Adding LSD to non-LSD car
I am looking for some advice on which would be the better way to go.
I have been working on my HHR build for some time. I have the suspension and brakes done, and solid motor mounts. Traction in a straight line is adequate with good tires. But I am still having issues in turns. Would it be better to have a quaife installed or just pick up a used G85 transmission? I know the quaife installed by itself would be significantly more expensive, but I need to upgrade my clutch, so I figured I would have it done at the same time to cut down on labor. I would like to get all of this sorted before I start adding anymore power. Any help is appreciated! |
People that can help will want to know: is this a daily driver or a race car, what kind of competition, what "issues in turns"?
I don't know much about it, but wouldn't LSD make for more problems in turns? I thought LSD is for straight line acceleration. |

you're thinking of an actual locker, where it locks both wheels to turn at the same speed no matter what.

Is it possible to post pictures of the install? Would like LSD in my automatic.

I took it to a tranny shop to do it or I would have taken some |
I am going to guess, but you might need to row your own gears for LSD. I don't personally know of LSD applications in FWD automatics. I hope to be proven wrong...
