Drift with yer torsen

If you drive "drift cars", how is this a question you don't have an answer to. Unless you're the DK and have other people build your "drift cars"

evomike 04-14-2015 12:46 PM

why do you want a welded diff? and torsion diffs are garbage for drifting.

Rota 04-14-2015 12:59 PM

Haha wow, these cars are going to become the next 240SX.

Mk3 supra will probably work. Find one with an lsd they're clutch types.

Unless you are the next Kenny from the Block it does it's job pretty good. I have no issues holding angle with it and it grabs pretty good. Now, if your car is herra flush RACECAR 9" wide tires and you dont like that it doesnt break traction thats another story.

no it will heat up and stop working if you're actually drifting on it not just doing dumb things in a parking lot.

It's a Torsen (torque sensing) LSD, not a VLSD (viscous fluid). It's not going to "heat up and stop working" (like a diff that uses viscous coupling)...

Torsens are great for grip driving. Their only downside is if you lift the inside wheel into the air, the Torsen will act in the same way an open diff would act until that wheel regains traction. You can drift with Torsens just fine.... They just don't lockup as aggressively as what most drifters want... This is what you'd expect though. Most people who use 1.5 way or 2 way clutch-type LSDs for grip driving run them with much less aggressive settings than they would use for drifting anyway. Torsens are a good all-around diffs, and that's why OEMs use them. VLSDs suck, and that's why they aren't very common anymore.

Most pro drifters are running quick-change spools nowadays, which effectively work in exactly the same way as welded diffs... only they are stronger and safer.

You don't actually think 9" wide wheels are wide, do you...? And you know Ken Block doesn't actually drift, right...?

welding a diff is for poor plebs. do it right you wont be disappointed...if you daily this car youll hate life after about a week with that welded dif.

Well by design yes, but we're totally going to be finding these things in 10-15 years totally ratted out with welded differentials and people wanting $10k.
