I Know Theres A 2 Way Lsd Thread Every Other Day But

[rotarytt]

I'm trying to understand them better. thinking of a 2 way adjustable one.

when they lock do they lock tires at the same speed for example one wheel is going 60 the other 55 when locked and accelerating. your wheels are spinning at 70 and 65?

does it try to constantly make them spin at equal speeds?

my other theory is it can make the inside wheel spin even faster than the outside wheel depending on what you set it at the initial torque...

while braking does it unlock while the wheels are spinning at equal speed until a certain ratio is broken.

also just theoretically if entering a large roundabout and doing completing a 180 degree turn so your going the way you came from.

how many times would you expect it too lock and unlock. just feathering the throttle but cornering hard enough to break traction.

second example. enter this corner full acceleration braking hard then back on the throttle hard then using abrupt throttle input is it going to be unlocking and locking constantly more or less locking and unlock compared to the earlier example?

finally you enter this round about at regular speed how much differently would it react to a open diff basically not touching any pedals just coasting through it.

why is it that people find these so hard to manage.

i hope this makes enough sense.

also is there a car that ever came with one from the factory. if not why?

when an lsd locks the axels spin at the same speed hence the word locked, with a two way the also lock when you back off, how aggressively they lock depends on how tight you adjust it to.

ok so theres a 5 kilometer diffence between the wheels. it locks with this 5 kilometer differnce.

forcing the faster wheel to travel the same speed as the slower one.

how long does it take until the wheels are free again.

do they ever unlock mid corner while accelerating. feathering the thottle?

does it take a whole revolution of a wheel to unlock or something

a 2 way will have the wheels both turning at the same speed whenever there is driveshaft input. put your foot down, they are locked. take your foot off with out clutching in, they are locked. the only time they will free spin is when the clutch is in.

when you go around a roundabout, with power applied they will be locked the whole time, the inside wheel will juts go ch ch ch ch ch ch and skip.

lockers are never on factory cars as it is illegal and certainly not what most people want in a car.

they are hard to manage (in some people's eyes) as the inside wheel can force the outside wheel to slide out when cornering in the wet, hence making the tail kick out, and because they can promote slight understeer when entering a corner in the dry. IN MY OPINION these characteristics are not a problem when you are aware of them, and lockers (even weldy's) are not dangerous for a driver that is knowledgable and knows he/she has one.

they also shudder and make a lot of noise during low speed cornering.... i.e. carparks etc

Rear GTR diff is a standard mechanical 2-way although not an overly aggressive one...
