[delsol9000rpms]

hey guys i was just wondering if youve had any experiences with the obx lsd for a b16a... good? bad?

let me know if your running one in your car etc?

opinions?


thanks

[ZeForce]

Im running one with my B20VTEC setup, no fitment issues and has been working really well. Great value for money :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup:

I believe the hi-comp EG is running an OBX one aswell.

[grumpy rooster]

That is correct. They have done 200+ runs with theirs and not a problem. H22A application though (not that it makes any difference really).

thanks guys

ay grumpy didnt you use to be a dealer of them? can you still get them for good prices? if so can you pm me

[grumpy rooster]

I tried in vain many times to deal with OBX direct and never got a reply. I was dealing with one company but the prices they were giving me made it not worth my while.

It is cheaper for you to buy one direct from one of the dealers off ebay. :)

is it worth getting a LSD if your not drag/track??
what are the benefits?

...better launch/traction, and if you have the right one, the ability to pull you into the apex on corners.

Your looking at around $680-$750 landed here from the US at current exchange rates depending on which one you need.

mate , that lin is what 3 years old now. OBX , to my knowledge rectified this issue with new versions of that and other diffs.

FYI , OBX is basically reverse engineered copies of other brands such as quaife etc.

[Limbo]

yeah from my research the old OBX stock had problems. Lately there have been less issues, but there are still some still floating, but that's to be expected with any product.

The current issues is that some unit have broken, that's the same with any product.
For the cost its seems quite good bang for buck. If you can afford it most of the US point to quaife LSD, as one of the most trouble free LSDs.

^^^true for you above 3... and pity i've been screwed 3 times with shit honda-tech advice.

pity about their chromoly cams eating rockers though...

i got an mfactory lsd instead :D

[MFactory]

Current issue with the OBX's (both B and D) is the runout on them i.e they are very slightly oval

this causes them to wobble, and in the really bad cases, cause the tranny to bind up causing premature failure of bearings etc

From the units that were measured, the OBX varied between 0.01" to 0.03" runout. Compare this to the Quaife average of around 0.004", and the MFactory's which are all in the 0.000x" range
