Default LSD Transmissions...

With the stock b18c JDM tranny I hear they are only good up to 350WHP... is this true?

Who makes good aftermarket LSD tranny parts? I want to beef it up a little bit but it's also a daily driver. I need to be able to handle turbo eventually... 12PSI, hopefully 300WHP... I dont want to burn it out with the turbo. But, at the same time I need to drive this everyday.

Are there really any advantages in the LSD tranny? Any Horsepower loss?? I just basically need the 4-1-1 :fawk:

Thanks yall.

Quaife makes a very nice aftermarket lsd and it has a lifetime warranty. The oem lsd is good for more than 350whp.

lsd's help with traction, they prevent one tire fires.

awesome... i might look into the Quaife...

are the LSD tranny components the same? clutch, flywheel, pressure plate?

and can you use normal components in them? or do you need to buy a whole aftermarket tranny?

You just need to replace the stock open differential with the limited slip diff.

Everything is the same except for the differential.

I don't know of anyone that makes stronger guts for our transaxles, probably because 99.9% of people running a B18C are never going to overpower it anyway.

so i should just use my stock LSD tranny?

or is it worth it to get a new clutch/flywheel?

and if i do... i just buy a normal clutch/flywheel for a 1.8L 94-01 b18c?

1) Yes. If you paid for it, use it.
2) If you want to, have the need, and have the money, go for it.
3) Yes.
