LSD, Center Diff Come teach me

This won’t impact ESP. ESP triggers if there is a unbalanced acceleration it uses the maf and a calculation on several other inputs I’m pretty sure you would still need to turn off ESP of you wanted to do donuts like that.

I can honestly say I don’t think I have ever seen a more impressive display of awd audi donuts on dry pavement ever.

Just a friendly bump to remind Jake I’m still waiting for an answer to my question on AZ or here :slight_smile:
Thanks.

And another bump to try and get my question answered :slight_smile:

Here is what I got from CV when I asked. He said there is no effect on the interference with traction control. It’s not a clutch style so slow speed driving isn’t effected only when pushed are you going to notice the diff is really there

So when you’re doing a slow acute turn, are the rear wheels going to be turning at different rotational speeds or are they going to be turning at the same rotational speeds? If they’re the same, that’s not going to be weird? I mean, the outside wheel normally has to rotate faster to make up a greater distance even though the angular distance is the same for both wheels.

I apologize for the delay!

The LSD is not going to affect ESP in a negative way. Sure, it may happen less do to the rear wheels not being able to spin as easily. This is also a Limited Slip Differential, not a Posi, so slow sharp turns are not going to be an issue. (I have had posi units in my Camaros and slow turns would make the outside rear tire chirp when trying to turn, you won’t experience that with the LSD).

If you ever in another situation where I am not able to get back to your question as quickly as you would like online, please feel free to shoot me an email directly!

You will get the outer wheel to travel as long as you don’t give the car too much power. It’s a helical design so it has to have enough force to lock up. The clutch type works close to the same way but the clutch will wear out the helical won’t. Remember it’s a limited slip so it still slips at low speed or low input situations.

I want one.
