Is there anyway that I can get an LSD with my stock D15A6 motor?

Thanks,

 

Quaife or Kaaz. Those are the two best options.

 

What are those? Do you have URLs for these?

 

you can get a ZC LSD tranny.

 

Here you go:

http://www.quaifeusa.com/

And the ZC tranny with LSD is an option as well.

 

Does anyone have these?
Which one is better?
Thanks....

 

not to be a pisser mate, but try to do a search, here and on the WORLD'S GREATEST SEARCH ENGINE
there is a sea of info on LSD units. more than kaaz or quaife, BTW
stan

 

I know MistaBone has the Kaaz and breaka_1_9 uses the quaife. You may want to IM those guys and get their thoughts on it. I have a ZC with LSD, it just isn't installed yet.

 

I prefer the Quaife. I prefer this for only one reason....been there when the car made too much power....one 2nd gear burnout....bye bye Kaaz. Installed Quaife and no problems since. I dunno though for low power, Kaaz may be suffice. But then you have to have some Kaaz juice.

Since I don't have the know how to do something like this what is the labor like on a project like this?

 

optauto.com sells them

 

It depends on if the tranny is out of the car. It takes me about 10 minutes to open the trans and get the diff out of the trans. Then you still have to get the speedo gear off of the old diff and have new bearings pressed on the LSD. Then you have to install the ring gear on the LSD. Install back in the casing....checking the shim clearance. So, I would say be preparred to pay for around 1-2hrs of labor.

 

Thats it 2 hours???

Doesn't sound to bad. Does anyone else have experience with this install??

 

2 hours if you know what your doing!
alot longer if you don't

 

Is that for real? You have posted over 92,000 times?!!

 

Definately true. For a first timer....plan on having your car down for alittle while....oh and buy a service manual.

 

never thaught about that, zc is d series.. I keep thinking its not since its considered jdm.

 

i have the quaife LSD and love it. i haven't had any problems yet, but i still haven't auto-xed with it yet.

just one other thing. i have heard that the kaaz is the stronger of the 2 diffs. that is opposite of what blown90hatch posted...

 

Here's something to think about, when your comming around a corner and your inside wheel lifts off the ground with a quaife it will stop spining and try to go the opposite way like a open diff, a kaaz wil keep spinning the same way.

 

So which way is better?

I plan on paying my mechanic to do this if I decide to get it done.

 

its better to have the front wheels always spinning in the direction you are traveling and in the same direction.

so the kaaz in this aspect is better.

 

ZC LSD's aren't very plentyful anymore, so I wouldn't count on just picking one up just like that. Also, since they are clutch type and 10 years old they aren't likely to be in such good shape anymore. I've got a ZC LSD that I've had since '99 and it's ability to claw through corners is considerably diminished. I'm pulling it apart this winter to start the search for new clutches....so if anyone know's who or where to get them, please let me know.

 

I am just stating from a drag racing launching experience. The Kaaz died and the Quaife has held.

Who on here can lift their front wheels off the ground in hard cornering.
Also, if you plan on drag racing, I would get the Kaaz up to a certain amount of power. Also, remember that you have to continually service the KAaz with their Juice.

 

I just want an LSD that is reliable. If i have to sacrifice a little performance for reliabilty then that is ok.

 

Well I have a Kaaz and from what i have seen, it requires more maint' than a quaife. but i love mine. If you dont like to get your hands dirty then I would prob go with the quaife.
