Greetings.
While my engine is out for top end refresh I'm also planning on installing a limited slip diff. What have people run and why? Obvious choices are Guard (true LSD) Quaif, Wavetrac (Torque bias). Pros / cons of those types? I've heard the TB is easier on the rest of the gearbox. Not too concerned about having to run LSD additive as the fluids get regular service anyway (every event). Quick rundown of the car: 100% track use (not street legal) Little to no AX - all road course. 2.0L 4 cyl with fairly extensive mods. Estimated hp around 150. 901 side shift with AFKSX gearsets. Car weighs approx 1700 lbs (18 & change with me in it) Currently running Toyo RR 225/50 slicks. May step up to Hoosiers if I get more serious about racing. I've got another set of wheels for running in the wet with R888R's. Not great rain tires, but that's what's on those wheels now. When they're done I'll probably switch to RA1's. Thanks! |

The Wavetrac is unique in the TB LSD world. Check the "How It's Different" tab:

It is a pretty neat piece-they basically added a Salisbury action to a TB so you remove requirement for wheel loading without needing clutches. How much do they run? |
