I am building a ls3 powered road car and am running low on funds, so I was looking into the obx helical. Not only is it a low cost alternative but it won't require a rebuild like a clutch type. I am mainly wondering if anyone is even putting 600hp through the OBX or even the S15 helical.

If anyone knows of any other maker of a non clutch/viscious lsd or useable info about the OBX(there site sucks) please inform me.

I have an R34 helical diff in my 240. I'd trust it over the OBX all day long.

Not sure if you've seen this thread or not, but whatever.

zer...age=1

If you're on a REALLY tight budget, maybe a welded diff? That's what I have now, but it's pretty "ghetto" haha.
