lsd?????
I can only imagine this will be for a viscous lsd?I personally would not pay that much for one myself. I got my S15 helical for a little bit more than that and not only does it work, I don't have to worry about it's longevity.
To answer your question, yes it will fit. You need to either swap internals, or use the S14 housing with the S13 rear cover. I thought I heard of someone making aluminum bushings to eliminate slop from the nose end when this is done. Could be wrong.
Will you notice a difference?....well... I am biased against vlsd's for more than one reason. I have been known to wring several years of service life from them. They are wear items becoming less and less capable with hard use and time. A stock powered car can exceed it's capabilities, more power and bigger, stickier tires and you will be looking for a new diff. It's just a matter of time. Lastly, when finally worn, they can not be re-built. Not economically at any rate.
All that being said, tighten your belt for a bit longer. If you have $300 for stock vlsd, save up $200 more, and a whole lot more options open up for you. Used S15 helicals, new OBX helicals (not a piece of crap surprisingly), used clutch type lsd's that CAN be overhauled down the line. That's just a suggestion. Good luck with whatever you decide.

Re: (gumby74)
I'm with Gumby. S15 helicals are deffinately the way to go. Unless you wanna dole out the bucks for a carbon lsd (which you don't because you wanna buy a vlsd for 300), then that's what I'd do, but otherwise, ya Helical.
Re: (Leachguy)
What about a nismo 2way for OEM-open diff? Sure, it's 800, but is that going to break easy?http://www.optionimports.com/ni2waylsd892.html
