LSD gear box

[kj887]

hi, i m just wondering how to identify my gear bx has equipped a LSD or not? but the cast of the box doesnt has any "L.S.D" stamp on it, If I dont take the gear box out, do I still have a chance to know it is LSD gearbox if without take it out? My car is Integra Vti-R, gear box is S80, not Y80, my car gearbox is different with other vti-r box, not Y80. can anyone tell me or show me? thank much

you should be able to tell the difference in traction....

All the b series boxes are interchangeable...

I'm running a b16a box....

Burnout, check for rubber lines. If there's two, you have an LSD. If there's one, you have an open diff.

if both wheels spin then its LSD but if only 1 then it isnt
im not sure but thats what i think would happen

That is, in fact, what would happen.

Actually if you get 2 lines you might have a rooted open diff. And if you get one line you might have a stuffed LSD... so yeah. Heh heh.

very complicated, but i see what i can do.........sounds hard....what abt if i take the car to the work shop, does it tell me it is LSD or non-LSD gear box when jack the car up......cos spin may be too hard for me, n i m not 100% understand how to spin. thx everyone, or anyone got diff opinions???

snap/pop 2nds on your car youll feel it spining one or two wheels

[Zilli]

the box should have LSD marked on the housing...

[kj887]

no LSD mark on the cast/housing of mine, doesnt like type r gear box the lsd stamp on the case, but my gear box is S80, bit diff usual Y80 normal AUDM integra......

jack it up and turn one wheel.. if they both go same way then it has lsd

if they go opposite to each other then its open diff

Actually that's not entirely correct. If it's a Torsen LSD, if you spin one wheel while they are both off the ground, the other will not spin at all. If you put it in neutral, spin one wheel, and while doing it get someone else to try to spin the other wheel the other way I think it would engage the LSD. If it wont let you spin the other wheel, then it has a Torsen LSD (which is what the Type R has).

anyone got more opinions abt my gear box...LSD or non-LSD....S80 can be a LSD gear box or may be a optional LSD gear box???

just rev it to 5grand and drop the clutch till it stops spining, and to make sure you leave marks just use the handbrake........fully up...
then check the marks on the ground, if notsatisfied, try again untill you are

as far as i know its quite hard to tell without pulling the shorter of the two driveshafts out and looking into the box, if you can see a pin going directly through the middle then its not lsd, if you can see straight through the other side it is an lsd box.

wrong...... can' ttell if its jacked up....

best is to do a burnout....

[hayashi_1986]

I think everyone wants to see a burnout lol. Typically jacking up the car and turning the wheels should be enough though.

But, yes...if in doubt, burn those suckers up. That should tell you...would be nice too :wave:
