HMT project for Posi/LSD
 

Ok well I am just gonna throw this out and see if anyone knows what i'm talking about or knows if it can be done. Well, I know that on a rear end for a rear wheel drive car you can weld the spider gears and you will have full time posi. I know some people who have done it to cheap old mud boggers. Now, can this be done to a front wheel drive car or is front wheel drive completely different? If so, I figured, why not weld the spider gears and have posi instead of paying out the ass for a lsd unit from quaife or whatever the hell. What the hell is quaife anyway, shut up with the quaife.

a quaife is a vagina fart.

and yes you can weld up the diffs in honda tranny's

Dont forget to mention the broken axles that come along with the property...

The next best thing to welding the gears, is the "SPOOL" which is in the 300 range.

have fun turning

Re: HMT project for Posi/LSD
 

He said it.... You wont be able to make u turns anymore, remember the idea of one axle accelerating faster then the other... well not anymore

Re: HMT project for Posi/LSD
 

yep, a buddy of mine tried it, broke his axles turning around in the pits, hahaha.

I had this one my '78 454 camaro. Every time I would take a turn, wheels go "chirp chirp chirp" and attract plenty of unwanted attention.

Also, here is the bad news...........

V8 rear ends don't use cast spiders, they are machined from solid stock.

Talking GM 10 and 12 bolt rears, not the shitty 7.5/7.625 Monza rears used in 82+ F Bodys.

The cast Honda spiders will become brittle and the welds. When the welds break (LOL F&F!) the tranny will explode just like if you ate thru a diff pin.

Now come up with a Detroit Locker or PowerTrax, then you might have something!

Re: HMT project for Posi/LSD
 

Not always... beau's j1 was welded for along time, yes the welds broke but it didnt explode like that one at all.

In fact I beleive he just rewelded the living ---- out of the thing

Re: HMT project for Posi/LSD
 

so he had the tranny in out 2-3 times???????

Time spent welding??????

OBX for $400 is so much easier.
