife and is oem. I dont really like the type r tranny for daily drivers

If you don't want something that is EXTREMELY expensive than the ITR tranny is your only option. No matter what LSD you find, you're still going to have to have it installed, and no offense but, I'm pretty sure you wouldn't be able to figure out how to install it yourself. Anywho, haveing installed is really expenisve.

In conclusion, ITR is best for you application.

it's not that hard...use the difference on labor and the itr tranny to go towards tools and a helms manual. Rent tools if you have to.

Not necessarily. Depending on what kind of numbers his turbo B18C is putting out, the ITR might be a waste of money entirely. Everybody knows Honda LSDs don't hold up well under a lot of power.

If you really don't need it, don't get it unless you feel like spending your money for the hell of it. Because no matter which LSD or transmission you choose, you're most likely going to spend several hundred dollars. You said you don't need it, so just ask yourself the simple question, "Should I spend several-hundred dollars on something I don't need?"

Absolutely. While you're at it, do a RHD conversion and do CF mirrors and stuff.
