Any D-Series Tranny's Come With LSD (what is LSD?)
Basically what the topic says. I'm looking for a new tranny for my D16z6 and i heard good things about LSD on boosted cars. Or i could be way off base but I'm wondering what would be the best Tranny for my D-series thanks guys.

I heard somewhere that the jdm D15 came with LSD, or it was opintional. Other then that i dont know. You could always install LSD.

go here if you want to learn what an LSD is, and what it does.

The "How stuff works" explaination is long winded, at lest to me.
Here you go two paragraghs.
"A Limited Slip Differential (LSD) is a modified or derived type of differential gear arrangement that allows for some difference in rotational velocity of the output shafts, but does not allow the difference in speed to increase beyond a preset amount. In a car or automobile, such limited slip differentials are sometimes used in place of a standard differential, where they convey certain dynamic advantages, at the expense of greater complexity.
The main advantage of an LSD is found by considering the case of a standard differential where one wheel has no contact with the ground at all. In such a case, the contacting wheel will remain stationary, and the non-contacting wheel will rotate at twice its intended velocity - the torque transmitted will be zero and the vehicle will remain stationary. In normal everyday use on typical roads, such a situation can usually be assumed to have a vanishingly small probability, and so a normal differential suffices. For more demanding use however, such as driving off-road, or for high performance vehicles, such a state of affairs is undesirable, and the LSD can be employed to deal with it. By limiting the velocity difference between a pair of driven wheels, useful torque can be transmitted as long as there is some friction available on at least one of the wheels."

Could that LSD fit into a D16 tranny?

Exactly. Do it right the first time and get a Quaife LSD.

You got a Quaife LSD on eBay for $450? I find that extremely hard to believe.
The guy that sold that must have really needed money.

look into the OBX lsd.....don't hate till you try it. 390 after shipping off ebay. Some guy on here runs 10's in his daily driver and has had the diff for over a year with no problems! Next thing I';m ordering for my hatch
