James Posted March 18, 2011 Share Posted March 18, 2011 My NA-TT started its life as an SZ so there is no traction control, ABS or LSD here! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Angry Acorn Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I know this is an old thread and apologies for rehashing this but I just checked to see if my N/A has a LSD and it says v161 A02B? now I know it has the 6speed but does this mean it also has a LSD? and if so what is the difference between B and D?

SPG Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Facelift 6speeds all came with small cased LSD's, which is the A02b that you have stated Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsia Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 I really should just check what my VIN says. I tried the 'does it leave an 11 or a 1' method and ended up with a 1, but I'm not sure if that was just down to the surface or not. No matter, I'll find out eventually!

Angry Acorn Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 so would it be worth getting the one up? as I am going NA-T or will what i have do? I know for 500bhp and up you have to replace it with something stronger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Angry Acorn Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 what does it mean if you leave and 11 and a 1? I know lines on the road from tires but what is what? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could always just see how the A02B copes with the power, and if it goes then get a new one, if not there's also Kazz LSD's avaliable, and another brand that make an aftermarket one that I can't remember Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich.2211 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 I've got an A01B diff fitted to mine (Torsen LSD), any idea how those hold up to power? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stevie_b Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 what does it mean if you leave and 11 and a 1? I know lines on the road from tires but what is what? 1 = open diff 11 = LSD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A01B will be fine for quite a few ponies, I ran one of these on a BPU NA-TT and coupled with the W58, the acceleration was awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know for 500bhp and up you have to replace it with something stronger An A02B would be ideal for around that power level. Wouldn't cause you any issues. Quite a few cars in Japan have been swapped to the A02B to provide greater acceleration with the V160/V161 due to its 3.769:1 ratio. With my old NA-TT W58 5 speed, the A01A 4.083:1 open diff (mental acceleration ) packed in and I changed it to an A02B. It was great and served me well!

Guest Eddie_r32 Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Sorry to ask a question that a search will show up but its just getting confusing! I have a sz auto and would like a LSD and better acceleration, what diff can I fit! Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Noz Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 Theres a mkivsupra nz website (I cant seem to find it). It has all the diff spec's and codes for model depending. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a sz auto and would like a LSD and better acceleration, what diff can I fit! Thanks The direct swap LSD diff that you can put into an SZ is the A01B. It is a 4.083:1 ratio TorSen diff. This ratio is the same as the A01A open diff that you currently have. If you were to fit an A02B (commonly found in the TT Auto), it has a 3.769:1 ratio which - theoretically - gives less acceleration, though you may find that you have better traction. To fit the A02B, you need to change the prop flange for mating to your gearbox as it won't go straight on. - - - Updated - - - Theres a mkivsupra nz website (I cant seem to find it).

Angry Acorn Posted July 4, 2013 Share Posted July 4, 2013 thanks for the help guys much appreciated, one last thing, iv read that some people swop out the internals of a manual cars diff with the internals of a auto cars diff or they just swop the diffs all together because apparently they get better acceleration from a manual with a auto diff I think it was? does this apply with the supra's as well? Im pretty sure i read that you loose some top speed but you gain on the acceleration of the vehicle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
