I do not think this is correct. A torsen will apply a torque split to the drive wheels. If the torque split exceeds the Torsen's maximum bias ratio, the torsen will lock up, trasnfering all power to the most loaded wheel. I think Kent Rafferty had this problem in low speed autocrosses, and drag racers have this problem running slicks. AFAIK the torsen is preffered in road racing.SoCalSupras said:The stock torsen is always sending more power to one wheel or the other.
A TRD LSD can essentially "lock" both wheels to be even.
A TRD LSD costs $950.
You don't see them used much, as $950 can buy alot of better things to help your car go faster, if that is what you are after.
That is incorrect. I spoke with Jeff Watson about the TRD LSD unit last week and he gave me a price of $850. There are also some extra misc. parts that will be required so you can count on it costing closer to $1000 without labor. Labor could run you another $500 if you pay a competent shop.greensoup2 said:I'm pretty sure Jay Marks Toyota sells them for around that price. Also Toysport had them listed on their web page at around that price under specials or something.
I believe that you are correct, Grant.Grant said:
