I recently had an Edelbrock turbo kit installed on my rex (7lbs)along with a d16z6 motor and a sohc LSD tranny. When I get on the gas(hard!) the car pulls from side to side and feels unstable. Is this normal for a turbo car or does it sound like my lsd is worn out.

Thanks much......

 

welcome to the world of torque steer

 

toe (out) or bad front lower control arm bushings are common reasons for this.

I hate it....

 

I have polyurethane bushings in my controll arms and I thought you only get torque steer from trannys without the lsd. Isn't the lsd supposed to eliminate torque steer?

Not as long as you have one CV axle longer than the other.

You really just need to get used to it.

I have equal length shafts. Must be time for an alognment

 

Not if you have a D series.

 

viscous or helical or what type of lsd? viscous may need a different type of gear oil

 

alignment check ur bushings....and it could be ur lsd

THe tranny is from a Japanese ZC which uses an intermediate shaft making the drive shafts "equal length".

 

my car does that too... it swerves in high rpm sometimes. its something thats fucked up on my car maybe suspension or alignment.

 

one is still slightly longer than the other. go check

 

I stand corrected. It has to be something related to your alignment then.

its a wanna-be equal length. still would have problems with shaft whip. H22s have the same thing. On an H22 Civic the shafts are fairly close in length. about 2 inches difference and the car has horrible torque steer. The only real equal length drive shaft equipped Honda that I know of is a B16 equipped Civic with the right tranny (want to say JDM YS1...B16 gods please correct me if I am wrong).

Get your alignment checked.
