I don't have time at the moment to spend a whole day goose hunting and am hoping someone can throw some ideas at me.

I'm looking at possibilities for an LSD in a D series trans for snow and bad weather purposes only. This car should never see a racetrack, but it must survive at least 200k miles. The engine will be bone stock 100 hp max. Is there anything half affordable that may fit the bill for a light duty application?

Links, or ideas would be extremely helpful. Thanks

 

Look into Qualife LSD's..(I think that's how it's spelled), I;ve heard nothing but good things about them in the various Honda Applications i've seen them used.

 

MFactory is the cheapest and best quality. Quaife is the most expensive with slightly lower quality, and OBX should not even be considered.

 

I do not agree.

OBX all the way for the "on the cheap" route.

Mines been BEATEN with over 650WHP for a good while (I DID change out the Washers with higher quality ones however). They may be hit or miss, but with a propper breakdown and looksee, they are FINE... Theres enough info about it floating around to where Im not going to get into it here.



In addition we got a M-factory diff for Urban Indians Coupe and the diff had to be turned down to get the bearings to fit. Fact... He tried to get in touch with them... But we elected to just deal with it locally so we wouldnt have to have the car down any longer than need be.

Not to say thiat its an ongoing issue with their diffs, but it happened, everyone can have QA issues

 

MFactory has not had that problem with any other diffs. If he had contacted me (I sold him the LSD) he would have had another sent to him.

The problem with the OBX isn't just their poor parts quality and construction, but their runout and customer service once you find the runout problem.

 

Ya I didnt have runout on My OPX , so I cant speak on it first handedly. You've always been stand up man.... We just decided to fix it as he wanted it over with. Theres NO doubt in mind you would have taken care of him...

 

he asked for Affordable LSD options

and from what i hear obx is a great bang your for buck lsd.
kazz
phatom grip
or a stock lsd unit

 

Kaaz arent exactly cheap, and Id rather stick a wastegate spring between my spider gears than a PG

 

let see you put some waste gate spring together and try and sell it as a lsd product. fail.. they must be doing something "wrong" cause they been in bushiness for many many years ....

 

my obx lsd lots of air bubbles in the cast :S
i didnt even checked for runout when i saw this, i was so bummed that i installed it and called it a day,
its actualy working,

but i would never ever wever buy a obx diff again,

 

stay the hell away from OBX, mine failed on me after a week in the tranny, pulling it out now to see what happend

 

Hmmm I must be a lucky one then... And I know im not the only one... Are there better MFGed Otions? Definately... For 325 can you beat it??? In my experience no. Like I said Over 650 at the wheels to it beaten like yer moms...


works PEFECT.

Yup. I fail, or maybe you do??? At detecting sarcasm, or having an idea of what in the hell youre talking about princess.


Perfect.

 

OBX here.

Had mine for 1 year now. Used for mainly autox and tracking only. I did the field strip and replace the spring and bolt.

OBX = Cheap and affordable

 

ONLY reason they are still in business is CRE/OPM didn't push the patent issue.

John Brown dropped his lawsuit for slander against me when I presented the info to his lawyer at the deposition.

Kaaz #1611 is NLA, I'm trying to find a clutch set for mine that I just sold. Kaaz USA has not been helpful, I guess Ray is no longer there.

 

phantom grip y0!

haha- i had to, Bone!

on a serious note though, hehe, i did run one in a d-trans from like...i dunno, 99-02? no issues.

 

MFactory

 

MFactory is the best "value" when you compare quality and fitment. It may cost a little more than OBX but is well worth the extra expense.

 

I've raced and have both a Quaife and Kaaz. I like them both, have had no issues with either of them but they are expensive. I just wished that MFactory was around when I bought mine.

...and I'm not one to buy something cheaper with the hopes that mine is the one that doesn't have problems. The cost and time of rebuilding a tranny far exceeds any price savings.
