Limited
Slip
Differential
as told by www.drivetrain.com. thanks for kinda helping.The highly efficient torque transfer capability of the Auburn Gear limited-slip differential is achieved through the use of cone clutches coupled to beveled side gears. As torque is transmitted through the
in easier terms it means that when one wheel slips it transfers the power to the other wheel.. also you will notice alot less (if any) torque steer (when you launch your car doesnt pull to the side as much)
it makes both wheels spin....but i thought lsd's were mainly in RWD or AWD?
well first thing you want to look at is how much power do you plan on putting to the wheels? the stock lsd is a viscous lsd and will handle at most i would say 250-300whp. if you are planning on more than that i would get the tranny without the lsd and save money for a quaife lsd
well im buying the b16a2 and putting in cams, new rings, pistions, sleeves, valves, and port and polish. ill put in intake manifold and a t3 turbo kit onto it. not really sure how much ho ill be pushing. i want to boost it to abot 18psi at 6 grand.
a t3 will get the job done, but if you are like me (nuts) and have money to burn, then you need something bigger.... hmmm, me thinks a GT72 sounds about right.
civic31g, you can get the stock LSD, but as slammedciv96 said, its only good up to a certain HP point...after that you are gonna burn thru it like butter. it might be a better chioce to save, and get an aftermarket LSD, which will better serve the higher HP numebrs.
