Hi all,

I was wondering how much abuse a standard ( uprated) ford LSD can take?
Going to buy myself a cts box but thought a stage 1 with an uprated ford lsd would be fine if i don't trash it every week.

The engine it's going on is a 2.0 ZVH running about 1.3 bar.
As the difference in prices between stage 1 and stage 2 (only difference is stage 2 has an quaife dif) is a lot i was wondering if i could get away with the stage 1 box....

Thanx all..

Gregor

nobody?

Should be fine mate if you not planing on launching it every where

Gregor

Thnx...

Plan is tot use it mostly in the weekends only and tot trash it a quarter mile like a couple of times a year at most...

going for that one my self

Gregor

What kind of power you running?

now it is just cvh power: 180-190 bhp

But my zvh that i am building, it is around 250bhp

Gregor

Ok and you'll use the stage 1 box?

My ZVH is currently kicking 215 bhp @ o.7 bar but it ll be close to 250 or so @ 1.3 bar wich it's going to make this summer...

The guy who sells them keeps telling me the ford uprated dif would be to weak ( especialy because the zvh produces masses of torque ) ...... well depending on how you drive it i guess...

What's your oppinion?

well, I am not sure.. it cant be so weak or? now werry hard driving.. but the stg 2 box cost the dobble of the stg 1.but yeah, better to dont waist the stg 1 box first and then buy a stg2 box later. but have sent an email and then we see.

Gregor

Ok thanx...

But the internals of the boxes of both stages are the same, only difference is the quaife dif.

If the uprated ford dif gets knackered i can always replace it later and won't have to buy a whole new box i.m.o.

Cheers

did say the same to me. stg 2 box

Gregor

thought so... stil gonna order the stage 1?

sheps

Im running 234ft lb torque on my 1.6, and my diesel box with lsd has stood up to well over a year's worth of abuse and hard launching.

my gearbox is standard and has coped with 252 lbs/ft of torque for the last 3 years and doesnt even rattle!!! if and when it decides to let go i WONT be goin for the Quaife ATB thats for sure.

Gregor

So what you're saying is just go stage 1 because the dif can handle the bhp/torque fine?

thanx

i think Christian even with his 300+ bhp doesnt use an ATB diff! sure he'll correct me if i'm wrong!!
and after driving one with an ATB i really dont want one!!
