Ok. The build plate says i got an A02B.

Great. I have an LSD. But what kind?

is it a Torque Sensing? (Torsen) Multiplate? Viscous?

Having one already, would i need to upgrade any time in the near future when putting a good amount of power for drifting?

Torsen, assuming the factory one has not been replaced (improbable).

There is another thread which will answer your last question. Search for "torsen" over the last few days.

You'll probably destroy it drifting. But if you do, just get a good 1.5 or 2 way clutch type diff to replace it.

??? Inculcate???

INCULCATE.....

1. to implant by repeated statement or admonition; teach persistently and earnestly (usually fol. by upon or in): to inculcate virtue in the young.
2. to cause or influence (someone) to accept an idea or feeling (usually fol. by with): Socrates inculcated his pupils with the love of truth.

Hahahaha...I get it.......you were trying to get him to search

I've done the searches on the "A02B" keywords and searched through the transmission section. All i came up with is that there IS an LSD of some sort in there. So i decided to ask.


If it truely is a Torsen, what will get destroyed drifting? Torsen LSDs are purely mechanical. No clutches, no fluids, no electronics. It's based on worm gears. What will wear out?

If i'm using it for what it's suposed to be used for...ie. turning both wheels simultaneously....then what goes bad?

Doing literally that will get you this (and its archived material) among the answers:
http://soarercentral.com/sc-forum/messages/30604/33950.html
where construction and durability of Torsen and clutch pack diffs are discussed. Read Cihan's post there on advantages of a 2-way clutch LSD over a Torsen for drifting. A Torsen is strong but anything mechanical wears and continued drifting using an LSD designed for the street might come under the heading of abuse.

Use that link, and hope it helps

Thanks for the link.

Regarding the whole searching thing...if i knew it was a torsen LSD in the first place, i would have searched out the keyword "torsen", but back to my original post, i was unsure of what actually came with the A02B build plate, hence why I asked.
