Default ??? jdm (electronic) KAAZ lsd ???

picked up an obd 1 jdm b16a w/ hydro tranny today.

it came with an aftermarket jdm stainless 4-2-1 header and a KAAZ lsd.

one thing has me confused...

there's a small black rectangular KAAZ electronic box that has three wires coming out of it, with a sensor mounted to the tranny fluid fill bolt hole.

what the hell is this thing? ...and what do i wire it to?

my guess is that it's an electromagnetic lock, as a friend suggested.

i'll bet the three wires are for power (red), ground (black), and a switch controll (white).

...but it's just a guess.

can anyone confirm this?

it'd be **** if so!

That sounds the most reasonable, but honestly you should email kaaz, and see what they say.

btw eg_type_r93, what does your avatar's type-r have a green underglow kit? heheehe

if it was a magnetic lock then the fluid would be exclusive to that design too.... a special mag-lock fluid right?

My best guess although I may be wrong, but I don't think so lol. It is a trans heater. Power, Ground and Signal are the wires.

Proximity Sensor.

Could be used to measure mph by using the gear teeth on the ring gear, just like a VSS.


Ask Greg, aka CHEETAH. He sold me my Kaaz.
