mfactory review

[destineal]

how much is the welded dif vs the 600 or so for the Mfactory?

 

[yudkib]

practically the same, if i recall.

The Mfactory lsd is a Helical gear design which is greatly suited for FWD cars.

It reacts much faster and provides more traction under power than the stock lsd.

what does the gear design have to do with the LSD function? You lost me.

I don't have an LSD yet but I wanna hear what this thing does on dry pavement.

bump for a update

unfortunately i was not aware of the torque specs on the differential so what ended up happening was the ring gear got torn up and all the bolts on the differential holding the ring gear got shredded to hell. the diff is still good though if that tells you anything lol. im waiting to start my motor build before i put it back in.

Do you have the torque specs and would you recommend lock tight on those bolts?

 

[littlemimus]

**** yes. hahaha locktite the s*** out of them. i cant remember but sam has the torque specs for them on his forums let me find them.

edit: torque specs are 75 ftlbs. with blue locktite and use the criss cross star pattern when putting them on.

 

[Tuners and Rods]

Hmmm. Something to keep in mind. I'm about due for a clutch, and I'm tired of babying my car for fear of snapping my diff since it's my DD

 

[mattxhand]

Thanks for the review man. I really want it.

 

[littlemimus]

im telling you guys this thing is great lol.

 

[mjv4235]

I'm planning on getting this Mfactory LSD so this little thread was great to read.

 

[littlemimus]

i just put a new transmission with the mfactory differential in my car a few days ago. now my car is not turbo yet so the power output is much lower, but going from an open differential to this mfactory...its night and day. this car has never accelerated and handled the way it does now. the way it corners and grips the road is just amazing. i would highly recommend it to any of you. worth every damn penny i paid for it.

btw i have driven mazdaspeed protege's with the stock lsd and IMO it doesnt compare to the helical mfactory differential. hope this helps.

i have a set of nitto nt450 tires. got them for 400 shipped. very happy with their performance in both dry and rain. they grip very well.

edit: not to be a dick but this is a differential thread. question would be better for a new thread so you can get input from multiple people instead of thread jacking lol

 

[littlemimus]

GTFO OUT OF MY THREAD. haha jk idk man depends what you want to do or what you need the tires for. i dont track my car yet so i get some falken 911's i think. they are good street tires and reasonebly priced. but dam thats a good price for the nittos

 

[dacquesta1]

I'll go back through my emails and find the reciept for where I got them.
