I'm pretty much sold on the tubo'd D series idea, Just one question. How bad is torque steer? I was originaly going to do a LS swap, and they have intermediate shafts were as the D's don't. I was wondering before I buy and build a D series motor.

 

i couldnt imagine it being any worse than any other honda.

 

watch my steering wheel thats how bad it is with no lsd..

403whp and 326ftlbs .. its scary at 100mph and the tires are still spinning.. tq steer means ur going fast have fun .. i have no powersteering also if you have it till be much nicer

Zc motors use an intermediate shaft which are d series motors.

A tendancy for a car to turn in a particular direction when power is applied. Torque steer is common in front-drive cars because reaction forces created in the half-shafts can generate uneven steering forces in the front tires.

Its more common with a d series because of the unequal axle.

 

Is there a way to help it? Would ZC axles fit my D16Z6 95 EX?

 

i got an obx lsd, tq steer is pretty gnarly if youre not paying attention.

dirty d, you got 400whp and no lsd?

 

in that vid there is no lsd

 

I get some good torque steer even w/ equal length axles.

Are you hooking 1 tire though. If you don't have lsd and one tire is spinning trying to get traction, that will put you to that side, that is not torque steer though.

Toqrue steer has nothing really to do with traction, its the way the car pulls off the line. 103hp std hatchback will have torque steer. It does not mean your going fast, or you have a lot of power.

 

I was just kinda worried about my car being crazy unpredictable when I punch it.
