i just got my car back from the shop, i had a full b16a swap done...(it was an auto EK before). the car drives GREAT, pulls hard, but to humor myself how can i tell that its the JDM B16a which i paid for? also, how can i tell if my tranny has the LSD? in advance... thanks for your help, i will post pix soon, they did an AWESOME job with the engine bay, hid all the excess wiring.

 

engine code for the jdm is b16a, non-jdm have a number after that (b16a1, b16a2, b16a3)... check that

LSD: without the axles in, you can actually SEE if there's one, but with the axles in, lift the car up (both front wheels off the ground) and turn one wheel... the other should be moving the other way...
(crap, someone confirm... starting to doubt myself here)

I think the only real way to know for sure is to take the axles out and look through.

 

So if you move one wheel one way and the other spins the opposite you have LSD?

But yea your suppose to move the driver side i think. or it doesnt really matter.

 

Should be stamped LSD somewhere....

 

The motor wont have a vin plate at the bottom if its jdm
