LSD mods

in the process of trying to sort a diff out. im looking for some information, what sort of power are the e30 diffs good for? is there a different between small and large case?
i need something that will not break with lots of power, but dont want to use a m5 as there very heavy.
and can the diffs be rebuilt to a 2way drift style diff, what types do the drifters on here use. thanks.

I can't specifically answer those questions but you might find this thread interesting / useful.

Hiya, i've machined several sets of ramp angles in lsd out of 325's i used a ford clutch pack in mine the ramp angles made it lock up superbly well too. if you're interested i could be tempted to machine yours.

thanks kevo may def be interested in that. does it make it better for drifting or circuit driving. anyone still know what max power the diffs can normally handle.

If your going for big power in an E30 and wanting an LSD - why not sorce an E28 LSD, mostly come in 3.07 irc - all that's needed doing is a change of back plate for the E3o one and a new back plate gasket.

if your wanting a decent LSD, ditch the shitty OEM style and get a plate style locker. TranX or Gripper. i suppose an quaife ATB would also be mucho better than standard, albeit not as good as a plate type.

what about those obx ones that are or flee bay from the states, are they any good or are they just cheap chinese rubbish.
kevo could i also have a price on that diff rebiuld as well, as now very interested. sounds like a good set up.
