try searching... this question has been answered quite a few times. I know these guys get sick of answering the same questions over and over... thats why you always see stickies telling you to search first...

Hey cool down and try google. You would have found your answer a lot faster. The answer is on this forum and just about every other forum out there. Don't be lazy and dont be childish and start callin names.

In no way was ImJoe D1ck, he just told you to search, usually people freak out on people for not searching. He didn't so calm down a lil, it's the internet it's your friend use it.

That's tight, search on this page sucks.

I suggest that the "senior" people who get angy about newbies asking questions spend their time ORGANIZING answers by topic rather that bitching at people.

WILL BE TIME BETTER SPENT.

I like the fact that imjoe only has 11 post and he's bitching people out like he's an admin.

I like the fact that you think someones post count matters, ok he has 11, you have 5. No one got angry, if you think he was mad then you have no idea what could of happened. Grow up.

First off the guy just suggested the search for next time. Maybe he didn't know about LSDs so he was givin the newbie advice. Why are you arguing about it? I clicked on this to see what the differences in LSDs were and I walked into a childish argument. Sure the search sucks but you can find what you need. And if you don't use the search it's all good. You will just have to wait until someone knowledgeable wants to answer it. So veterans let the newbies wait. And newbies don't jump at the veterans you have so much to learn! And for the record I still consider myself a newbie of sorts.

And lets answer questions here on Nico please. Nico Rocks!

Please. Whats the difference in a 1.5 to a 2 way? 2 way is active LSD on acceleration and deceleration? And 1.5 is one full active and the other selective? Am I right?

This should help, and not at all trying to be rude here but this took me two minutes of searching.

EDIT: ^ beat me too it... it only took him 2 minutes, and me about 5 while eating a BLT.

you guys are such a joke sometimes.... the search works.. or you could just read some stickies and get the answers.

I'll be nice and hook you guys up with this very secret and hidden information

zerothread/139711 Scroll down till you see the section about LSD.

and just in case clicking a link is as hard for you guys as using the search button...
Liquidus wrote: Limited Slip differential, connects the two wheels together when they lose traction. With an open diff only one wheel spins, the other is just dragged along. Open differentials are frustrating and boring to drive.

1-way: Connects the wheels together only when you are pressing the gas. If you are off the gas they can move at different speeds.

1.5-way: Connects the wheels when you press the gas, but allows more difference in wheel speeds when you aren't pressing the gas. Hence the 1.5 way, connects when on the gas, connects partially when off. This is my personal reccomendation as it always has the wheels connected, but allows them to move more when off the gas so you can get a sharper turn in.

2-way: Connects the wheels when both on and off the gas. Some people like these but i think they create a little too much understeer. if you have a good suspension you can compensate, but you need good car control skills too to keep it under control.

Viscous LSDUses a viscous fluid that essenitally gets more viscous as the wheels turn different speeds. The thickening fluid connects the wheels together. This is okay if your on a budget, and alot of people use them, but most come out of older cars. The fluid in the LSD, like all viscous fluid, looses viscosity over time. Plus these don't hold all that hard to begin with. So get one if your on a budget, otherwise don't bother. Also, these are only 1-way.

Clutch typeThese use clutches to connect the wheels together. These usually lock very soon and very hard, which can create some understeer, but its also good for drifting once you get past that initial understeer. The hard and fast locking keeps both wheels spinning for good drifts. Popular ones are KAAZ and Nismo.

Torque Sensing (Torsen)These are a little more complicated then clutch types. Since they don't use clutches they don't need to be rebuilt. They don't lock as fast or as hard as clutch types, so their usually used more for autocross than drifting, but they work well and don't need as much maintenence. The only company that i know of who makes these is Quaife.
