hey, i tried doing a search, but came up with nothing. well i know what LSD's do, but i dont know what the different types do; 1 way, 1.5 way, 2 way. can someone please explain what they each do and what each application they are good for? thanks

 

1 way = lsd works only on acceleration

1.5 way = full lock up on acceleration, 50% lock on decel

2 way = full lock on accel and decel



2 way = good for road racing

1 way = good for drag racing

1.5 way = good for ???

 

isnt there like blotter lsd too?



mike

 

so a 2 way would be good over the 1 and the 1.5? any dissadvantages?

 

2 way = road course racing only



1.5 way = street/ track



1 way= drag racing only



to put it simply, there are MANY types of diffs, that work in all types of conditions (salsbury, cam and pawl, viscious, torsen)

 

sorry, for all the questions, but im just tryin to learn bout em. y is the 2 way only road course? what is the disadvantage to using it on the street??

 

A 2 way lsd can make taking turns a little tricky. It takes a little bit of time to get used to.



I was told by my friend at KAAZ, for drift, he recommends 1.5. He said that very few people use 2 way lsds.

 

so i guess 1.5 it is then. do fd rx7's come with lsd's? and what company makes real good 1.5 way lsd's without costing me a fortune

?

 

kaaz only has 1.5 way for the FD, i have them as well as few of my friends.

Mightymouseox, kaaz and cusco is the only company that made them. i go will the kaaz, i heard from many people they are a better unit.

 

2 way makes the car predictable in both acceleration and deceleration. But it probably wears out the disks inside the LSD sooner.
