Anyone Looking To Upgrade Their LSD?
 

As we all know, MT cars are equipped with a Torsen LSD, which is good enough for most.

Is the Torsen enough for you? or looking to upgrade/improve?

and for automatic drivers, are you looking into getting a LSD?

The auto has the Torsen LSD for the US market.

All FR-S and BRZ models have the same 4.10 T2 Torsen in North America. We don't get open diffs here. :) Even in other markets only low end A/T's have the open diff. Most still have the Torsen.

Im sure some of the bigger players (Carbonetic, Cusco, Kaaz) will have a nice clutch (fixed) 1, 1.5, and 2 way unit for HPDE and TT use. I would bet Quaife is going to release an automatic torque biasing unit in the somewhat near future too.

Considering the diff in the FR-S isn't a new unit, there should be loads of options out there already. :)

Cusco already has a 1.5 and a 2.0 way lsd.

Product Information:

1. Type-RS

- Low initial torque type using RS springs.

2. Type-MZ

- Initial torque created by the cone plates.

NOTE! Type RS for low initial torque. With the Type RS, the initial torque is absorbed by the RS springs therefore the initial torque comes on gently compared to the Type MZ which comes on stronger as it uses cone plates and response of the LSD is better, as the friction is lower.

*Lower initial torque *Lower power loss *Reacts well to delicate pedal work *Durable and develops initial torque steadily

A CUSCO original design.

- 1.5 way LSD

Activates under acceleration while the understeer is less than on the 2 way LSD.Recommended for drivers having difficulty with 2 way LSD understeer and one way LSD braking.

- Two way LSD

Recommended on the rear axle for rear drive cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration. Recommended for those who prefer hot driving action and big angle drift.

No.

For now the stocker is fine, i do plan on upgrading to a 1.5 way later down the road though.

I agree... im not a viscous fan...

OSGiken already has a diffs available also.

I've had Cusco Type RS LSD 1,5 way on my Subaru Forester in the rear and it was so much fun and pleasure

Even on the dry warm road i could do donuts even if i just push gas to the floor from idle , despite I had AUTO TRANSMISSION hehe

The majority of my real racer/track customers INSIST on clutch (fixed) differentials only. They will NOT buy anything else. They pop, chatter, buck, and make a whole bunch of noise. They find they have better feel, response and performance.

I would never recommend one unless the customer understands what they are getting into with it or specifically asks for it.

Someone who just wants a performance upgrade while maintaining quiet operation and drivability I recommend Quiafe ATB diffs.

love it.

i still prefer the OEM for spirited driving or weekend trackday / autox. but obviously, need to upgrade for race cars.
