OK now I'm looking to get a lsd for my stock em1 tranny. I was looking at a few different setups and was hoping someone could shed some light on each for me thx.
Ok first off would be either of the aftermarket companies (ie Kaaz, Quaife, or Phantom Grip). However they are quite expensive. I was looking around ebay and saw a few ctr lsd's for sale. Can one of these lsd's be installed into my transmission? I'm asking this second part with the knowledge that some modification will be needed. Just wondering how complex it would be and what kind of shop should I look for should i decide to go this route? Also an approx pricing might help me decide as well? Thx

Quaiffe offers a lifetime warrenty on their LSD's which is good for piece of mind. The Quaiffe sells for about $850. From what I know, the CTR LSD should work on any B series transmission without a problem, but i'm not too sure. Don't go with the Phantom if you plan on making a lot of power with your engine. It is not as strong as a true LSD.

OK well then, i' already makin 275whp so should i just go with the quaiffe? And as far as installing the lsd, i don't think i could do it myself. So what kind of shop should i take it to?


Any one on the usage of the CTR LSD?

joe_bocc

275 whp! What do you have done to your car?

As far as I know, any performance shop should be able to install the LSD.

It's boost on the drag 3 kit tuned by import builders on hodata 2b.

Any takers on the CTR lsd? Input in greatly appreciated. Thx agian

CTR LSD will go to **** quick. Quaife is the way to go...

Ok so scrap the ctr lsd idea. Is the quaiffe noisey? I could have sworn that someone posted about installing one and then how it made a clunky noise?

noo many guys i know use Quaiffe... i think his situation was isolated.

I once bought a 98 Civic New and in a week the Third gear went out cause i was a factory defect that don't mean all the Civic have bad Trannies now.

I think they are pretty good.

had a friend with quaiffe
we didnt see any problems, or noise problems either
kick *** LSD

I've had my Quaiffe for years now with no problems. Yet, I can't compare it to Kaaz. Although I have heard that Kaaz needs more maintence i.e frequent tranny flush and clutch pack changes.

blu_si

what kind of maintainence does the qauife require?

acydphryck

the quaife does not require any maintenance at all. i know you cuz i was there when you tuned your ride...that's a sweet setup!!! congrats on the dyno #s...i have the FBP 2000Si...stock mostly (except for IHE). ImportBuilders can do the install for sure...call Jeff...he sells Quaife too!!! tell him acydphryck sent ya
