Neil i would think that your the best person to ask this question. do you know if it possible to change the way the torsen operates? the reason i ask is i have dismantled the center. if the spider gears are in one position it seems to lock the diff axels in only one direction( what looks like the forward direction). if i change the position of the spider gears it seems to lock the axel in both directions. is this possible?

I FIXED IT
thanks for the link Gary but my diff center dose'nt look like the in side. i was told by a friend that it is a two way mechanical so it must be different to the torsen.
i was studying all the wear marks inside the center for most of today and was convinced that it had been dismantled once be for and then assembled wrong.
By the wear marks it looked like the spider gears were put in wrong.
Sorry Neil i had to go against what you said, about changing the position of the spider gears. I was a bit stressed changing them around, i can tell you that.
But it worked it. All fine now
Thanks for all the help

Well i don,t fully trust my friends knowledge on these things but he seemed very confident.
Inside the center it has a set of spider gears like a standard diff, but they are housed in a two part cradle, with a clutch pack on either side of the cradle(the clutch pack looks similar to a motor bike clutch only the friction plates are all metal) , which connect to each drive shaft.
Is this what a two way is? I would be guessing the torsen is better.

sounds like it mate, I had a 2 way in my last TT, which was a nitemare!! constant wheel churps and puts so much stress on the tyres, hubs, sideshaftes, diff, all the mounts, even the tranny. it is for racing only, not for road use. Torsen is the best LSD, best design, min wear and min noise and works like a treat.

thanks Freeman
Now i know wat i got. So far it dosen,t bother me only wheel churps if i accelerate a little hard into a corner. other than that its ok ,i'm not that heavy on the pedal. i will just have to see how it go's.

cool, sounds like urs is a proper LSD not a "NSD"(No Slip Diff) like mine...thanx to that Mr.HandOnCock-rippoff-dodgyBrother! ;) we all know who he is right??

ok guys - i have a bit of a dilemma.
i'm in the middle of a manual conversion atm...using a supra w58 and drive shaft...and i can get the torsen lsd from this setup for roughly 800 bucks.
OR
i can get a separate diff out of an entire supra back end for closer to 500 bucks...but the diff appears to be either a 2-way or 1.5 way lsd...we wont know til we have a proper look at it on the weekend.
of the two, which should i go??
i'm setting up for a serious street daily driver, but do some light track work around wanneroo once a month or two, and a few mc days. a saving of 300 bucks is quite considerable to me, but i dont want something thats a pig to drive on the street.
should i just go with the torsen? i've got some mates who swear by a 1.5 lsd, they're suggesting if the rear-end diff is 1.5 to go with that.

hi Shane
as you would probably have read i just put a 2 way in my soarer. i cant give you any feed back on the torsen but so far im happy with the 2 way its fine to drive for me. if i go up my drive and and give it a bit of a kick it cherps around a bit, same when i turn into a street from stand still. but more of the time im easy on the gas so its like i dont have it. but at the moment i think i kill my water pump i over heated it bad so im not driving it and thats a different story.
it will more so depend on the way you drive your car from day to day. if you drive like i do on the street you shouldnt have any problems.
so in short im happy with it but the rest is up to you.

peter - thanks for the input. is the sort of advice i was looking for. yeah, i dont tend to go too hard very often on the street, so if a 2-way behaves itself in sedate driving, doesnt judder and carry on while trying to park/u-turn/sharp turn, then i'd be happy with it.
question regarding 2-way lsd's on the track - are they more/less predictable than a torsen? i'm under the impression from this thread a 2-way will lock up if you back off half-way through a corner?? is this right?? how does a torsen behave in similar circumstances??
