LSD.... Stupid Question...But....
Hey guys.... this maybe a real stupid question...but does our 3rd Gen cars have an LSD stock??? Or is this something we have to buy and attach aftermarket?? I know we have a rear differential....but is that the LSD???
Thanks guys... |
Yes it is an LSD. Most people upgrade for dragracing since ours don't seem to be up to the task of high rpm launches.

Thanks guys... FD's have a Thorsen type limited slip. This type has spider gears that transfer the power to both rear axles. As stated above, many whom drag race are forced to switch to a clutch type differential, as the stock thorsens will brake under high RPM launching. I broke 3 spider gears on a 5500 RPM launch on ET streets. The 87-88 Turbo II had clutch type LSDs that swap directly into FD rear ends and are perported to be a strong as the KAAZ aftermarket LSDs. I just installed one but have yet to test it out. |
hMMM.... Then why did mazda swaped the clutch type to Thorsen type??
Is there an advantage towards the thorsen type lsd's?? |

Is there an advantage towards the thorsen type lsd's?? that said, i broke 2 diffs, one on the street and one on the track (6.7-7k launch on etstreets = broken) and have sense installed a TII unit...I have yet to test it out at the track (or do any type of burnouts or anything sense) because i decided to change the setup of my car..again... |

Shut up you prick.... thats why there is a forum where you can ask right? By the way... I did do the search as well.

The Torsen is better for roadracing. The response is quicker and more linear, for better grip during cornering.
