I don't understand. There aren't any Torsen LSD's for FWD Honda's so reversing the rotation isn't an issue. If you mean the typical helical LSD I wouldn't suggest it. The gears inside are rotation specific. Might work, but know that you might destroy an otherwise good LSD.

That's been done before. You should be fine with it given the rear doesn't get power all the time and when it does its not much.

A couple of people have. Can probably find more info on d - series . org (without the spaces). Rather straight forward process.
