aftermarket lsd

[J2daW]

apparently. no labour quote will try do it alone! he says its helical type. sound right?

[aimre]

The OBX is helical/torsen type aswell. Labour is quiet some effort, you may wanna change the clutch while ur there

[turtleEK1]

not sure about the OBX lsd's... they're a cheap replica of the quaife! i've heard different storys about them... from what i've heard, they are only good if you get a guy to install it knows exactly what hes doing, because there is alot of shims to install with it... if not done right... not good outcome!!

i've even seen one that they couldn't get their driveshft back in because the socket part where the driveshaft spline goes in was too small and badly damaged... and it wasn't from the installer... came like that...

lsd's aren't a one type suits all... it depends on what kind of driving you do... have helical, clutch type... 1 way, 1.5 way, 2 way...

if your car is just for street... that integra lsd may be the go... just research abit... also to remember, any labour that includes gearbox will not be cheap! can be up to around $300 just to open it, let alone work on it, put back together etc...

got another quote for $1800 for that integra lsd installed with new synchros and bearings. expensive but i think worth it. another $350 to $400 for new HD clutch. otherwise bout the same for imported lsd prelude box, but no warranty. plus clutch. thanx guys, great help.

[whoosh!]

dont be a ricer and buy OBX rubbish..

buy a clutch type LSD if your serious i.e Cusco or ATS, or if you want lower maintenance get a helical type like the Quaife - no need for rebuild but less engagement as the clutch type.

It may cost twice as much, but you pay for what you get

How does using a particular brand make one a ricer? Have you had 1st hand experience with the OBX LSD?

do some research and you will know.

[bennjamin]

ive done the research and the OBX unit is OK for B series.

But for D series there are issues with fitting etc.
Who knows for H series lol ?
links ?
My 0.02 cents.

re: Research, I wouldn'y know how they installed it or who, or how they drove, but if you have 1st Hand Experience and it failed maybe we can share info why.

I've been using the OBX LSD for more than a year now. Have done supersprints etc. No Issue, in fact, works very well.

Why only a clutvh type if your serious? Were not all drifters here. Infact, Helical is prefered for racing and OBX is a helical type LSD. (Any coincidence a type r comes with helical type???) All those brands are over DOUBLE the cost, some ppl arent made of money.

ALso dont read one thread on some site, where one guys says he has heard of lots of people having trouble with it. Cos infact, they dont. PPl have learnt from the first few times, and if u look properley, you will find that all a d-series guy has to do, is shim it correctly.
