Kaaz 1.5 Lsd Feedback

[konect]

Just a quick update. Have now done over 1200 k's in the diff and have also changed the oil just after 1000. I'm so happy with this Kaaz diff it rarely chatters any more only on really sharp slow turns.

I had my 2 way installed at around the same time as you. Have noticed that when its cold there is almost ZERO clunking and is very tight. However after a lengthy drive (when the oil heats up) I found it to be very loud. Doesnt bother me though, still locks up when required

Yeah same when cold NO chatter whats so ever.

I used Penrite LIMSLIP SAE 85W - 140 about $23 from autobarn.

sorry to highjack but is anyone running the Cusco MZ diff? I ask because Nengun are having a special on them $880 I think... I have had enough of the stock 33 diff, its even worse with sticky tires:(

[Kinks]

if you get no chattering when cold sounds like you need to run thicker oil in general?

Thicker man that shit is pretty thick. Don't really mind the odd chater

[Busky2k]

Yep its normal for the KAAZ not to chatter when cold. I believe the oil is too thick for the clutch plates to function correctly.

My 1.5 chatters to all buggery once hot. First time passengers think a wheel has fallen off or something!

I will be adding some of the Redline LSD additive to quiet it down a bit because my car is primary a streeter, not a track warrior. The additive makes the oil a bit more slippery, and thus the clutch plates don't grip as easily.

I'm about to change the oil in my kaaz 1.5 too...hopefully it quietens down alittle...i can take some clunking but its ridiculous atm...

Update on oils.

I changed all my fluids after my little radiator xploding effort.

I used Redline Diff oil for the diff, as some oil leaked out during massive burnout session.

DO NO USE REDLINE DIFF OIL IN THE KAZZ DIFF.

It's too light and makes the plates slat together, meaning EVIL banging and tail shaft wind up and it's just plain bad.

I changed back to the Castrol Racing SAF stuff, and it's fine again.

Yeah I heard that red line is not good for clutch driven LSD's so I stayed away.

I think the general rule of thumb with redline is that is good for old warn parts, for eg. I have red line in my gearbox as it used to crunch 5th, but anything new stay away from it.

Just my 2 cents

[Busky2k]

What Redline oil in particular did you use Bass Junky? Hey btw was that you doing the continual donuts to the point where the car blew up?

[180bfj20det]

Whats the point of these LSDs if theyre so tight and you cant go around a corner without sounding like you have justed welded your diff? I have a locker, it does its job, but Im sick of chirping everywhere, chewing tyres and was hoping to upgrade to a nice lsd...but if theyre going to be like a locker whats the point?

[Bass Junky]

I used the Redline LSD diff oil.

It was too lightweight.

The Castrol is the XA stuff. The extreme duty stuff.

It's tops.

[Bass Junky]

and yes, that was be who blew up my car.

Well, my radiator anyway.

[blackrex]

I ran the KAAZ 2 way in the rear and 1.5 way in the front of my (plus their upgraded center diff) in my STi, and it clunked to buggery, even though the diffs where properly bedded in. I have since removed them to as I couldn't addjust my driving style to suit the operation of the diffs.

my mate has a kaaz 2way lsd in his ae86...

after installing it, he put in the kaaz oil ran the car in (the way it says in the kaaz book, figure of 8 etc for 30mins i think) then changed the oil after the run-in and its fine doesnt make much sound at all very very streetable...

if you dont run the lsd in right and change the oil after the runin you can damage in the lsd, u will find that after the runin the oil will have fine sharms of metal in it

Also, you have to change the LSD oil every 5000km, or else it start to become noises, i notice this in my mates ae86, we then change it and uses REDLINE oil and found that the redline oil causes the lsd to bit nosies and to lock more (if u get me)

If i was ot run a kaaz lsd i would only uses the KAAZ oil or something very similar to it

Cheers Michael

the 30min of figure 8 run in is very important. my mate s13 has a kaaz 2way, he properly ran it in and has no noise from the diff except for very tight turns like car parks, or U turns etc. he's also using genuine kaaz lsd oil too

[MANWHORE]

there was a place that my friend bought it from 1050 for the diff (2way kaaz) + 150 to install in sydney.

I can't remember the place though.
