well here is a conversation I had with Dino, I hope he doesnt mind, if you do Dino and you read this please delete this..
razorsharkusa: estimated price? Dark0ne95: Same as a PG.. $300 razorsharkusa: damn razorsharkusa: serious? Dark0ne95: yeap. razorsharkusa: whats the basic theory behind it...better right? no danger of metal to metal grinding Dark0ne95: It's still a stock diff, just a better LSD design than a pg. razorsharkusa: oh so we have to use our own razorsharkusa: "?? Dark0ne95: a PG "locks" by applying metal-on-metal pressure. razorsharkusa: exactly Dark0ne95: there's no friction aid, just really high PSI coil springs and direct pressure. razorsharkusa: uhm.,.. not all that difficult to install razorsharkusa: compared to the pg? razorsharkusa: sorry if this is bugging ya , just really interested now Dark0ne95: This unit uses machined planetary gears and a specially designed friction material to more efficiently grip. Dark0ne95: less slip at lower spring pressures, making is safer to use for higher HP applications. Dark0ne95: You see, when the PG uses a 1200lb coilspring to apply metal-to-metal pressure, that's 1200lbs of force that is stressing on the diff housing itself, which can lead to failure. razorsharkusa: yet still usable for lower boost pressure users? razorsharkusa: i see razorsharkusa: how often is the expected lifespan for the friction material? Dark0ne95: This unit, which uses a special friction material to grab the planetary gears, can use much less spring pressure to afford the same if not better grip, leading to less stress on the dif itself. Dark0ne95: years. Dark0ne95: If you're interested, i can give you Carlton's email address. Dark0ne95: The name of the company is RLS. My contact there is Carlton McCrary. razorsharkusa: of course razorsharkusa: and we are going to be ordering directly from him? razorsharkusa: im on the waiting list... Dark0ne95: #########@hotmail.com Dark0ne95: he actually has a spare core diff right now that i sent him. Qwad is buying one as well. razorsharkusa: and you are happy with the results ? Dark0ne95: Very. razorsharkusa: ok so we receive the diff send our stocker back? Dark0ne95: it's a night and day difference.. i still spin lots of tire, but the car goes STRAIGHT. Dark0ne95: and in the corners.. omg. razorsharkusa: hehe wish i could do that razorsharkusa: i thought that you would wnat one tire to spin more then the other in a corner razorsharkusa: or am i wrong? Dark0ne95: Well, you may be able to work it out with him to use the spare core i sent him, and sent him your stocker, or you could buy it as a kit and just have the planetary gears machined down to take the lsd unit. razorsharkusa: so we have to have the gears machined ? Dark0ne95: You do, so the wheels won't bind up. However, it'll corner like stock until you stand on it. When it gets enough torque split to apply pressure on the planetaries, it just grips, noses down, and rips you through the corner. razorsharkusa: ok cool Ill talk to him then. Dark0ne95: The planetaries, where the axles go through, have to be machined flat. Dark0ne95: He'll do it, if you send him a diff, or if you can work it out to use the spare i sent him. razorsharkusa: oh one more thing...are the AT and MT diffs exchangeable? razorsharkusa: i have an AT right now. but im working on the MT swap Dark0ne95: i beleive the diffs themselves are the same, bu the ring gear is different.
see thats whats in my head, Im like a sponge. But I also go with what is proven ( and cheap). But for a bit more why not go for this? still less then 1K and suppose to work better then the PG. In theory. Member # 751
