just because they turn the same way doesnt mean it (archive)

s a "locked" diff. All LSDs turn the same way. You may simply have an e21 LSD. the only way to really tell is to put one of the output shafts in a vice or something, and then to put a torque wrench on the other one, somehow, and then see at what point it breaks away. Given that stock e21 torque was around 100lbft, a stock 25% LSD should break away at... 25lbft! 40%= 40 lb ft, etc. If you had a car with 200 lb ft. of torque, you can cut the LSD "percentage" rating in half, because thats just a relative measurement.

Got this with a parts buy but don't know it's condition other then both outputs turn same direction. May need more inspection. email if interested.

I had weled my stock rear end spider gears up in hopes of producing a "Locked" rear end. now I have bits and pieces and no useable rear end.... Well since this is a pure AutoX car then I'm looking at getting a LSD rear. I like the feel of a locked rear. it drastically helps. The two wheels pulling dropped lap times today untill it blew on launch producing lots of pieces ;) What percentage LSD should I get? and does anyone have one forsale? I need one pronto. Thanks
