Does this mean that Taza couldn't come up wit the money? I would love to know when he will pay me for his engine rebuild?? it's only been 6 months and now he's not even returning my calls. I think it's time to seek legal help.

What is a 20kg centre diff? , aside from the obvious.
What gearboxes does it suit?

niterida · Post by **niterida** » Sun Dec 22, 2013 4:00 am

Suits all Liberty / Impreza 5speed boxes. Its a clutch pack LSD with 20kg of clamping force which means it doesnt slip except under extreme load differences between front and rear wheels. Under normal driving it is basically a locked centre.

I thought it was viscous

How much did you want for it?

Its still a viscous, just has thicker liquid/more plates to provide more friction.

I am contemplating running odd size tyres for a while on the RX to ruin and lock up the viscous centre diff in it

lol. locking up is not the only mode of failure..

Oops yep its a Viscous coupling

Quote from MRT website :

According to MRT rally ace Brett Middleton, the 20kg/m VC makes a major difference to the WRX's on-road performance. However, note that moving to the 20kg/m VC without any other swaybar or suspension mods will cause the car to "understeer like a pig". More typically, however, vehicles requiring a STi VC already have adjustable swaybars and suspension - which can be tailored to suit the characteristics of the new coupling.

Once correctly set-up, it's claimed that your car's turn-in response should not be jeopardised, mid-corner stability will be slightly improved and - most noticeably - you'll be able to power out from the apex much more efficiently. Instead of spinning the inside front wheel as soon as you get on the power, the car will send torque to all four wheels and accelerate away. That also means that more throttle can be applied earlier in the corner.

We're told that WRX drag racing enthusiasts will also find improvements with a STi VC. Any full-bore launch with the 20kg/m coupling will give much reduced chance of wheelspin. Conversely, braking with the heavy-duty VC provides a more equal spread of braking force to each wheel. A by-product of this is that the Subaru ABS system will kick in much later, as there will be reduced tendency to lock an individual tyre. Brett says that handbrake turns become virtually impossible with the 20kg/m coupling - even with a hydraulic handbrake. He also suggests that the biggest disadvantage of the 20kg/m coupling - on a streetcar - is its low speed manoeuvring characteristics. With increased driveline lock-up, there is noticeable fighting between the front and rear wheels.

And they sell for around $1500 - so $500 is a bargain

I'm tempted but I HATE understeer. I also imagine it would cause increased tyre wear around town
