What is the whole purpose of the LSD differential? I'm confused

this thread is spectacular, wow what an impressive automobile, the quality of work is just staggering
i'm so lost with all that incredible work, jesus. just wow.
(01-04-2010, 03:59 PM)JTY Exhaust manifold done by KKDMotorsport
Turbo and manifold installed, looks much better than the original mini turbo
Around April 2009 it was time for first start.
Everything worked okay and the engine started nicely.
Video at youtube
I had some other projects whole summer and the 300SD was standing in garage.
But around December 2009 I decided it was time to re-start the project.
Everything else was ready, only intake manifold was missing, so it was time to start build and custom intake. I had in mind to use original turbo intake but noticed quite quickly that it was bad idea
So i started from scratch:
New intake fits nicely with new exhaust manifold:
As the turbo was without wastegate I installed and external wastgate:
Here are the latest shots from last weekend, made some thermal wrapping around manifold and few finishing touches:
Engine works nicely with boost, needs few things before going to dyno.
Also going to install my latest version of supermeter:

larsalan I guess I need to look at this stupid ass drip shit. What you have to like mess with those elements on the pump? What a fucking hassle. then use some wire to hold the throttle open or some shit?
Beautiful!
Did you bore out the ports on the head?
How much was that amazing exhaust manifold?

(09-12-2012, 06:56 PM)thegooch27 Very cool stuff indeed! With your supermeter, do you monitor TPC? Can you give a little info on your sensors like where you are mounting them and what kind you are using?

Would you be kind enough to share any photos/ details of the head work you did? I went easy on my head, the cutaway diagrams I've seen show really thin walls in the head.

(06-13-2010, 04:56 AM)JTY Some update, I installed a LSD unit in the diff
Few shots of the LSD unit:
Empty diff case
Looks good
Middle shaft seems to be in good shape
Spiders are pretty bad :roll:
LSD unit installed
Gear ratio
It's no much more fun to drive and it's very stable when you do an fast launch.

Love this! Hope I can do something similar with my engine one day!

You have a US speedometer! I want one that goes that high!

For the oil supply to the turbo are you feeding it full engine oil pressure or is the stock 2mm restrictor hole still in the system. I had an MP R444-2 and without the restricted it forced oil past the seals turbine and compressor side, I have some other issues to sort out as well but I need a new turbo as a result and want to go bigger than I had with my (6.5mm elements) I think the stock exh. Manifold is too restrictive, I don't see yours on the kkd website so do you know if its available still?
