90 GTU lsd
What options do i have about installing an lsd in my 90 gtu? Can i put the pumkin in from a gxl or gtus as a bolt in or is there fab involved?

the only S5 NA that had an LSD was the GTUs. best bet would be to find an S4 GXL one.

I've heard you can also take the LSD from a Miata.

double post:o:

yeah, you can, i'm sure someone will chime in about it... all i know is that u can ;)
|
were talking about the entire pumkin bolting in?

Well, the whole pumpkin from a Miata cant bolt in, but all the FC non turbo ones can.
For the Miata, you swap out the carrier and some. (Theres a post about it somewhere here) |

great thanks for the info what about the 4 piston brakes? will they swap over to the non 4 piston cars?
|
As long as it is a five lug, I belive.
Might want to search on it though. I know that some of the ?AE92? corolla guys want our breaks cuz they bolt on :D |
WOOT!!! I love my big brakes!

the 89-90gxl didn't they have an optional lsd?
What car is better to get the lsd from? gear ratios better? |
The "GTUs" has 4.3 ratio gears and a Viscus LSD. But those are hard to find.
All the other LSDs are 4.1 ratio, as far as I know. |

I have a brand new S4 lsd unit, when I install it in my 90 GTU, are there any seals or anything I should replace at the same time? And can someone explain some of the terms involved? Like is the pumpkin the whole case and everything, etc...

ya the pumkin is the unit that houses the ring and pinion gears as well as the lsd/spider gears. the pumkin has attachments for the driveshaft and axles.
|
If nothing is leaking and you arent pulling the differential apart, you most likely will not have to replace a seal.
If you pull out the half-shafts for some reason, then just replace the side seals that surrounded them. |
well I just have the lsd unit, I will have to open the case to pull out the open diff. and put the lsd in. still no seals to replace?

i would take it to a transmission shop you trust because if you mess up the ring and pinion when you set the backlash by shimming the gears back together. if you do it wrong you can kiss the lsd/ rear end good by.
