not a lot of car have clutch type LSD as oem..but alot have viscous LSD as oem......

Yeah, not many car with this clutch type LSD as an OEM standard. Me also pening since then. Anyway, just let it be la. Buat donno jer!!

well from my limited understanding.. the open diffrential act to supply the same amount of torque to both wheel every time.. when traction on 2 wheels are diff and the amount of torque is same on both wheel , the one with less traction will start to slip.. its like pushing 2 block of stone, one on cement and the other one on ice. if u apply the same amount of force, the one on ice will be faster loh.. its not easy to understand i presume..

in clutch type LSD however, both wheel are always "trying" to match speed, when traction are different on both wheel, the one with less traction will start to slip, the clutch on the other side of wheel (with more traction) will spin at identical speed, the amount of force/grip of the clutch to withstand from spinning is the same amount of power transffered to the wheel with more traction loh..

I'm no sifu.. just sharing something i found on net oni..

Good one Tajul.....I must say that the only way to understand all these is to experience it yourself. From what I understand, it will then reduce the overall speed rite? Ni yang pening ni...( or maybe I confused my ownself ! heh ) One side you dont wanna spin ( less traction ) so the other side will try to match the speed meaning slowing down???? memang susah nak faham....

LSD info for Honda B-series owners ----> http://technet.ff-squad.com/how-to/lsdcheck/ :cool:

The car i have was equiped with an LSD since i bought it. So, i dunno the before and after experience. All i know is, the car corners good enough for me. I know its a Gear Type LSD, so cannot "layan" the apex on the tracks too much (like the above article says). Its also bit of a pain to make a U-turn with LSD's, coz the turning radius suffers a bit from the wheels fighting each other during U-turns... but i ain't really complaining...

hmm, not relly like that lah i think.. the one spinning faster is the one that have less traction, if in open differential then sure lah will be slower, as it is loosing grip on one side.. but when LSD is in place, when one wheel start to slip thus spinning faster, the other wheel will try to match the speed thus i presume it should not loss speed lah..

what type of lsd are the 4G92 mivecs running? clutch type? if so, what happens when it wears out? is it servicable?

Yeah ..I also wanna know.....

 

[tajulsans]

Not sure what type it is using.. but if it is clutch type, it is servicable.. but not that cheap to service though..

since tis is lsd thread i would like to ask as well ... im using NISMO 2way full lock b4 tis and its easy to do drifting but i find out its pretty suffering to be used on normal roads... side parking is a nightmare...since its also my daily ride i changed to a stock standard skyline R33 diff..viscous type as i saw d sticker ther..

i turn d wheel but both going in same direction ... not opposite direction as u mentioned... how come like tat? and when i took my car to saturday night drift session ... my god .. it was horrible.. bcuz d track was twisty most of d corners are low speed.... and i find out my lsd seems not working... maybe as u say it need speed to work..bcuz i find out it sometimes lock and sometimes doesnt ... headache...im struggling for d whole nite bcuz d diff lockings are inconsistant...one moment i find out tat my car felt not locking at all after few hours of runs.... then i finally remember tat when d mech change d front cupling, around 30% - 40% oil leaked out... so he top up wif ..im unsure whether its lsd oil to d box.... and when i suspect it might be reason i went to throw and flush d box... inside was terribly black.. now after flushing im using penzoil lsd oil... and when i U turn i dun hear d krak krak tyre sound... i fear my lsd got prob...anyone can enlight me?
