hey guys i have searched and could not find the answer to my question. i have installed an obx lsd into my ls tranny and it's in my ef hatch with the b18. when i have the car up on the lift both the wheels spin at the same time like they should. also, when its in the gravel and i hit the throttle, i can leave two ruts. however, when im out on the pavement and launch, there is only one tire mark and not two like i would expect. ive put in lsd's before and i did this one correctly. our other race car (vr6 jetta) has a peliquin lsd and it leaves two tire tracks on the pavement. is the obx lsd supposed to only spin one wheel and be spinning the other just not as fast? my car seems to hook alright but it concerns my that only one wheel SEEMS to be spinning. any help or advise will be greatly appreciated. thanks!

 

no one's had this problem??? bump

 

try posting this in the tech/misc forum

 

well the obx is a helical diff not a clutch/plate type, when you launch hard the weight transfers the the rear and since a helical diff does not work with out being loaded it isnt working (basically maybe the front tires dont have enough grip for the lsd to function properly)

 

that could be it. thanks! hopefully this weekend im going to go up to sunset to race and i will have some hoosier drag radials on and well see what happens. (also a 100 shot of nitrous!!!)

 

You're dreaming about the 100 shot of nitrous!! Try running on the motor your first time out. There's plenty of time to use the spray. And then 100hp won't be enough

 

well at least i have a running car!!! lol. you need to get the GTX running, dad! you are right though, i wont use it at first. actually im more worried about the rain right now.

 

I sure wish i had the gtx done. Someday Lord willing....
