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 have seen wave trac out of the race cars after multiple track days. These are cars that make over 400 WHP. They look like new. The one comment back from drivers on wave trac is that they dont do well if you are running over berms on sides of the track but if you are on track they work great.
The prefered LSD is OS Giken. Now that we have mine sorted out I have to agree. Its the best lsd I have expereinced. The OS Giken is so tunable its incredible. Mine is tuned for AX and I have zero push. The professional race drivers and the engineers pretty much agree. If you want an LSD that you put in typical street/track car go with Wave Trac. It will last a long time and is very good quality. If you want top of the line race car LSD with adjustbility go with OS Giken as you can tune the OS giken to do any thing you like. All the Grand Am Nissans are using OS Giken and thats after testing almost every available LSD on the market for these cars. This post has been edited by grantsfo: Sep 16 2011, 10:07 AM |

Grantsfo stated OS Giken is preferred but I cannot find a listing for a product for teh 914 or 1971/1972 911 901 Any help. I am looking for a 75percent clutch type for a stock class PCA 2.0 car. |
