So after reading Brad's install for his Mk3 Supra Torsen differential install into his IS300 I decided to give it a shot http://my.is/forums/f88/cheap-lsd-upgrade-mk3-supra-torsen-lsd-342673/. I eventually went to the junk yard to snag a Clutch type LSD out of a 89' Turbo Supra. Upon doing so I began ordering parts, which consisted of new bearings (As Brad suggested in his post), new clutch packs and washers, and various shims sizes for the shop to achieve proper backlash. So after about $300 in parts and $650 in labor, I went from a peg-legging car to an awesome 2-way acting track whore. I had the shop tighten up the differential as much as possible and let me just say its the best mod I have done to my car. The reason mine costed almost 1G is due to it never being done, the shop having to replace my Pinion bearings(worn down for whatever reason), and then misc stuff. You guys can do this swap whether it be the Clutch type or the torsen. Either way just as Brad did, I went outside the mainstream and I am very happy with the results. I have a Drift even at Thunderhill this week and I will return to you guys with pictures. (Rep is appreciated to both Brad and myself)
Thanks guys.
