Note: I'm not selling these or making any money off of this.
I've been talking to the guys at MFactory http://teammfactory.com/ who make limited slip diffs and gearsets for primarily Honda, but also other makes as well. Their parts are very widely respected throughout the Honda/import community. Last year I put a helical LSD from them in my Civic Del Sol Si, and was absolutely blown away by how cheap and high quality the parts were. I think I ended up paying $700 for the limited slip shipped to my door. If we could get together 10-20 orders for these things they'd be willing to make a helical LSD or a clutch-type LSD for a bit more. These would fit 914 transmissions, as well as 912 ( not 912E ) and 1964 -1971 911. Would anyone be interested in a cheap high-quality forged chromoly diff for 901/914? If so would you want a torque-biasing diff, or clutch/plate-type LSD? |

I and another 914 racer in installed the WaveTrac together this year with pleasing results so far.
My car is a single plug 2.0L six narrow body vintage racer with very humble power output. So compared to my previous open diff, the difference is not huge, since I never had a problem with lifting a rear wheel. But the car is more stable hustling into corners under braking - especially high speed corners where the car seems less twitchy. But for my friend's car - he has seen a huge improvement. With another 50hp on a lighter twin plugged gt car [running a different class], his used to have big wheelspin on corner exit. No more. His lap times have dropped dramatically, and he really notices an improvement. Can't speak to longevity yet. And of course being around $500 cheaper helps the cause. Gavin VARAC #58 |
