You could take an axle out and look through the differential and see if it's LSD or not by seeing if you can see all the way through

Do a burnout and see if you leave 2 tire marks lol

or you could lift up the front end put it in first and spin one wheel. If the other one spins the different direction then yes you have lsd

Not all JDM engines have LSD. You could have a b18c sir which is like usdm gsr. And those lsd was optional.

ALWAYS been my fav


but, back in the day i had a turbo LSVTEC CRX that would lay two tires threw 2nd gear with just a std US spec A1 tranny. diff pin ended up being faulty and shooting threw the case. but it still was not an LSD tranny, and would leave 2 marks. wanna be forsure? look for the pin threw the axle holes...

i just did burn out 2day and it lay to burn marks, so does that mean my motor has lsd.. no mods on the engine besides a ebay intake, and a ebay exhaust aswell.... also i want to put it on a dyno to see what # it will put out... i never owned a b18c. my first car was a 2000 si.... thanks for the info

Just cause it lays down two patches dosent mean it has an LSD. My Prelude would peg-leg sometimes and sometimes not.

pull an axle and see if the bar is in the middle. a flat burn out tells you nothing since an open diff will spin both on an even surface.

Remove passenger side axle. Look through tranny hole. If there is a bar in the hole, its NOT an LSD.
