limited slip..
i'm wondering... i'll use a b16 as an example... for a b16 i could get a tranny that is lsd or non lsd... my question is say i got a non lsd b16 tranny could an lsd be put into it?? cause i know there are companies that make lsd's but is there physically anything in a non lsd tranny restricting me from doing this??
trannies are the one thing in a car i do not understand :cry:

well you dont really need it and can really only feel the difference when cornering otherwise its not noticable. so unless you do autox or driving on an actual track it wouldnt be worth the upgrade for a daily driver especially if your lacking in power. do something better and get your intake manifold done and port match your throttle body.

umm ya the car is going to be used for solo2 as much as i can next season so it will be useful to have an lsd... the only reason i asked was cause lsd trannies seem to be a lot harder to find and more expensive.... so if i'm gonna end up paying more for an lsd i thought a nice after market one would be for one new and probably better then a stock one....

Quaife is only $800 USD, but installing any real LSD into a tranny requires re-shimming the case, which most ppl don't have the skill or the patience for. Not for the faint at heart, so if a desk covered in shims and gears doesn't scare you, you're the man for the job.

info on LSD:
http://hybrid2.honda-perf.org/tech/lsdinfo.html
there is an article here you should read: (Kaaz)
http://tech.hybridgarage.com/tech/lsd/index.html
or this one: (Quaife)
(I can't find it will look more later)

Kaaz is a clutch type, same with Cusco - these types require proper break-in and will wear out eventually. Quaife is race-proven over and over and will not wear out - plus Quaife guarantees them for life - it's a small investment really. I've heard of OEM LSDs blowing under spin-outs and other skid conditions - and that's an expensive repair to take on.

the one I saw showed all the gears out of the casing and would scare anyone that doesn't work with trannies every day

ok he I bet he codul never destroy a oem lsd I mean he isn't runing huge power and crazy track driving to destroy it(from what I gather he is a weekend warrior when he get's the time)...I bet most of the thsoe failures were hardcore racers out to demolish the lsd

well the main reason for an aftermarket one ie Quaife is that i can put it in and abuse it all i want and never have a problem... if i do i get a new one.... if an oem lsd gets busted on a itr or ctr tranny i just wasted a lot of money.... as very few shops will warrenty a tranny and if they do its 90 days or something ***** foot like that
another bonus to the lsd is that i can perform two wheel burn outs.... although i suppose that will just drag the rear wheel faster then with a single wheel burnout....
