Default Anyone have any info on the OPM motorsports Custom LSD conversion?

http://www.opmmotorsports.com/produc...civic_crx.html

Just look under "Drive Train". Supposidly they mod the stock LSD with a clutch type setup similar to Kaaz. Anyone have any experience or info on these?

Yet another option for me...

- ZC LSD. (Very rare, and expensive. Don't even know if it can handle 400hp)
- Qauife. (will only work with the un-equal length axles of the SI)
- Cusco ZC LSD (about $1175. Clutch type. Tony has told me he had a Cusco LSD break on him in their race car.)
- OPM diff (waiting to get info).

I need something that can take 400Hp, is relatively inexpensive, will use the 90-93 teg equal length axles.

Thanks!

At this point I'm pretty close to saying I'm lost....

I checked out the site, and it sounds like a phantom grip design to me

"The diff is then re-assembled and a spring block is pressed between the spider gears to put pressure on the side gears."

Go over to Honda-Acura.net or CarolinaHondas.com and ask 1stgenCRXer. He has one in his 85 CRX. Pretty sweet car.

The site doesn't allow me to access his email...
I don't really want to join the site, just to get his email...

could you perhaps PM it to me?

Thanks!

"clutch packs" also sounds like the slabs on metal they shove between the gears

For $175 more you can have a LSD with lifetime warranty.

Well thats the problem....

I CAN get the Quaife, but I will be forced to use the tiny un-equal length axles of the 88-91 SI.

I don't really want to run those with the power I'm after...

Yep...that's Bryson's dilemna. I think those stock 2nd gen CRX Si axles will surely break with that kind of power, LSD or not.

Ever consider aftermarket axles? Seems like the worthwhile alternative to me. Then you have both, a bulletproof LSD and axles to go with it. Spend the money now and save it in the end when you aren't replacing axles every other trip to the track. Not sure if anyone sells them for your application but it's just an idea. Good luck. Can't wait to see your dyno.

DSS makes axles for the 88-91 CRX Si. The Stage 3 axles are rated to hold 400 hp, but they cost $1000.

Ask it in the RR/Autocross forum, quite a few of them know of, or have used OPM for various items.
