The representative at Mazda Motorsports told me that if i want to find a LSD for my car, Miata has a better one stock (torsen) and can fit perfect on FC non-turbo. Can anyone confirm this?

If this is true, i will try to find one in the junkyard, but is wandering whether anyone heard about this.

Thanks

The Torsen equiped Miata's were pretty rare, you are looking for 94+ manual trans. cars that are either M edition models, some years PEP packages, or the racing models R package.

Now as far as them fitting... I don't know, but if anyone can find one and try it, please post!

Hmmm.......how rare is it?

Is there any "normal" LSD not "Torsen" LSD avaliable for Miata? If so, do they fit RX7 FC?

90-93 used a viscous diff.
94 - present use the torsional diff.
Just anything but a completely base model Miata has a limited slip diff.

For which model Miatas came with what see:

For interchangability between Miatas and RX-7s from the Miata standpoint, see:

the 93 and early miata's have a different diff it wont swap into anything except the 323 gtx. the 94-01 miata diff is the same design as the 84-92 na rx-7's. the only real difference is that the fc has a really long pinion gear, the gears would interchage otherwise.

84-92 NA 's LSD a torsen kind as the miata? representative in Mazda Motorsport told me that the one on the miata is better that used gear and clutch, where FC one is like a torque converter, uses liquid.

Yes, if you can get Torsen it is the best (but prove to be fragile w/ 400+hp) since Torsen transfers more power to the tire w/ most grip through its internal gears as opposed to viscous and clutch type limited slip which simply lock the diff. and distribute power evenly (though these are nice and predictable).

I use a Torsen in my Rx7 from Guru Motorsports here in Australia, it is sh__ hot!! Not made out of Cr__ material like most I have seen from other manufactures!

HI,

No I don't work for them, but I use there products in my car, sorry to rave about just the difference they have made to my times and performance have been outstanding!

I will shut up about them then. And I have not just spoken about diffs! Also dogboxes, but that won't help because I also use one of those from them!

Hey if you come across something great I have yelled about it, if that is a crime, sh__ sorry!

This is the class of racing I am involved with over here, have a look at the website, if you want to!

We are not allowed to run FC's or FD's in this class which is a real pain so only the older RX7's run!
