What do you think of the Phantom Grip LSD and why? Did it inflict any damage of any sort?

 

its called the phantom grip bc u never know if its working should be good if ur not making over 400whp ive heard. quaife is more $ but lifetime garuntee and its proven to be the best...

 

dont get a phantom slip... i lost my ctr tranny cuz the pin shot out the diff... they are total garbage.... like the obx... either get a oem diff or a quaife... if your gonna make it a strictly track car run a spool....

 

i guess it has an appropriate name. lol

 

i know of one car that went 11.1 all motor w/a phantom grip

just make sure to get the diff saver

what makes you say the obx is garbage? mine has seen 2 years of abuse..1 year at 550 whp and 1 year at 750+ whp..

 

I had a Phantom Grip in my Comp. 4 car...it blew on my first pass ever down the 1/4!!!

As for the OBX, I've seen problems trying to get the axles to come back out. They have to be beat out, and if your not careful you can damage your tranny. Maybe that was with an older style OBX though, Im not sure.

...oh boy, stay away from that junk. You will thank yourself later.
go with a Quaife, its the best with a life time warrenty.

 

I have used OBX and Quaife with no problems.

 

If i remember right wasnt John Brown claiming to run the phantom grip in his profwd car in his stock gsr trans. Well atleast what he told me and few others but i called BS on that one

 

I used the Phanton Grip in a 2000 GSR transmission with no issues for a period of about 9-12 months while making multiple all motor passes and driving back and forth with the car. Then I changed to an ITR tranny so I would say that it worked fine for me while I had it installed.

 

I'm pretty sure the CFT Civic is running a phantom Grip. They make 750+hp.

 

qauife diff's feel like a spool on take off, and at the end of the track allow u to turn on tight tracks turn around with ease. i took 1 apart one time if you could ever break 1 i'd say you r the man

 

phantom grip Look at its design...can you say metal shavings?? We have fixed far too many transmissions with this part in them. I would always recommend a Quaife unit over a Phantom grip. If its too much $$...maybe you should look into R/C car racing It costs money to go fast and more to go faster!
Do it right the first time and you won't regret it! Just my two pennies

 

cft runs a quaife with a tilton clutch... they had the integra running a phantom grip for like 2 years with 500+whp.. but they also switched to quaife... i blew up 3 phantom grips @ 550whp... after i blew up the third phantom grip i used a freinds tranny with the obx diff... the obx held up for about 2 weeks @ 550whp (couldve blew due to improper installment).... now i make 606whp on boost alone... my oem diff has worked great since april... if i had the $$$ id go with a quaife though... but evry1 has an opinion on this.... personally i like oem or quaife for a street/track car... i had bad expierces with the obx but no doubt that the obx work... i made my 10 sec pump gas pass using it...

 

it does make a good brace to weld to in between the spider gears.

 

look on here or ebay and buy a used type r diff for $300 and yoiu will be much happier.

the PG didn'y cause your pin to let loose. that happens on all open diffs. not saying they are good but they didn't cause the pin to come out

 

Ok, thanks, that's all I needed to know. "If it werent for that horse I would not have spent that second year in college"
