i never recommended the phantom over the quafe or kaaz under the reasoning that its better.. shit.. im not retarded... Im just saying if your not full out balls to the wall and just want to stop doing the damn 1 wheel burnouts and get some better traction why turning and accelerating that you prolly dont need to buy a super badass diff like that, your needs can be met buy a less costly part like the BMT or phant lsd.. jeez..
What most people are saying when they do not recomend insert lsds, is...they can #### the trans up. http://www.magnusmotorsports.com/kaazvstorsen.asp Prove this article wrong, then i'll agree with you.
 
hrmm...

that article is from the KAAZ people talking about why Torsen
type LSD's suck as opposed to the clutchy type KAAZ.. well geneius.. the QUAFE is a Torsen LSD! in fact Torsen is actually a Quaife trademark.. see: http://www.houseofthud.com/differentials.htm for details

ill point out the finer...
The whole thing is called a "Torsen" system as in "Torque Sensing" (Torsen is actually a Quaife trademark, and the more generic term is Torque Biasing Differential or TBD) because it instantly reacts to torque imbalance transferring power to the wheels that can use it most. There's a difference between the two main torsen diffs.


your WONDERFUL article is about how a clutch type LSD such as the KAAZ is better than a Torque Biasing Differential like the quafe..

it has absolutly nothing to do, or says nothing about the phantom grip or BMT LSD INSERTS



and if you think they are talking about the pahntom grip or BMT...

look at the bottom

""KAAZ LSD's are usually half the price of a Torsen type. That should seal the deal right there.""

FYI (geneius) kaaz does not cost 100 bucks..


smart man posting an article as an argument without even reading it..

im done with this thread..

FastEclipse1992:
Thanks for the comments… I have worked very hard for everything I have. I have the money to spend on things once NOT twice. I have learned my leason by doing things cheap, and stuff this is my 2nd dsm I am trying to do things right.

eclipsegsx9797:
You know I like you bro, you are just lucky I am fwd. If I had all 4 tires that moved you would be going no where quickly. :cool:

spooledu1st:
I hope they look at you as an example and do things like I am. It sucks what happened to you. In the long run it cost you a lot more money, I hope things work out for you bro…

Wobble:
Dude I don’t even know where to start or even if I should…

13.8 ¼ mile with a 2.2 60ft time? Come on…

April 3rd my goal is 13.6 on my stock T-25 to have the fastest fwd on dsmtimes.org…
It comes down to this, the inserts are a “cheap” way to do the job of a true lsd.

One of my coaches in school once told me…
“Go BIG or go home” then I hit the game winning 3 point shot to advance to the semi-finals…

Corey
 
"13.8 ¼ mile with a 2.2 60ft time? Come on…"

from almost a year ago before phantom grip and alot of other mods, building tranny now.. dingus..

you dont even have a 1/4 mile to post about so stfu dork..

""One of my coaches in high school once told me…
“Go BIG or go home” then I hit the game winning 3 point shot to advance to the semi-finals…""

ROFLOL!! MY HERO!! good lord.. maby you can carry the torch in the athens olympics you stud you!! hahahaha


""April 3rd my goal is 13.6 on my stock T-25""

you spend 800+ bucks on that diff and you wanna run a t-25.. you have some seriousley jacked in the ass Priorities
 
I cant get to the track untill April 3rd because you cant really race in snow...

Hope you are at the shoot out then we can see who has the better 60ft and 1/4 mile OMG

or maybe you can drop your top and be "extra" cool....

I am done with this joker...

Corey
 
I agree, your done alright..

ive got 2 years of track time and a fair number 1/4 mile runs under my belt.. your a damn magazine racer.. oh yea, i like how you have NGK plugs listed as a mod for your car too.. since they come stock with NGK plugs...

and ya can count me out of any shootout, unless you didnt notice i live in south texas.. and i dont drive that far for no meets, especially to race some kid noob with a t25
 
Wobble not everyone lives in Texas where its not freezin balls. Have you ever tried droppin screwing in a screw when its -20 degrees??? Man I wouldnt even wanna grab a females nipple at that temperature cuz you cant feel nothin! So before you sip some more on those "Hator-ADES" calm down before they lock down this thread. It was to post about a good LSD, and not for us to hear your story of how you cant afford a Quafe and use the inserts instead. Now I am not sayin your inserts are crap or the Quafe is Godlike cuz I never tried either, but perhaps IAMCLP3201 rather buy expensive stuff first and cheaper later. Its a lot easier to save 500 bucks for a 16g or 250 for a downpipe than a 1000 for a "TRUE" LSD. Now get of the Hator-ADES and ill see you in the thread "Oh Sh!t the teeth on my tranny!!" thread :thumb:

Pzzzzz

P.S.

Do you buy those bootlegs knock off shoes from Wal*Mart too??
 
""I wouldnt even wanna grab a females nipple at that temperature cuz you cant feel nothin!""

You goober, never deny Teh Teet!! NeVAR!!

you have a good attitude...


"""Oh Sh!t the teeth on my tranny!!" thread ""

yea, that dude is gonna send me some pics maby, waiting on him so i can identify the dead and wounded..

Can we say Ghettoooooo, just look at your fmic LOL (only time b4 this gets locked)

In Aug. I "will" have my SBR G60-1, Fmic, Full fuel set up, Tein flex, plus you cant forget the dsmlink that is in the mail to my house :thumb:

Speak now OMG

Corey
 
haha that fmic is huge LOL. stop fighting and help this guy out.


if you are looking for big power later do it right the first time and spend the money. if you looking for ok power spend ok money simple as that
 
Red97eclipseboy:
I was wondering, who said a phantom or bmt was a torsen unit? Torsen unit is a different type of lsd that works different, doesn't use clutch packs like the kaaz, and I belive quaiffe sells these units. The torsen is a nice unit, good for road racing. It comes in a lot of cars from factory. That article doesn't say crap about the phantom or bmt unit, looks like a kaaz seller or sponsored by them.

Iamcpl1:
what kinda of car are you trying to build, just wondering. If i was about to go out and spend my money on a kaaz or quaiffe, i would think i build the tranny while I'm at it too. Why only do half of the job, if you still got a stock tranny. BMT and Phatom are nice units, bang for the buck. Only thing bad about them, is how strong are the spider gears on the stock diff. If i were going to be drag racing all the time, i would be done and get a damn spool, can never go wrong with that. You were the one saying never go cheap, but you stayed with the stock internals, i would moded some of the stuff in the tranny, like the shiftforks and a few other things available for it, since price

Wobble:Yeah the BMT and Phantom unit is a nice unit for the price. Acts like a LSD but ain't never gonna be quaiffe or a kaaz unit, but for the price you cannot beat it. You are right, it makes a night and day difference between the stock open diff and BMT or Phatom. If i didn't have a LSD from factory, the bmt or phantom would be a good option to do, but I doubt it the would of made it for my car anyways.


Whoever said that they are making 300hp and blew their differential, what actually went wrong, just wondering. Maybe it wasn't install right. Maybe you were one of those unlucky one that their spyder gears broke.

The bmt and phamton is not a full locker, like a spool, it will slip under certain conditions. Why don't people go with the LSD unit from the awd's? Didn't they come with them in japan, or are they hard to find? I don't know much about what it sold for dsm's, just making a suggestion.

Another thing, maybe Wobble can save the extra 800 for something in the future, you know, engine, coughcrankwalkcough, LOL....that's it for me now
 
""In Aug. I "will" have my SBR G60-1, Fmic, Full fuel set up, Tein flex, plus you cant forget the dsmlink that is in the mail to my house

Corey""


you can talk all day about what you 'WILL" have and what your "GOING" to do.. etc..

nobody wants to hear another goober rant about how hes gonna get a 60 trim and all this other thousands of dollers worht the crap.. THEN they are gonna do this and that, and its gonna be WILD..

im not ranting about what im "gonna" do and things I dont curently have...

but then again.. i dint need to.


and yea my old FMIC was ghetto, sold that booger a few months ago.. it was adejon tool one.. now i have a spearco core with custom tanks, much nicer.. no pics yet though.. wankel guy can vouch for it though.. im not making its existance up (not that anyone would do that here) i actually bought it from his friend and he helped me install it.. (not fun.. damn headlights! LOL)



its funny how you can rant and make fun of my old fmic.. and then boast about things you dont even have..

also your very cool and rude AIM messages really showed your intellegence and makes me put you at.. between 16-18 give your "your ride is sh!t" im leaning towards mid 17s..


but you have your whole life ahead of you, and given modern medicine you just may be able to contribute to socity given a good pharmicist and some military school..

My goals are mid-high 12's, I dont really want anything full out. My tranny is fine and all of the stuff inside of it looked good so there was no need to replace it. The only reason why I put all of that in (the Quaife and the 2600) was because I smoked my stock clutch... So since it was all out I might as well add something a little more.

Corey
 
Cheap? i hate spearco cores. They are too restrictive to let the air flow thru it so the radiator gets air. I don't know about the spearco core, it doesn't look like it, but I never seen a griffin core. The core was bought from cartech, even talked to corky bell himself. So i don't know what they use. How much are griffin cores?
 
"""My tranny is fine and all of the stuff inside of it looked good so there was no need to replace it""


yea i bet your stock tranny is fine, for stock power.. but your mid 12s out of a FWD with that quafe getting the power to the wheels is gonna make your fine tranny really un-fine pretty quick..



if nothing else replace your shift rods with some TRE ones, they are only $80 and the ends are MUCH better than the cast crap that is stock, its well worth it for sure.. assuming you have the trans apart, i wouldent pull it just to do that though..

"haha do some research it is not a sperico you wore told wrong sorry man." dingus.. there are no pics of my new setup on the net.. only the old one.. how the hell you know what it is?


""I don't know about the spearco core, it doesn't look like it"" i thought brandon said it was... crap i dont remember either.. LOL..
 
ya u hate a core that has seen 10 if not more. you people need to stop asuming stupid things that you think and go with what is proven and tested.

sperico cores are crapy and what do you run in the 1/4 i bet nothing big so your opionion is one in a million that no one cares about so get lost.
 
hey idiot.. i dont know if your drunk or what.. but the FMIC in my profile.. is the old Dejon tool one.. not the new one.. just so y know before you try and tell me you know more about my FMIC than i do even though you have no clue what it even looks like..

""sperico cores are crapy and what do you run in the 1/4 i bet nothing big so your opionion is one in a million that no one cares about so get lost.""

and your just another ass with nothing valueable to say, and is just here being a jerk for the sake of it so eat sh!t...
 
That core he has was on a car that ran 12.8@114mph. So i wouldn't call it cheap. Talking about the spearco design, they didn't do a good job on how air travels thru for the radiator. It's a very restrictive design, i'm a rx7 guy, so all the air that needs to get to the radiator is a big thing. The car that he got the IC now has the Greddy crore on it. The RType24 one.
 
LOL 12.8 is nothign to a dsm these days. every core sucks with getting air to the rad its just something you have to deal with.



NOW LETS GET BACK TO THE LSD AND HELP THIS GUY IN NEED THATS WHAT THIS THREAD IS FOR. THANKS JIM

Where in the hell did i say the spearco cores were crappy? Spearco is not my choice of cores, i rather go with other ones outhere. Ones that let the air flow better for the radiator, I'm not just wanting to do 1/4 miles times, I'm looking for autox, road racing, were overheating becomes an issue, and the more air the radiator gets, the better. I'm no noob, i've been modding imports since 1996, were most of the stuff wan't really available and it was mostly a trial and error thing.
 
this thread has about as much direction as a drunken blind hobo on a merry go-round..

LOL mods must be asleep...:laugh:
 
For whoever started this thread, yes go for the Phantom or BMT lsd, you will like it when you get it install. Best bang for the buck. Go do a search on other vehicles they use it on.
