VTEC Lsd!

[EnvydGen1]

Hey people! i have found a few places n stuff but like they say if you would like the LSD n i was wandering if i should get the engine with the LSD because i heard that u can corner better with the LSD! But i aint to sure n plus wanderin wat yous recon! a Gen1 or Gen2 B16A (Gen2 comes with LSD) which ones better, i mean i know Gen1 is older, but still yous recon just go newer the better (which means more money)!! Let Me Know PPl's!

Cheers..Mike 4Life

I prefer my Honda engines with VTEC.....I don't know much about this chinese knock-off V-tech sh*t, but whatever floats your boat.....

A Gen 1 B16 will be easier to fit thanks to cable operated clutch (I'm assuming it's going in to the 86 'teg?).

You got that all wrong... Cornering sucks with a LSD (Limited Slip Differential). See a LSD locks up the diff and makes it so the wheels spin the same speed. The use it in drag racing. If you want a cornering car you don't want the LSD unless you are doing auto-x or an event that has some straights where you need to pick up speed fast. It can cause premature wear on the tires and stress on the rest of the car. You can buy any Honda and get an LSD put in for about $1200 USD new and installed. There are only about a dozen manufactures out there that make them! Not going to have an issue there.

Got this off www.howstuffworks.com
"The differential has three jobs:
· To aim the engine power at the wheels
· To act as the final gear reduction in the vehicle, slowing the rotational speed of the transmission one final time before it hits the wheels
· To transmit the power to the wheels while allowing them to rotate at different speeds (This is the one that earned the differential its name.)
Car wheels spin at different speeds, especially when turning. You can see that each wheel travels a different distance through the turn, and that the inside wheels travel a shorter distance than the outside wheels. Since speed is equal to the distance traveled divided by the time it takes to go that distance, the wheels that travel a shorter distance travel at a lower speed. Also note that the front wheels travel a different distance than the rear wheels.

The locking differential is useful for serious off-road vehicles. This type of differential has the same parts as an open differential, but adds an electric, pneumatic or hydraulic mechanism to lock the two output pinions together."

Look here for more Diff. Info!

Say that to anyone with a dc2r or dc5r and they'll laugh themselves silly.

Or me with an EK4 with a Quaife

It has totally transformed the car's cornering capabilities on the track.

Mate I think you're confusing a LSD with a non-slip diff or locked diff.

[bennjamin]

i think the deciding factor is the type of diff (1.5 way , 2 way etc).
Ive driven both ITR variants and they pull brilliantly thru corners....perhaps CORNERS are what ITR's are "known" for lol !

i think so too

Can you elaborate on how each one felt differently to you?
