LSD 4.10-4.30 with large turbo?

- Start date
well, I have a 60-1 on a 1jz and when I went from a 3.73 to a 4.30 I was so happy. The car pulled so much harder and was way more fun to drive. Me and Aaron from Driftmotion took my 3.73 lsd clutch pack and put it into a 4.30 open diff housing with gears, and made a custom 4.30 lsd. It works awesome and is the best thing that I have done to the car.
My stock ECU for whatever reason doesn't hit the limit till 7,032ish.nosechunks said:

Going to the track tomorrow with the current diff I have right now... see what it does, then I'll swap to the 4.30 and try it.
On an annoying note... tonight while slipping the clutch to practice launching, my RPS welded itself to the FW... :rofl:
So I just cranked the engine in reverse till it kicked it free.

I disagree. I swapped out my 3.91? (87 turbo) for a 4.10 JDM diff. The turbo reached full spool LATER in the powerband with less load, and since I ran out of gear/rpm faster, I was spending LESS time in the powerband sweet spot, and this is even with a CT 57 trim. When the Torsen diff broke, I was much happier back to my stock diff. Big turbos NEED that load and time under load. With a really laggy turbo, I bet you'd only get 400 RPM worth of full boosting before you redline on a 4.30 (just my hunch, I'm not an expert mind you)
Perhaps for a drag-purpose only car, it might work out somehow, but on the street, it is annoying.
