"It has begun!" I am in the process of my spring turbo build for my 2000 Si with B16 (details on build below) and plan to purchase an LSD in the next couple weeks to add to my trans. I don't know much about LSD, but I do know that I don't want OBX, and I am particularly interested in Qauife.

I would like to know what you would recommend, and what is the best price? So far I found 3 sponsors on HT that are selling the Quaife for $895.

----------------------------------------

Motor:
The block and head are the original castings. The block was bored 20 over, decked, and cleaned. It has forged SRP pistons and rings. Forged Eagle rods. The crankshaft is stock, it was cleaned and polished. All bearings were replaced with clevite bearings. ARP main studs and head studs were installed. The head recieved a five angle valve job, cleaned, miced, and pressure tested. Ferrea intake and exhaust oversized valves. Set of stage 2 comp cams, Comp cams Valve springs, and titanium retainers. Cometic Head gasket. All new intake and exhaust guides. Type R oil pump. Pro series Skunk2 intake manifold. Felpro gasket kit. Pretty much the whole motor with all the work done to it (labor and parts) cost about $4000.00.

Quaife....when i'm finally able to afford and justify buying an LSD, i'm going straight for the best...idk why you would do anything else

 

Just buy the best you can afford. For me, it just happen to be an OBX LSD.

 

Quaife now = no problems later

Lifetime waranty even if used for racing

 

Well if you are set against OBX then Qauife it is.

 

Quaife hands down

True

 

Thanks guys!

Can I find a better price than $895 shipped here on HT??? C'mon sponsors chime in here and make me some better offers!!!

 

I would get a jdm lsd trany, just a few hundred bucks more. You would have a spare trany and don't have to deal with taken the trany apart. Just my $0.02

i've heard the maintenance on those LSD's are pretty intense. Also, i'm not sure of the technical terms, but the Quaife is a different style LSD than the stock JDM trannies. The thing that has me hooked is the warranty they offer...

 

I've had my quaife for almost 3 yrs now. When you mention torque steer to me, I am dumbfounded and don't know what it is..

Best part is you can lay 2 strips of rubber instead of 1 if you have enough power..

He's right. I was open dif back on 225whp and had a shitload of tq streer. Now with 350whp and a quaife I have none. You might notice some making 500+ but I just can't say enough good things about the whole quaife expereince.

I noticed on a new OBX it had loose parts or would rattle some when you picked it up. That plus the few negative threads on here made me pay the extra cash and only have to crack my tranny open once.
