Anybody rockin' an OBX LSD?

[99CivicSiBrian]

I know it's OBX, but it costs half as much! Anybody rock one and have anything to say about it?
Lemme know before I become guinea pig!
Thanks

Have you driven something that had one? Or by chance have you installed one?

its not worth it to go cheap on stuff like that pay the extra money for a better diff

Ive heard their not bad but never driven a car with one that had one installed..

I'm thinking about getting one when I "build" my transmission next summer because I'm not making a huge amount of power and will only really use it during autocross season...

If you have a D-series get an OBX. They are a great LSD. if you want proof I can find enough of it. Most of the D-series community swears by them.

I was waiting for you and Ryan to show up in this thread. Have Ryan vouch for OBX and the work of Bone. Last I checked Bone was up to like 25+ installs with no issues.

Nice dude.
I just put an LSD into this VW tranny at work. . . so I'm confident I can do it to a Honda. WORD.

Any tips on the drive gear? Swap it or get a different one?

[jason_guy_yeah]

Not meaning to thread jack but, can a obx lsd for a b18b tranny (???), fit in the cable tranny that's on the b18a?

 

[lsvtecEK4]

ive driven a 500whp hatch that had an obx lsd stuffed inside a b16/gsr/LS modded tranny. worked just fine, had about 5k miles on it now, still no issues

I am going to have him build a tranny for me as well. I just need to find one. I would suggest just building the tranny while you have it all apart, check all the bearings and seals and all of that good stuff.
