Are there any other LSD manf. otherthan RRM?

 

No. There's not actually a LSD made for our car, but rather, RRM takes one for another application and modifies it to work with ours. What application that is and what they do to it they have not shared, for obvious reasons.

 

100% market share is a good thing in their case..from the quaife site RRM is the only mitsu dealer.

 

Well, the cost is more or less in line with Quaife, so it wouldn't really matter either way.

 

it's impossible to be the only supplier of an LSD system,i'm sure with a little reserch we could probably find a company that makes one,it's only a matter of time.

i thought we already had limited slips? im pretty sure both my tires are spinning...

 

Unless they don't update their website, Quaife that is, Road race engineering is the only Dealer of Mitsubishi LSDs.

There are other ones out there ofcourse

 

my my my...........

in a standard open differential, the differential attempts to distribute the power equally across both wheels, but will prefer to send power to the path of least resistance. Hence in a corner the outside wheel is turning faster so most of the power is transmitted through it. This enables the car to turn smoothly, but has a major downside. Since the open differential will send power to the wheel moving the fastest, if one wheel is struggling for traction, it will get all the power. This means it is easy to spin a wheel with an open differential and once spinning, all power will be lost to the other wheel. This can make it difficult to get power to the road when accelerating hard and can make for instability during acceleration.

The other big downside is on the race track. In a hard corner, if one wheel loses traction (e.g, it lifts off the ground) and power is being applied, the open differential will transfer all the power to the wheel with no traction, uselessly spinning it. This is effectively like taking your foot off the throttle mid-corner and could cause the car to spin. A LSD gets over these problems by locking the driven wheels together when power is put down, but still allowing some slip for the outside wheel in the corner giving better traction under acceleration, more stable acceleration and power to all the driven wheels in a corner. More than that though, the LSD will give more stable braking by locking or partially locking the driven wheels under braking. This adds up to a more secure stable platform with better ability to get power to the road, which ultimately means faster lap times.

 

well now i feel like a dumbass! haha but thanks for that info...i actually have noticed instances with one side being in gravel...thanks dude
