quaife lsd/message for bigelboe,turbo11,turbocab

[craybait]

trawling the old forum index and in 2006/2007 noticed some action on these.What was the outcome i.e did they fit a t1,or t2 box,how much machineing was involved.What are they like to drive when fitted.

[turbocab]

gingernuts and i purchased them there was a few hundred dollars of machine shop work involved in fitting them and it was worth every freaking cent almost doubled my corner speed even with old tired suspension.
cant wait to see how it goes with my bigelboe coilovers and 215 toyo proxis tyres!
i believe that we got the last two(dont quote me on that)but ime pretty sure they were sitting around on their shelves for years and they had a bit of a cleanup and flogged them off might be worth a try to get your hands on one from memory the part was $800 or so(half normal price) and three hundred or so for the re drilling and welding of the big ring gear thingy.
cheers matt

If Quaife suggest 2 x QDF3U would make it cheaper, let me know.

Currently listed as £585.00 (Unit price exc. VAT) + shipping

That is about A$1200 + shipping at the current exchange rate.

There is one other Diff on there that had the right general dimensions as well, I think it was one of the Civic/CR-X ones.

[craybait]

Thanks guys,am off to england in a couple of weeks,and hope to pick up a lsd[or 2] for my t2,does anyone know the weight.Also the correct numbers,if the crx lsd fits better with less work that would be good
cheers

i would think both Civic and CRX diffs would be the same they use the same motor,

any LSD that fits EW motored gearbox ie 84 - 87 civic and crx with the SOHC 1500 not the DOHC will fit its GW box code.

not sure about anything else would guess that GA city and D series would be close, best thing to do in that case would probably be to take a T2 gearbox apart and take the diff head with you so they can compare it and find the best fit.

[James]

You won't find one that drops in, I can't remember how much work the CR-X one needed, definately wasn't less but it might have been similar. Use the pictures in my original thread and the drawings off the quaife website to compare.

[3GCVC]

what model CRX is it for D series or dohc ZC i assume?

[James]

Had a look at the quaife website and the Civic/City one is still listed. I suggest you get in contact with them craybait and you can find out if they are in stock and how much they weigh. They may also have to manufacture itso you will want to give them warning.

[craybait]

They have 2 in stock and the price is the same for one or two[for pro t]the weight they say is 5 kg.I fly out june 7 back june 28 via london

[craybait]

Picked one up in England,the only small hitch was they forgot the form to get the vat back,so watch out.[the extra 15% hurt]
I hope to find a spare T2 gearbox to fit it up,so I will put it in my T2 towards december when I will do an engine freshen on the T2.
Any instructions on the machining to fit would be appreciated and any leads on a T2 box in Perth would appreciated

[craybait]

hey turbocab/gingernuts,am about to try and get the lsd fitted into a T2 box any more specific instructions instuctions as to what your machine shop did ,thanks

[turbocab]

ile send gingernuts an email and get him to post here,all i did was post him the diff and pay him some cash.

[craybait]

Thanks turbo cab, i have the drawings just after some rough directions so the gearbox guys don't lathe down the wrong bit
