i'm getting an s4 lsd to drop in my s4, currently equipped with an open diff. this should just drop in, am i correct? im not missing anything. just switch differentials, same housing and whatnot? thanks

 

n/a lsd-it will swap right in.

Turbo lsd-No, you need turbo axles, turbo driveshaft then a turbo trans, turbo flywheel, turbo starter.

 

yes, its n/a, thanks.

 

Not true. I swapped a TII spec diff in my na and ONLY swapped the diff. I just slotted my driveshaft and half shafts to account for the differences. Only put 10-20 miles on that setup and beat the **** out of it with all 100whp or whatever it is an na puts down but you dont need ALL THAT.

 

Did it bolt right in? Exactly.

 

 

i didn't know that ghetto rigging **** was acceptable as fact now on this forum. i guess times change and honda-tech becomes more acceptable as time goes on.. might just be me but i like my driveshaft centered on the diff yoke and tighetened properly. driveshafts flying off on the highway isn't fun, i know.. i've had more than a few ghetto rigged cars come into the shop, one for example the PO forgot to put bolts in the driveshaft on an FD and tighten down the 2 that he did put in. it is a pretty scary thing when it happens to you.

 

dude we need more DIY people on this forum.. soo freaking borring with people being **** about things.

My car turned 20 years old this month.. woop dee doo.. no car here is a ferrari. Parts are getting hard to find *well not as common as other cars*, do what you gotta do.

OP being NA and having a NA diff, swap straight in.

 

i'm not nearly as **** as it may appear but i can easily foresee someone with a driveshaft not mated properly and coming loose at freeway speeds.

that's not ****, thats ******* common sense!

mazdatrix sells modified driveshafts for about $250 to do the swap correctly with either a TII trans mated to a n/a diff or vice versa. anyone who wants to save a few bucks to take a dremel to their driveshaft flange is on their own in my opinion.
