This is true. @
Tcoat - that Wikipedia link you posted is wrong.
None of the
FWD Honda vehicles in that list have a Torsen LSD, they have a Helical LSD.
I've owned 2 of the Si's you provided the owner's manual excerpt from about the LSD. Honda marketing, owners manuals and service manuals all refer to it as a Helical LSD, not a Torsen.
The only Honda vehicle that I know of that shipped with a Torsen is the S2000, which I've also owned, and was very clearly marketed as coming with a Torsen. If a Torsen is used, it is always part of marketing and clearly denoted anywhere it can be.
Note the following:

I can't find the same thing (something OEM looking) for an S2000 atm, but if I had to prove the point, I could go take a photo of the limited edition S2000 book I have hidden away in the office.
Torsen and Helical are -similar- so similar that people lump them together. But similar is not equal.
