Thread: Pre-Purchase: 32V SR16VE Helical LSD

LSD sample is ready. But still waiting for you guys to decide on who can test it.

Post some pictures What do you guys look for in a tester?

Will get some pics up asap (in Australia on business just now, but will be back in a few days).

TBH, we know the LSD works (it's the same design as all of our other fitments), we just need to test it for fitment and make sure everything is ok.

great! so come on guys... Let´s move and find someone in the states who can test this thing! Tracks will be open soon and every one want to have it in the car, not?

I spoke with Bryan Howle (@bhowle) of Midlands Motorworks on our way back from a track day this week and he is in a position to test the prototype as he will have his transmission out soon for new bearings. For those who don't know, Bryan has owned several P10s (stock and SR20VE swapped) and a B13 SE-R. He does automotive repair and race car prep for a living. Bryan is a licensed racing driver and HPDE instructor. He has extensive experience with the FWD VLSD behavior at the limit and would be able to install and test the prototype in his B13 VLSD transmission (installed in his P10). Testing for fitment should be easy, as well as road testing and track testing. Bryan is at the race track enough to get a good test in soon. Drag racing testing can be arranged as well, however keep in mind his car right now is close to stock output.

If it matters, I will also likely be present for some or all of the installation, measuring, instrumentation, and testing because I live close and I'm a curious fellow.

Hopefully Bryan will chime in soon and people are amicable to the idea.

If you're going to be a part of the writeup then I approve your message

yes,yes,yes. do it! do it now!

you came all the way to aus. and didn't say hello! could of bought the 32a helical with you. we could of found a tester for you!. awesome you know it works anyway. that's just the confidence i'm looking for.

@MFactory I am absolutely down to test this unit. The VLSD unit in my current B13 trans has seen better days, but my old one was in great shape (until the diff bearings went) so I can make a good personal comparison between the characteristics of the this unit vs. the factory one. I will be pulling my trans in the next couple of weeks for a new clutch plus input shaft bearings and I can install the unit for testing at that time. What sort of testing are you guys looking for?

If you are interested in having me test this unit, please contact me via email at [email]midlandsmotorworks@gmail.com[/email]
