hi,
does anyone know the best place to get an lsd for an fc turbo II, mine does not seem to have one!?
thanks
I was chatting to prof about this, apparently you can take the FD diff apart and take the gears and swap it into the FC housing, this will give u a better diff, if you get 1 of those super duper aftermarket 1s u kinda lose some drivability :)
FC turbo II is LSD anyway lol just a less efficient sort :)

Are you sure they are LSD? I always thought they were but have been told since that not all of them are and an original one is £££\'s to buy. I would like to find out once and for all.
Turbo II (and in UK the Turbo II vert) and US Convertible got a Viscous LSD, but as M1tch said you can put the Torsen unit from an FD in the housing - not sure how much if any extra work is required.
Also McPie has done a complete FD lsd into FC swap if you do a search of the 2nd gen section.
Profs idea requires less work though!
I like the idea of swapping the internals around :)
Im gonna be dropping the whole rear off the car soon, may have to think more about the diff swap :rolleyes: Qualified garage job I know, but would this make the car handle better (acceleration & braking) or is it more that it is more efficient with regards to drivetrain loss?
thanks for the replys lads, so how much do stock fd rear diffs go for then? or how much should i pay for one? i fancy having a go at swapping the internals too!
I have seen complete diff & internals for FD\'s sell for £100 on ere :)
for the record
As I had few diff and some of them was FD I found some thins that fd lsd was in FC NA case! tha\'s why I had to
a) take a flansh from Turbo diff wich connect to driveshaft and make it short as NA
b) I had to use FC NA see pictures :)
c) rebalance diff
that was my broken tii
