LSD questions!

What are the types of LSD's that don't need overhauling?

If there is such a thing.

I thought all LSDs required you to run proper LSD fluid?

i posted one on the for sale section - an ITR box for sale from ebay and it got erased.
Im not posting it again so just get a stock ITR box and be happy with genuine OEM peace of mind.

OEM helical LSD does not need regular servicing

CLUTCH pack LSD need more special fluid than helical LSD

ehhh....i don't think civic uses 1.5way LSD...
but i'm not that sure....
is it true?

Nope - seen many Civic's use them, namely EK4 and EK9.

1.5 is suited to FF cars best from memory.

Civic uses 1.5 way LSDs

Using something like kaaz cannot be compared to an ITR LSD.

ITR is definitely good enough but kaaz is much better.

As for maintenance, just change your transmission fluid every 3 months and use the right fluids.

As for replacing clutch packs, that is a possibility but only after some long and hard use. Its using the wrong fluids that ****s the LSD up the fastest.

Ive read up on this engine and it says LSD is optional? How can I tell once the conversion is done? The engine, drive train etc are from a 94 JDM Si-R

anyone?

btw, for those that had opened up a non LSD b16a gearbox, is it using a 14 bolt final drive ring gear?
ie, if the above LSD fit into non LSD b16a gearbox without changing ring gear to suit?

LOL WUT.

lol :thumbsup:

I had a b16a non-lsd gearbox... I changed the final drive.. The ring gear had 10 bolts.

Here's a pic... There is 10 of those holes but sorry you cant see all the way around.

i'm abit confused by your statement. If you get a b16 to fit a ITR/CTR LSD you need to change the final drive/ring gear.

the oem LSD pic i posted is not ITR/CTR LSD. its the "optional" B16a lsd (pending confirmation from those that has seen it before)
it has 14 bolts pattern. i believe all ITR/CTR LSD is 10 bolts.

so now we have 2 variable:
1. ID of FD ring gear
2. bolts pattern on LSD / FD ring gear

b16 to fit a ITR/CTR LSD: need to change the final drive/ring gear is because of variable no1 (afaik).

i need to know more about variable no2:
is this 14 bolts pattern only unique to these "optional LSD b16a" gearbox or not?

open diff b16: ID of FD? bolt pattern of FD?
oem LSD b16a:ID of FD? bolt pattern of FD?
open diff b18:ID of FD? bolt pattern of FD?
oem LSD b18: ID of FD? bolt pattern of FD?
etc etc

that final drive was for a open diff b16a so that would mean it has a 10 bolt
