i have some mods but nothing special. Just ACT organic, CAI, Skunk2 Manifold, Hondata Manifold Gasket, NGK spark wires and plugs. any point in getting the LSD and what kind of differnece would i get? thanks

 

if you do any serious competition (autocross or what not) i'd say it would be a great upgrade, just a little too pricey. if you're a big drag guy, LSD wont really do much for you. expect more in-turn acceleration performance (because you'll actually be able to accelerate under hard steering instead of just spinning inside tire).

 

its a daily driver. but i do take it to the track on weekends and have some fun with it in the canyons. so would it improve my et?

 

the LSD might not do much for drag racing, however, it'll help a lot if you track your car, if anything, do get a FD gear upgrade to shorter gear ratio, that'll help your acceleration,

 

theoretically, no it wont. open diff's will spin both tires on equal traction. since a drag strip is a controlled condition (for the most part) you have equal traction and should be spinning both. LSD's are designed for acceleration under turns. a drag racing diff is a full spool and those are a strait locked design, both wheels are spinning same speed regardless. that setup is ment for track cars only (mostly on crazy things like tube chassis stuff). if you think you want to get into autocross or any other type of circuit style racing, an LSD is valuable. if you just drive the car on the streets and drag on the weekends, you wont see your money's worth

 

kk thanks a lot. im just looking for another upgrade that will get my time a lil better. i was just thinkin cams and cam gears. i dont know im gunna look around a lil

 

Well, 3.504 has a couple points but saying that the open diff will evenly control the drive wheels is....well, not true One: drag strips are NOT "controlled environments." TWO: open diffs are OPEN and do not distribute power evenly but to any wheel that spins faster...in most cases however the left wheel gets most of the power. A LS diff (not to be confused with the LS trim integra ) will distribute power to within 15% (in most cases) to the drive wheels...Yes, this will help in ANY situation where traction is a problem...I include a vid for an example. As you will see in the video, power is first given to the wheel the has more slippage...i.e. Open diff and the second video is an LSD equipped ITR......And by the way, this is an NA vs. Turbo battle. NA in the far lane and Turbo in the near. Great win for the homie.... Turbos sucks...JK

a quaife would help you if u had traction issues at the track and had to run slicks. u could run stronger axles and no worry about the stock diff breaking.

 

The helical style LSD (Quaife and ITR) will help handling and traction significantly. Get the ITR unit as it is cheaper. Read my exchange with the Quaife representative in this post:
