Should I get LSD?
 

I have a 94 b18c and im considering to go turbo soon and boost around 7 psi. My third gear synchros were going bad so I wanted to replace em and throw some lsd in there while im at it. Would it be neccessary to spend my money on an lsd if im only boosting 7psi? I'm limited on cash and I rather put my money towards something else. Is it really gonna make a difference in quarter mile times? Also I was looking getting an obx lsd or just the honda lsd. Which one would be better to get? I heard obx were pretty nice if done the right way, and they also sometimes they need slight modification for them to fit, but other wise drive real nice. THe only reason I was considering the obx was that it seemed good for the money that's what ive been mostly hearing. Will a honda Lsd be be realiable on the boost im looking to go with? THanks, Hopefully I didn't ask to many random questions. :)

If you were only running 7 psi, I really wouldn't even bother

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

anytime you boost a car your gonna want lsd to get the power to the ground. it will definetly make a diffrence in 1/4 mile time. the obx is sweet and holds good power. the honda one is expensive. the obx will work.just get a b16 lsd trans and save the hassel.

Depends on your wants. If you want Auto-X or Road Course you would find it beneficial. But for Straight Line I have Cut 1.9's on DR's with my one wheel wonder. When I make more power I would think about it but with what you plan to do money could be better spent elsewhere.

if your going to open it up you I would put one in now.

Why would I need a b16 trans if im gonna want lsd? Wouldn't the gsr tranny be better because of the longer gear ratios causing the engine to hold boost for a longer period of time?

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

he said get a b16 tranny thats equipped with lsd already.

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

Wouldn't it be a little less expensive to just buy LSD and throw it in my gsr trans. Also which trans would be better for a turbo setup the b16 trans or the gsr trans? I also wanted to clarify that this will be a daily driven car, and I would like to have quick quarter-mile times but at the same time have a good daily driver.

id get one, you wont regret it.

7psi is where it all starts next thing you know you want more MORE MOREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE, next thing you known ur up to 15psi and suckin cock for cylinder walls so u can push more, dont lie to yourself man

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

lies all lies, shorter gear= better accelleration bottom line. Jeff always got the best times on his D's with an si tranny

I agree, i got my ass kicked in 1/4 when I went from DX from an EX, when I swapped back to an EX my times came back to normal crappyness.

ppl piss me off when they tell me i should keep my LS tranny for boost. " long gears are better for boost, you stay in boost longer." i hate having to explain why shorter gears are better for acceleration on any motor

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

LOL, but when you stay in boost longer you make more power right :1. Im going to start shifting 1-3-5 to stay in boost for the longest amount of time :)

$700 to replace the 3-4 sync's, gear cluster, and little parts, $900 for a LSD + labor...........

yep, glad I'm still SOHC powered :)

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

I sold my LSD, money spent elsewhere

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

Boosted or not. LSD is better in any setup.

LS 5th Gear in a B16 Tranny Rockorz.

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

yea, get some LSD, I had some over the weekend and my wheels are still spinnin

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

haha thats the ---- right there. the only time longer gears might be quicker is if you are red lineing before your done the 1/4 mile.

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

just picture a open dif with slicks, now install a lsd and use drag radials its similar to results, you'll be 2wice as fast with lsd and slicks. also 7psi will make a ---- ton of power on a gsr motor, if your using something similar to a .63/60 57 trim to 60, ---- on 9psi on a 60 trim t3t4 hotrex made what like 309whp? your easyly looking at 250-270whp on 7psi with that turbo. good luck man

Re: Should I get LSD?
 

I don't think im even gonna pull my tranny anymore because I put some synchromesh in there and it's shifting smooth for the most part, except a little itch in third gear. I know this didn't fix my problem, but as soon as it starts grinding a good bit, that's when im gonna consider LSD, and some new synchros.

synchromesh is magic in a bottle man
