LSDiff...
Has anyone upgraded to the LSD or have it on order? I read a car mag article that the Turnermotorsport system was for sale, called them and they said it's been out for "a long time" for the 335, which surprised me since 1) it's a new car and 2) I sure dont see active posts in this forum regarding LSD.
It's $2999 plus install and core, etc, making this a very pricey add on. I may go with replacing the horrid RFT's first to see if any power can be put down with this car, but I doubt it ; think what the Proceede can do with LSD. Shiv, no LSD on your car? Why/why not? |

The Turner one has been around due to them racing the E90s in Grand Am. They have been racing the new 3 series since before the 335i was even in the picture.

OK my supplier is working out some prices. I recommend that everyone sticks with the stock ratio of 3.08. That ratio is better for a turbocharged 335i than say a 3.46.
With a 3.08 you can hold the gear longer and can "stretch" the power out better. A lot of high horsepower E36 M3 guys switch their ratios from 3.23 to a 2.93 or 2.79. Will post more info. as soon as I get a response. |

I believe OS Giken has an LSD for E90/92s.

The LSD acts differently by design from an open differential which leads me to believe that when DSC acts, it will get unexpected results and this may not be good. See the other post I put in the other LSD thread in the Under the Hood (NA-Engine) / Drivetrain / Exhaust Modifications section. Seems to me like the LSD and the traction control will end up fighting each other when traction is at a premium. Correct me if I am wrong. |
