There is a guy i know in terre haute that is getting a GSR engine, and he plans to put LSD. He said he's getting a phantom grip LSD. I looked it up on the net, but didn't think much of it. He said he is getting it for $950. In my mind i thought that was cheap, but then i started to think how much is the LSD in our cars cost? I would think it would cost more than 950 to get LSD. Then again i'm still learning.

any insite?

peace

 

Phantom grip lsd's are around $300. I think he might be referring the price with tranny and lsd..

 

Turbo: Sorry, yeah that price includes the tranny. Does the price of 950 seem right for the tranny/lsd then? You figure with that kind of a price that many other cars would install LSD.

thanks,

on the Phantom Grip "LSD". It is not a "real" LSD. All it does is give a pseudo LSD effect. It works by placing a lot of pressure on your differential gears, forcing them to bind...

This is a pic of the Phantom "LSD" an aquaintence of mine bought:


It consists of those two metal plates. On the inside there are 4 metal springs sandwiched.

It should cost $250-$270 retail

kaaz LSD's cost like AUS$2.5k... and they arn't as good as the Honda OEM ones which of cause cost alot more than a Kaaz LSD. Cause the Kaaz make alot of noise when turning!

That doesn't even look like an LSD, more of a bench tool! lol

 

I have oem TypeR lsd and I have around 500@wheel hp. I cut 1.6 60ft. Only thing I can recommend is qualife. I have learned from various past experiences , do it right the first time, u save money and time. GSR tranny should be around $700 and then qualife is another 900. I would get this setup if u are planning to boost alot. TypeR lsd is better than phantom grip. Get typer and gsr tranny if u don't want to spend that much money..

 

aklucsarits: then techincally it's NOT an LSD? I guess my question is, how does a limited slip diff work? For instance, a person with any old integra would NOT be able to say he/she has LSD if he were to buy this phantom grip "LSD", correct? That person would have to have a tranny that has LSD already part of it?

later

 

I heard from some racing guys that the Phantom Grip does next to nothing for people who do even a little lapping. If you want an LSD, get a real LSD. A Phantom grip is NOT an LSD.

They shouldn't even cost very much. Somewhere around 300$ like someone said here. Oh yeah, he did say it helped him in the snow somewhat...

 

Turbo: coo coo. It's definitely not for me. I'm just askin because i think this person is trying to come off as he's the shiznitz since he is gettign this "LSD". I'm just trying to get some info about it before i say anything.

thanks,

Heh, Phantom Grips are commonly reffered to as "Phantom Slips", 1, they don't grip for ****, and 2, they have a tendancy to break, sending your entire tranny to ****. and as for kaaz not being as good as OEM, untrue, Kaaz is actually a lot more agressive than the oem lsd...
