    The Quaif diff is an LSD???

    Or are you asking if a Quaif aftermarket LS diff is better than a stock LS diff. If that is your question I would stick to stock if you can. If not an LSD from Quaif seems to be a strong choice.

        Do some research on different types of LSD.

        This is a good start... but by no means an exhaustive resource.

        Quaife is only one type of LSD design. It is a brand. There are many other brands and styles out there. Learn what is best for your application... and make sure you can actually use it for the particular transmission you intend to use.

        Going by the fact that you haven't even spelled Quaife correctly, I KNOW that you haven't done much research... and the fact that the one guy to offer you advice did the same thing shows that he knows little more than you do!

          the best advice i will give is to get into autocrossing and get a spool installed into your tranny...lol. If you read anything on LSD you will understand what I just said.

          Quaife cost money but is one of the best proven LSD for us. OBX and others makes LSD aswell as factory honda.

              thats what i meant. A spool is a type of LSD but you will have a very hard time turning the wheels with a spool. It basically just locks the wheels into going straight. Good for drag bad for everything else

                  Whatever quiff, quaife.... I forgot the E is that better Mr. Perfect!

                  I could care less how you spell it. To me any aftermarket LSD is just a waste of money for most peoples builds anyway you spell it. Unless your actually racing somewhere other than the street. Or you just have money to burn and want to be able to say you have a quiff in your car! Otherwise known as the driver/owner!

                      I take it that you never drove an accord with LSD installed.

                        Why is it a waste of money? Do you like transferring torque to the wheel that has the least resistance?

                        It's not about being perfect. It's about knowing what you're talking about. If you don't even know the name of the product, how can you claim to know anything about it?

                        Do you know what he is building? I do. I know about what he's asking about, AND why he is asking about it.


                        The stock Honda LSD isn't a bad unit at all. However, it's not made for high horsepower. It may hold up... or it may not. BLKWLF is planning on going with a Type S setup. If he can manage to get the stock Type S transmission to work in a CB, he will have a fairly new stock unit. If he has to go with a regular H22 transmission, as I have suggested (to make things easier), he will potentially be using a 14 year old LSD. Put 350hp through that and it won't last all that long.


                        Different types are good for different things. To say the stock one is all you need is idiotic. You have to take into consideration what it will be used for.


                        Quaife is the most versatile. It is the most commonly used one for street cars, and seems to require the least amount of maintenance. The OBX unit is supposedly a crude copy of the Quaife.

                          Honestly I've heard less complaints about Quaife than any other LSD for the honda. OBX high point is its price not its quality.

                            Yeah, very true. I've heard that you can rebuild a new OBX and it's reliable... but I'd spend for the Quaife.

                            Quaife is the most versatile. It's tried, proven, and reasonably priced (in comparison to others, which are as much or more). I've heard that it can't handle quite as much power as some others, such as Kaaz (which requires rebuilding and regular fluid changes). Still, for most applications (and I've known some pretty high-power cars to have them) Quaife is the #1 choice.


                            Personally, I would go with Quaife.
