Rotary have to redline regularly?

[hachiroku clan]

In a straight line, 1.5 is enough i guess.. Other factors could make ur car spin, e.g big boost, slippery road or bad tires.. Im not too sure about this, im sorry..
About under/over steer, for 2way lsd in:
ff- understeer, imagine both front wheels running at same speed at a corner.. (inner wheel should be abit slower than outer wheel)

fr- oversteer, coz both rear wheels spin at the same speed, the inner wheels that is supposed to slow abit is spinning at the same rate as the outer one.. Making the rear 'throw' outwards..

Pro drifters use 2way lsd coz whey want to maintain speed while drifting.. If use 1.5, the speed is sacrifised abit.. The cheap way is drifters tend to weld the rear diffrentials together, making it lock fully..

How strong the under/oversteer depends on the type of lsd.. Some are activated by speed (viscous)
or torque/power sensitive depending on the load n power that is transfred to the diffrentials (helical gear)

if there is any mistakes, please correct me..

nvm, one day bro...do u go for the meets?

 

[hachiroku clan]

Meets? The closest i've been to an fd is when i pass by my neighbour's house! Hahaha very 'cham' lah..
That fd doesnt move, but only gets the occassional warm up.. Bet there's tons of carbon buildup in it.. An uncle warms it up.. Maybe it belongs to his son who is studying?
Im from seremban btw, not many fd but seen quite a number of 8's tho..

 

[kk13]

Dear forummers,

Apologies if this seems like digging up an old thread, but here's a superbly interesting and easy-to-understand article on LSD's, specifically clutch pack LSD's written by Mike Kojima of Sport Compact Car fame:

Project NSX Part 2, Tuning a Limited Slip Differential; Tricks of the Pros

Enjoy!

Cheers.

Also, if anyone has the time, have a look at this video by Chevrolet 'back in the days' for a step-by-step guide to how a differential works. Open differential, not a limited-slip differential.

YouTube- How Differential Gear works (BEST Tutorial)

Hopefully these two links will lift the veil of mystery and dispel the many myths of differentials and limited slip differentials in high performance cars.

Happy tuning and safe driving!

Cheers.
