Hello everyone:

I am looking forward to find an LSD for my 98 GSR B18c.
It seems like I have no options with these crazy prices..

I saw an offer of OBX LSD on ebay priced at about $350 USD.

Does anyone have an idea if its worth the money?


Description:

For sale is a new OBX Helical limited slip differential.
The helical limited slip differential is a torque sensing LSD that features smoothing operation and superior responsiveness.
The unit does not require special oil like the clutch type limited slip differentials.
Part # LSD9000
This is a perfect upgrade for street and race use!

Fitment:
90-93 Integra RS/LS/GS/GSR (DA6)
94 - 2001 Integra RS/LS/GS (DC2)
Utilizes / Specs:
Weight: 11 pounds

It seems like other makers like

are way-2-expensive.

Thank You
You may PM me or post here.

obx is a very no name brand if ur looking to drop money and putting and lsd into your transmission stick with quaife or kaaz u pay for quality. Obx i wouldnt trust in my transmission i would save and go to a higher end unit. Stay away from obx

There is a reason why limited slip diff's cost so much. If its a budget lsd ur after use a ITR lsd.

I knoe of two ppl one guy from tsr turbo d series running high 12's with the OBX lsd ( Helical ) and another guy with a 92 or 93 gs-r teggy both have the OBX. Both have no complaints, and if Im not mistaken ( Helical ) type lsd's are usually cheaper then the clutch setup one?

salwan7 my advice to u is go on other forums ask arround about OBX, ask who has one cuz the only opinion worth taking is from someone who owns one.

From what i read on TurboD16.com some guys run them, but they say to double check all the tq specs before install.

i picked up one of the obx's but haven't put it in yet. i've heard the same thing, check the bolts, otherwise they are fine. lifetime warranty.

That's a deal and a half! Clutch type 1.5way, right?

While we are on LSD topic, anyone knows what is a decent transmission fluid for a tranny + clutch type LSD? Mix use between daily driving and track racing.

Thanks so much for the opinions.
I think in LSD you get what you pay for.. so Quaife or go home.
Thanks again

Stupid post like this drive me nuts, have u ever used the obx lsd? prob not so dont discount it, I have used it on a d16y8 putting about 300whp, without anytroubles, as have many people on turbod16.

The problem is, most people who say go with Quaife don't even have LSD on their car. But you hear and you follow, and I was once thought about buying Quaife.

But now I use clutch type LSD.

Exactly

Yeah I have also heard the OBX is pretty much identical to the Quaife although the bolts are sometimes not torqued properly and i believe your suppose to reverse the way something is mounted on the LSD.

i doudt people would even be able to tell by driving if they had an lsd in their car.
