Gilli Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Want to fit a LSD to the escort as it looks like i'm gonna have to change the CWP anyway cause its on the way out. Just wondering which type of LSD to get? Im running an english axle with about 160hp for fast road use and maybe a few track days too. Recommendations please and where to get it... Cheers folks
sambo Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 In my limited knowledge mate, i would say a plate type slipper. I got one a while back and it was the best thing i ever bought!! not sure where to get one though mate, try some of the specialists in classic or retro ford mag.??

MK2Ed Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Best type of LSD? Double dip Purple Ohms were good-strawberrys too lol!! Dennis the menace and rhubarb & custards oh sorry that was E's... No really, bought a Tran X for mine, plate type, it works well although took a while to bed in but offers all the usual LSD advantages - came from Peter Lloyd Rallying: http://peterlloydrallying.co.uk/index.php?cPath=16

Alan G Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Gilli, For us Irish lads, I think Montgomery Motorsport up north are the best for getting Tran X LSD's from... Check out their website... I think it's www.montgomery-motorsport.co.uk

Stu_B Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 2.8 capri is not an english axle mate yes but it still has a limited slip diff in it! so what type is the limited slip diff in the 2.8 capri special? Dunno but my mate was telling me that theres a 2.8 axle in a scrappers near me - £75.
J_mk1 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Quite suprised no one has mentioned quiafe in this thread yet I work at a transmissions companys so im quite clued up about LSD's (well the thoery anyway). And ive been taught that you cant really beat a plate-type LSD for the track. However, a torque biased diff works on a gear mechanism and will never need servicing. This is the kind of diff you will find in fancy road cars. So if its a race car go for a plate type, if not get an ATB
