Will the LSD from a AE82 Seca fit/bolt right into an AE82 Twincam rolla?

The AE82 Seca with the 4A-E 1600 sohc came with an LSD, i was hoping this would be a straight swap into the twincam.

ok, I gotta clear some things up for you, no ae82's came out of the factory with a LSD.
There's no such thing as a "4A-E".
The ae82's in australia came with either a 4A-C, a 1.6 SOHC, or a 4A-GE 1.6 DOHC.
The only FWD LSD equipped boxes are out of the ae92, and ae101 levin gtz's, and not all those cars are equipped with them. The LSD boxes are designated as E-51. There are also LSD equipped boxes out of the ae111 levin 6-spd (C-60), but I'm not sure if all these are LSD's also.
All these boxes can be made to fit your twin cam, but you will probably need to change the mounting points etc, and as stated abouve, hubs and driveshafts would need to be swapped for the right ones for the box.
The ratios of these boxes would not be good for a N/A car, apart from the C-60 6 speed, although these are horrendously expensive.
so yeah, there's no easy way of getting an lsd in your C-52. There are probably after market ones around, but they would most likely be very expensive, or they'd be more common.
Theres a lot of info about these boxes and what they'll go into on this and other forums, so do a search and you'll find more info then you'll need.

No, the seca's are mechanically the same as a hatch. As I said, I can categorically state that no ae82's came from the factory with an LSD.
I've got an ae82 twin cam seca, and it definetly doesn't have one.
I think your friends are telling porkies. Why don't you jack up the front of the car and spin the wheels, if they turn different directions, it hasn't got a LSD, which is what I think will definetly happen.

First of all, There is no need to change you hub's, I have used GZE, 20V and now have a 6-spd in my rally car and I haven't had to change the hubs yet! Yes the GZE shaft is bigger, but the spline that goes into the hub isn't. Also 6-spd's all have LSD from what I have seen, the other two are available, just when your buying one chech if it is or not. To fit any of these require minor mod's... Top mount. GZE's have crap ratio's standard for N/A engines, but Holinger do have off the shelf ratio's that solves that problem.
