The limited slip differential powers both drive wheels under nearly all conditions, instead of just one. With an ordinary open differential, standard on most cars, a lot of precious power is wasted during wheelspin under acceleration. This happens because the open differential shifts power to the wheel with less grip (along the path of least resistance).
The LSD, however, does just the opposite. It senses which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel. Power to the ground!

It senses which wheel has the better grip, and biases the power to that wheel. It does this smoothly and constantly, and without ever completely removing power from the other wheel.
In drag-race style, straight-line acceleration runs, this results in a close to ideal 50/50 power split to both drive wheels, resulting in essentially twice the grip of an ordinary differential.
The LSD biases power to the outside wheel, reducing inside-wheel spin. This allows the driver to begin accelerating earlier, exiting the corner at a higher speed.
LSD also controls loss of traction when the front wheels are on slippery surfaces such as ice and snow or mud, providing the appropriate biased traction needed to overcome these adverse conditions. The LSD provides continuous and infinitely variable drive.
Power is transferred automatically without the use of normal friction pads or plates seen in other limited-slip designs.
no its not............but a LSD can be installed
I belive that S1 transmission does not have LSD, the only transmission that I know of that has a factory LSD is the YSR tranny from a GSR Integra (92-93)
No
No. The difference is inside of the transmission.
No.
LSD disrupts the action of serotonin, a neurotransmitter. Exactly how this disruption works is not clearly known.
No. The ZE only came with an automatic transmission. However, there were a few LSD manual tranny MX6s in Japan. These transmissions are very rare and expensive.
I would say, Low, Second and Drive.
well the d16z6 comes with an s20 si transmission stamped a000 non lsd. the d15b could of came with the jdm s20 vti transmission stamped b000. depending on factory options when bought, could be lsd.
you can drift in any rear wheel drive car with a LSD and 200+ hp

The chemical in LSD is LSD. LSD-25 is the chemical. It stands forLysergic acid diethylamide
