Wheel spin - Honda Prelude Forum

XKALIE · 10-23-2003, 09:58 AM

I was just wondering if both wheels spin with the same force like posie-traction, on our cars. For example, If I burn out will it result in a two line mark or one line. Hope you'll understand my question.

not without LSD

Our cars have an open differential sock at least. So there is nothign to keep one tire from spinning a ton and the other one not at all. You would have to get LSD to make it so both tires could break free at the same time.

No, seriously.... get a JDM LSD tranny.

better yet get a Kaaz (which I had, liked over the quafie) or get a quafie (which I also had, but Kaaz is better IMO)

But it might be cheaper just to swap transmissions with a JDM LSD transmission, especially if you're not qualified to to overhaul the transmission and replace the LSD. Typically, tranny disassembly and reassembly pays several more hours than just replacing it, plus remember that at least a Quaife costs around $900, where i'd imagine a transmission from a JDM 22 costs around 400, or 500 at most.

I have a 96 Si which transmission would be my best bet?

well getting a JDM tranny with the LSD means getting a transmission that normally bolts to a (JDM) H22, not H23. However, the transmission still bolts up, but because of VTEC, the tranny has slightly (.0x difference) taller (I believe...) 4th and 5th gears, as well as a slightly longer final drive. That's about all I know, but as far as price goes, it sounds like a better deal.
