which LSD best for drifting
i have a 1987 TII would it be benifical to swap out lsds for something from another car like an s5 or a GTU????also is the stock t2 lsd prone to failing???
|
btw dont mind the spelling errors its been a long day
|
My guess would be clutch type. But then again i have NO REAL drift experience.. best to ask J-rat, hes "da man" as some would say.
*edit* no, the stock T2 lsd (viscious coupling) is not prone to failure. (so ive heard) |
S5 TIIs have the viscous coupling, S4s have clutch type. I don't know which would be better for drifting, but I just wanted to clear that up.
|
I believe that the clutch type would be alittle more predictable, thus better for drifting.
|
as far as ive read the clutch type is better because with the other, if the wheel comes off the ground the lsd effect stops.
|
go with the torsen!
|
The S4 clutch-type differential, with the friction modifier left out of the differential (just normal GL-4 gear oil, no LSD additive) will be the most effective. Noisy and rough for street use, but great for drifting.
|
S4 clutch type.
|
depends on your style of drifting really...
|
Stock clutch-type LSD die early.
Aftermarket? It's between Cusco and OS Giken... -Ted |
aftermarket i like ATS and OS Giken. and yeah, clutch type is the way to go.
2way nismo on my 240 ;) |

heh torsen is great. But for drift, I think the added flexibility of using a clutch type will come in handy so you can setup rates under accel/decel etc. |

I highly doubt your LSD is still functioning within spec by now. :( -Ted |
Aftermarket LSD would be the best but it costs $$$$.
S4 clutch type LSD works fine. torsen LSD won't last long for hard drifting. |
know where i can purchase a rebuild kit?

mazda sells the parts, then use some shim stock and shim it up tighter. its pretty much the same for all cars with clutch type lsd's so do a web search on lsd rebuilds and it will show you how to do it.
