hello everyone. i am building my h22a in my crx and before i took the engine out i had an open diff and i didnt have traction 1st thru middle of 3rd, i did take my trans apart and i did weld up my diff. my question is has anyone gone from an open diff to a welded diff and what was the improvement like? im not asking how not to drive on the streets and bla bla bla thanks in advance!

 

ive thought about doing that in my old sedan but never did let us know how it handles tho

 

I've heard turning is weird but let us know how it feels or a video might help

 

if it's for a track car, ask the rr/autox forum. someone was asking about running a spool for road racing one time, not sure if they did it or not.

 

are you using this for drag or road racing? just remember if an axle breaks the car is going to take a hard turn.

 

A very hard turn. Like "Oh ****!" or more.

Wears out tires, handles worse than an LSD. It's the ghetto-ist you can do. And I don't want the weld breaking up sending bits of **** into the transmission I just rebuilt.

Get an LSD

 

I have a welded diff in my dc2 road car, it was great for handling better than a lsd and launches but it would lock the 2 front wheels up solid if you let off the gas in a corner,

 

it will turn just like a 1.5 way cusco, they knock and bang also

 

sweet ill let everyone know how it works out. and yes mainly drag racing but i would like to be able to drive it to the strip without snapping an axle before i get there. im not going to get an lsd unless someone has one layin around they dont want ha

 

have fun when you snap an axle.

 

A welded diff will not handle better than an LSD.

A welded diff or LSD usually won't improve your times at the strip if the car is setup properly with a decent driver, LSD is mainly a reliability mod.
