hodge Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 whats the difference with lsd and non. Would this be any good for my project. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jamesy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Non-lsd stops both wheels spinning mate.... Are you thinking of fitting an Auto diff into yours? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hodge Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 yup. Ryan recons there more torquey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baldy Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Non-lsd stops both wheels spinning mate.... Are you thinking of fitting an Auto diff into yours? i think you mean it will let one wheel spin up rather than spin both thus needing more power to spin the wheels hth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jamesy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 yup. Ryan recons there more torquey. Yeah Colin had one fitted to his do-luck car i recall and made lots of improvement. ok well let me know if you do mate Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dude Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Funny that as the yanks all run a UK ratio 6 spd diff in their drag cars, turbo cars work in a diff way to NA cars the turbo needs to be loaded up to make it work harder, good way to ruin a 6 spd single car is whack an auto diff in it;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dude Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 Depends on the use not all of us are building drag strip queens You still need to load a turbo up to get it to work;) and thats my point why would you want to ruin the whole point of fitting a 6spd by gearing it down, logically on a drag racer yes but that will only make it slower, gear changes slow you down period whatever you use the car for.

"Load up the turbo" that techically means nothing. If your theory were correct every 2JZ-GTE should be single speed and it would be faster because there are no gear changes and Massive "load on the turbo". Would you agree? Maybe on the 1/4 with 1000 bhp an huge rolling radius rear tyres, it then siuts the gearing to be optimal in the 1st 4 gears on the strip for getting the lowest et. But that doesnt mean its best for a 400 bhp track car on low profile 18 tyres. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I have had an auto diff on a 6 speed car and tbh i would never do it again, you lose a lot of top speed and cruising on the motorway it revs a lot higher, you seem to be forever changing gear, might work on a track or drift car but not as a street car.

And if you're that serious about gearing you would chop and change between circuits in the box and the diff, thats why we just spent £14K on a ferrari gearbox with quick change ratios, surely with drifting (which I know nothing about) you would not want to be changing gears with it sideways, so if you need the higher (numerical) ratio to get the back out why not run more power and have a wider span of speed in each gear. I remember round Cadwell on my Aprillia V twin following a 600 he was up and down the gears like billyo through the woodland section and I just left the old twin in 2nd and followed him!!! Much easier at my time of life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think im going to be doing 200mph top speed runs in it anyways. I am to be honest totally clueless with diffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 With a single turbo the longer the gears the better by far imo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ray007 Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 im gana be using an auto tt diff on my 6speed with a T61, you guys are starting to make me think twice, however im not really after top end, cant really do much speed in london, i was after the quick acceleration to be honest.

Jamesy Posted June 18, 2010 Author Share Posted June 18, 2010 Anyway .... Ive also got TT auto driveshafts. This will be needed if putting into a manual car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lee P Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 The Do Luck car runs an auto diff and I agree its good for a track car, is a bit annoying cruising on the motorway though. Colins car to this day is still one of the fastest feeling supras I have ever been in or driven and I think the diff played a part in that.

Terminator Posted June 18, 2010 Share Posted June 18, 2010 I love my Getrag/auto diff combo, having driven autos for 9 years I like changing gear, admittedly first to second is a bit quick but after that it is fine. I guess having over 1800 rpm extra to play with gives my combination a longer power band than a stock rev limit engine. If I had to change in the high 6K's it would be very different. Not really fussed having a 212mph limit either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
