SR20det in a E30 ?

We swap the old M20 for a more efficient, weight distribution/power/cost. This was definitely a great choice. We achieved a 1060KG with a perfect 50/50 front/rear balance.

Limited Slip Differential vs Full lock

Simon R — Thu, 08 Sep 2016 17:05:36 +0000

The big difference between LSD and Full lock is mostly the cost and the availability.

OEM used LSD's can be find easily at low cost but not always in good shape or strong enough to dispatch equally the power of your engine to your wheels.

Aftermarket LSD's are available in many size, style, quality and lock strength. Viscous, friction and geared can be found depending on car model. Remember, you got what you payed for. Cheap = cheap.

Full lock's are the most affordable options. Mini spool type are easy and its a non-permanent mod. Weld lock is the cheapest mod, it can be done by any good welder. He just need to fill between spider gear teeth, not more ( keep in mind, spatters can ruined your differential, so avoid welding projection inside the diff as much as you can ). It keep spider gears together. Generally, axles are hold only by 2 spider gears. Joining these gears together will force your two axles to turn at the same speed at any time.

Why twin calipers ?

Twin calipers is the top quality Handbrake, it give you full braking power without any returning pressure like an inline hydro set-up. Twin caliper bracket are easy to install and low cost. You can use junkyard or rebuilt oem caliper to fit directly to your car for a good and reliable hydraulic handbrake. For the Hydraulic master cylinder now, I suggest the smaller sized available ( 0,625in bore ) or 0,750in bore maximum. You don't need big bore size simply because its only a hydraulic displacement question. You need big pressure not big displacement in hydraulic handbrake system.

I like E30 chassis for the size and low cost aftermarket parts
