there is a 3rd option - kaaz.

i don't know much about either the cusco or trd units, although i suspect the cusco is probably made by kaaz.

they are all plate type units

if they are not adjustable, go the 1.5 way. (kaaz adjustable)

got prices on these units? as i'd be interested to see how they compare to the kaaz item (we are a kaaz distributor by the way)

adjustable in what way? what can you adjust for them to do/not do?!
I would of thought you just slap the center in and away ya go...?

I dont have prices no, its an option that iv been offered, with the T series rear end, i can have choice between the two (2) mentioned items.

what are kaaz centers price's roughly and availability?

with the kaaz unit there are 3 settings (by adjusting the shim pack)- 1. standard plate config, 2. 40% less drive, & 3. 60% less drive.

on a roadcar you would not go lower than 2.

kaaz make an lsd for both types of ae86 disk brake rear ends. retail is $1870.

both types on the shelf.

(i've got a car in the workshop being fitted with one right now)

The cusco and TRD lsd's are also adjuustable, by adding shims you can adjust the amount of preload the LSD has. Mine is shimmed for around 90% lock.

Personally i think the 2 way LSD's are the better of the lot (cusco LSD's are not made by KAAZ btw) as they allow the car to be driven more or less on the throttle.

I thought the Kaaz unit had been discontinued.

i think the difference between the 2way and 1.5 is that the 2way lsd locks up when u accelerate AND decelerate.

the 1.5 way locks up when u accelerate but less when u decelerate..correct me if im wrong! Very Happy Very Happy

Hmm LSD's confuse me.......
All I know is that they are good and highly desirable for race and drift.
Someone want to briefly explain what exactly happens when it "locks up" and how this works positively (and neagatively) especially to something such as drifting.

im not sure about the strength between a 1.5way or a 2way

yea u can tell the difference between a 1.5 way and 2 way (esp. in the wet)mates got a 180sx with a 1.5 way and his mates got a 180sx with a 2way. from what he told me, the car(2 way) oversteers more than the 1.5way

i think the 2 way locks up the wheels more than the 1.5 way.

no_tofu_speed: an LSD compared to an open wheeler is that an LSD tries to make both wheels spin at the same rate esp. when taking a corner

i think thats right. someone correct me if im wrong! Smile

an lsd puts power to both wheels, an open wheeler when traction is lost all the power goes to that one wheel.
So for drifting you lose all your momentum and can't hold the drifts due to 1 wheel spinning

Re: TRD 2 way or Cusco 1.5 way LSD? Sat, 15 November 2003 23:41 Go to previous messageGo to next message
Its really quite simple

1.5 way: you get LSD effect when accelerating and some when decellerating.

2 way: you get LSD effect when accel and full decl

The bonuses of 2 way are that you can drive the car on the throttle to it's limits or your can even initiate and drift by backing off thr throttle to lock the LSD up.

Strength: both are exactally the same.

LSD type: they are all clutch plate LSD's TRD are serviceable usnits also.

Now i have a TRD 2 way and absolutely love it, it has made driving my hard MORE predictable and more sideways then when i had a locker or open diff. I dont believe that in normal driving the 2 way is noticeable at all.

My diff is tight tho... when doing 90 degree turns or taking off while cornering.. you can hear the inside tyre chirp away Wink Very Happy

so does it wear the tyres out quicker with everyday driving? like when cornering and stuff?

so on decellerating if you do a compression lock up both wheels will slow down at the same rate yeh?

if your worried about tyre ware you shouldnt bother getting an LSD at all Wink

seriously i doubt you'd notice the difference between a 2 way and a 1.5 way in terms of tyre wear.. i couldnt tell you.. my tyres dont last long at all but that comes down to driving style.

yeah if you compression lock or brake hard, both wheels will slow down at same time.

not really, in terms of handling, your caster goes up the shit if you run 16's on a sprinter..

personally i like 15's, but i reckon my car actually handles better with 14's. As long as you keep the right overall diameter, or possibly go a little smaller...

i have 2 mates that payed $1200 for their 2way TRD lsd's, brand new, off the shelf.

the reason they are so cheap compared to a Cusco or a KAAZ, is that they -in theory- are not as good. they have a cast housing, whereas the Cusco and KAAZ are billet, therefore less prone to breaking.

- not that i've ever seen a TRD lsd outer housing break Rolling Eyes

call me old and cynical, but surely there is a huge amount of LSD info either from the manufacturers, from the distributors, or even from www.google.com !!!

hmm, lets see now....

LSD, limited slip differential.... now what could that mean????

something about the ashtray perhaps.. maybe the type of oil? Razz heh heh Very Happy

so, why do you guys need to have LSD on decel? anyone care to field that?? (no, not the race guys Wink )

true../.your average driver who may give it a hit off the lights every now and then would have no idea how a 2 way LSD would benifit their car.

2 ways are for people who like to take the corners Smile

a locker that is turned on and off via means of AIR

suitable for 4wd's or drag cars ONLY... a TAD gay in my opinion

depends how much slip the LSD allows..

the only thing an LSD does is to "limit the differential slip"
in other words, it stops one driven wheel from turning much faster than the other driven wheel.

LSD's fall somewhere between an open diff (no control, full slip) and a solid centre (no slip at all).

LSD's came about because of the need, when cornering, for the outside wheel to go faster than the inside wheel (some slip is needed), but too much slip (one wheel spinning) is not good.

some LSD's increase the amount of slip they stop when more pressure is applied to them, so the harder you go, the mroe they work.

some of them do "engage" when you put your foot down, and are basically an open diff off power, and a full locked diff on power

for most ppl the major benefit is when going round corners, the inside wheel doesn;t just spin freely. for ppl with more power, it means they get more power to the ground as they are not just spinning one wheel in a straight line. and for others (dorifto Razz ) it gives them predictable throttle control of a slide.

Is there any info out there about swapping the T18/ra60 diff (or whole rear end - they have bigger drums don't they?) into a ae86?

Just the diff would be bolt in wouldn't it? It's the 6.7" that came in jap ae86's?

I have "heard" that a T18 diff bolts up to a Sprinter, but you need the rear half of the T18 tailshaft too because the nose of the diff is a bit longer.

Also heard that while the T18 diff is similar (bar the LSD centre) to a Sprinter LSD it runs smaller bearings/axles.

Anyone confirm that last bit??

OK just say I wanted to get an aftermarket LSD such as Kaaz or Cusco.
to fit in an aus-spec.
What is easiest way of fitting or is there no way of getting around purchasing a whole axle assembly which is usually around a grand.

Yes I know that, I just meant like anyone actually KNOW one of the shortcuts suggested or unsuggested that work...rather than replacing everything in rear with JDM .

allright...here is the CHEAPEST way to get LSD in your ae86.

buy a T-18 diff. drum to drum.

remove the T-18 center.(you'll need to pop the axles out a bit...)

BOLT IN a full JDM LSD center...carrier, crownwheel, pinion, the lot.

then you wont have to change your tailshaft, your handbrake cables, BUT you will still have a drum brake rear, and fairly decent (but not as big as the JDM) wheel bearings.

the T-18 diff, drum to drum is a bolt in to a sprinter. i know, coz i've done it.

in theory, if you buy a good second-hand LSD center for $600, you should get out of it for less than $750 all up, depending on where you get your T-18 diff from. that should include new oil, and other crap.

OR...you can just buy a complete disk to disk JDM LSD for around $1200, and have better brakes, and bigger wheel bearings.
