Can't say I'd trust one, but our market continues to expand. Someone have at it and let us know how long till it breaks or not.
Wonder what the gear ratio is....

We are going to all donate $10 via paypal to Adam H. (drjones) for a OBX LSD. I'll keep updating this list and as long as we have enough people to make it worth-while, we'll all forward the $$$$. Adam's job will then be to beat the shit out of it and try to break it which we all know he is capable of. (along with a write-up regarding qualitt/fit/finish/etc)
OBX claims a lifetime warrenty against manuf defects, I'm not sure if that covers high hp mk3's but I guess we'll try to find out.
that's interesting.....the pix on those ads do look generic, but then again most diff units are pretty much all the same. the one in the original post looks like it COULD be an A70 diff, i'll have to count bolt holes....
I thought that's what we were doing, obviously some people did send money already, but that's fine. If you want to contribute, LMK and I'll put you down
Put me down for sure. I just bought a T1 Torsen and I'd like to know about the other "torque-sensing" options should mine blow up. * I think you should clarify the first post and change it to OBX "Helical / Torsen" diff, so people know what we're dealing with here in case they don't see the ebay ad. Cheers - B.
I was almost left stranded At SILV last year thanks to a Helical/Torsen Diff blowing up at 300 RWHP from my torqueless 1jz. If you want some Helical Diffs, I have complete torsen diffs for sale for 300 plus shipping! You dont have to spend a dime on installing the OBX diff in your housing and watch it blow up.

as already known, the T-1 from the JZA70 does not cope well w/shock loading....if you do some research you'll see that the honduh guys are having pretty good luck w/the OBX helicals, the potential for a GOOD helical for the A70 certainly exists....don't be too quick to generalize the performance of an early generation helical to more "modern" ones....
If you guys are really interested in getting this thing tested I would be willing to put up half the cost of the unit and cover the installation in mattonedimes Supra. I know you guys have already sent money but we can get this ordered immediately and installed and running within the next 1-2 weeks. Let me know what your think. Matt is running about 550rwhp. PM me and I will get ordered immediately.
Excellent, if Robert can get it for nothing and Jawsgear can assemble it so that we know it's assembled right, and MOD can beat the crap out of it, we should have a good idea if it's usable.
