LSD - How many secs will it shave off your laptime?

[Glocker]

Hi guys, just asking a noob question here. How much faster would you go with a LSD gearbox vs a non-LSD gearbox? Has anyone made a comparison yet? Example B16A with no LSD and B16A with a CTR/ITR gearbox? Worth getting an OEM LSD gearbox along with a transplant or save up and go aftermarket later on? And if aftermarket...1 way or 1.5 way? Those MFactory LSDs look tempting!

4.52 seconds.

OEM LSD is pretty decent, dont have to worry about any annoying noises, easy to maintain and cheap.
If you want to shave laptimes, look at getting a aftermarket 4.9FD aswell which will make the most difference

[fatboyz39]

Too many variables. If your starting out OEM LSD will the sufficient.

My EG with B16A made about 3 secs a lap @ Eastern Creek after the addition of a Mfactory LSD. Sooooooo much better to drive out of corners. Highly recommended for sure! Eastern Creek 1.52.25 - Wakefield 1.10.9 -

How highly rated are the Mfactory LSD?

I was looking at it for my Future d16 turbo build, $650 not bad price

[fatboyz39]

wavtrac is another option.

Kaaz froth. worth it for the broken car sound LSD is a very good thing to have for a circuit car

Have run both Kaaz and factory lsd at track.Lap times no different but factory lsd easier to drive cheaper to buy easier to maintain.If I didn't already have a Kaaz I wouldn't buy one.

Also consider Quaife.

Quaife same thing as factory lsd
Last a lifetime and don't wearout always cheap JDM ones on ebay.
