1.5 Way plated Diff...

[olly ek9]

use the cusco gear oil it will be nice and quiet then

 

[Dunsy]

where can this cusco oil be purchased?

Sounds expensive haha!

 

[b16 mini]

heres what i'm using, as recomended by raging angel on here
REDLINE Synthetic Manual Transmission Lubricant 75W-80 GL4


REDLINE Limited-Slip Differential Friction Modifier / Break-in Additive

seems fairly quiete using this.

For the track (as in circuit, not strip), there is nothing better than a Plate LSD, although in saying that, you must learn how to drive with it. In a beginners hands, a Helical LSD will be far easier to get to grips with. Is personal preference really i.e are you ready for the learning curve?

In regards to brand, although they all function fairly similar, a few options do stick out (IMO) as they shy away from the traditional design of a Plate LSD and improve on the design where it matters by using a Spring-Loaded design:

1) Torque transition is gradual. This provides more control
2) Swappable cam angles/way
3) Adjustable lock
4) Virtually no chatter (hallelujah baby!!). No more friction modifiers! Now my synchros won't suck!

The companies that offer these are: MFactory (), Cusco and OS Giken

Thanks for the input lads...Should hopefully get it fitted next week sometime

Mr Mfactory...That sounds good! i like the idea of no Chatter My mates Diff is brilliant but suffers from this chatter

Another point, my friend who is a technician at Honda said to use standard Honda MTF as with thicker gear oil the OEM gears may struggle to run due to Honda buolding the box to run on 10/40

Any ideas?

 

[MFactory]

Your Cusco is the MZ though, not the RS, which uses the traditional Plate/Cone design, so unfortunately, will chatter like the rest of them

For oil, have a read of this: MFactory Competition Products - Forged Transmission Components

 

[Dunsy]

Can you tell for sure from the pic?

Thats fine...i can deal with the chattering!

Thanks very much for your help!

 

[MFactory]

This is ours. Notice how you can see the springs through the holes:

 

[Dunsy]

Yeah...thats Kind of like my one!

Thanks for that link by the way! Saved me a FORTUNE in more ways than one!

 

[MFactory]
