What Sort Of Diff Centre Have I Got Here

[dbr11k]

can anyone tell me if this is an LSD just by looking at it? pretty sure its an s series as the carrier has 8 bolt holes. I've done a burnout with this diff and it span one wheel all the way to third.. when jacked up only the wheel that is being spun will turn, the opposite side stays still.

S series don't have an LSD option

I know this, but is this an LSD? Can you tell if it is just by looking at it? It doesn't look like any other s series I've seen before..

Here is a pic of my open t series..

There actually was a TRD LSD available for an S series but incredibly rare for all the reasons you can imagine.

 

I have no idea what that is, but doesn't look like a stock S series centre? Could it be one of those tayell automotive thingies?

top yours, bottom my open s series center.

 

looks the same to me.

Not positive this is right, but if the motor was in gear so the tailshaft wouldnt spin, and the other wheel was in the air as well, if it was an open centre it would have had to have been spinning the opposite direction??? Sounds like maybe a stuffed l.s.d.

 

Alos, your 'open' t series doesnt look very open now haha.

You just answered your own question, if one wheel spins its open, well if it WAS an LSD it is a shagged one.

blueKsev not necessarily as with an open diff centre if both wheels are off the ground and its in gear with the engine running the so called "drive wheel" can be spinning and the other can stay still or barely turn at all.

if only one wheel spins it doesn't mean much, if it's in neatral even a little bit of brake drag will make it spin the tail-shaft instead of the other side.

Haha thanks guys, either way its getting the mig treatment as well :P
