Great question! I heard stories that modifications were necessary for usage.

 

Mine is performing great. It's been sitting in my tranny, in my car, for 2 years now. The transmission and the car have yet to float away.

I need a damn wiring harness so I can drive this thing

Haha, that's the part you don't hear a lot of the times when someone talks about how long a junk part has lasted in their car. "i've had an obx in my car for 2 years now and it should make 800hp!" haha

 

Do they carry the obx LSD for the cable trannies??? I have a 1st gen b16 in a DA integra.

 

Those of you that use the OBX LSD please reply to the questions as follows:


1) Very satisfied!! They are really good. I've driven Quaife + OBX couldn't tell a difference.

2) Never had a problem making 400whp on a b16a

3) Def. OBX again.

Never had any axle removal problems. Mine came beveled both sides problem fixed I suppose.

Yea the OBX is Deff an exact copy Looks wise, But if there the same materials thats another thing, but i love my OBX so Far,and $300 sounded good to me instead on $950 or so 2 years ago

not quite.......when you have both of them side by side you can deffinatly tell the quality diffrence between the two.......they both work the same but there is deffinatly a diffrence.

What is the difference when placed side -by-side?

 

What fluid are you guys using with your lsds? Honda MTF?

I pulled mine out of the box, checked all the bolts were tight and the case was the same clearance all the way around, blew off the packing peanuts, had the bearings and gear pressed on and popped it in. No shimming, nothing. Working fine for me, I was in a rush. Maybe I'm lucky!

I'm using GM Synchromesh, yeah. Nothing special.

 

how hard is it to put it your tranny???

Ive done clutch jobs and pilot bearing jobs but ive never cracked a honda tranny open before.

is it as easy as replacing the clutch/flywheel or is it like taking **** apart and a royal pain in the ***???

THAT ONE. basically gotta take apart the insides of your tranny to a certain degree, as far as car stuff goes i would give it a "royal pain in the ***" rating.

damn i was hopin it wasnt like this. i had to replace an imput shaft bearing which failed me shortly later and fucked up my tranny. After that im pretty much afraid to open one. maybe ill find some beat *** tranny and pull it apart and give it a shot

Good to hear it is holding up for you T1. I was looking into the product but was not sure how good it would hold up for the #'s i want to make. Thanks for elucidating that it can hold up. </TD></TR></TABLE>

Umm, no, i don't run this. I run a Quaife and i always will. I've been using Quaife products for over 8 years and they've been great. I would never run the obx diff...

 

I was running the obx and sold it to my buddy, he runs it in his delsol. putting about 350whp through it and definatly alot of abuse. only issue i had with it was axles getting stuck in it and that was an easy fix. Not sure if the newer ones already have that problem solved. I run a quaife lsd in my car and to be honest it performs the same as the obx. Id rather spend the 400 instead of 1000 again thats for damn sure.

Many people are making 600+whp on the obx lsd's and they hold up to the abuse. Like the quaife or any other lsd if you dont know how to drive then you will blow up the obx or any other lsd. if you know how to launch yoru car aka preload then you will be fine

 

I really don't think there are that many people making 600hp on an obx lsd. And i don't care how you drive, the odds of breaking a quaife are VERY small. We ran them in Kenny's car making well over 800hp, on 28" tires, running mid 8's and didn't break them.

What problem did you have with a quaife that they would not warranty?

Nope, i've just been doing this long enough to learn that you get what you pay for, and that it's cheaper to do it right the first time...

 

Yea i love my obx so far i would never spend 1000 for a lsd, when this breaks if it does ill get another or by then the car will be track car and get a drag Spool

 

Ricers dont rock'm anymore, so they are cool jk

Is this an inplication that one is doing it wrong the first time if they go OBX and by going with the Quaife the build is done correct in relation to LSD's only? I know first hand that OBX has made alot of useless products. However, is it possible the LSD is junk also based on previous manufactured products?

 

can someone give a full explanation of how they rebuild their obx before they put it in?

Where do you get the torque specs from?
What fluid do they use?
Any bolts need replacing?
Loctite?
