How Kaaz LSD Works? Shared by Professionals at CJ Motor Accessories

There has been a lot of buzz about the latest Kaaz LSD and its function. Kaaz Sports is an award-winning organization that has been developing Limited Slip Differentials (Kaaz LSD) for many years and over this time they have learned all of the best practices in Kaaz LSD design and performance.

Below explains how Kaaz LSD work and the benefits of using. Much of this has been translated from the Japanese catalogs and also forms time that members of Limited Slip have spent with Kaaz engineers both in the UK and in Japan.

A standard Kaaz LSD in your vehicle is known as a free differential. This means that each wheel is free to rotate on its own. Should one wheel spin or go onto a muddy surface all the power is transferred to the wheel in the mud because as it is the easiest route for power transfer. The down side of this is that you lose traction and forward momentum. This is not an ideal situation in a competition even as you are looking for forward traction as much as possible.

Inside Kaaz LSD, there is a combination of special flexible plates and a pin in-between them. Then as the vehicle accelerates, the pin is pushed between the plates moving them out and in turn locking the diff, with a diff locked if the wheel goes onto a muddy surface then the plates work to put the power to the wheel that is not slipping. Also when you decelerate the pin moves to a new position and again passes the plates to give you good control under braking.

Types of Kaaz LSD We Supply at CJ Motor Accessories

2-Way Kaaz LSD:

For a rear wheel drive vehicle, the best option is a 2-way Kaaz LSD. In a rear wheel drive car on acceleration and cornering the pin pushes the plates out and locks the diff giving good traction to both wheels. Then should one wheel spin the power will be transferred to the wheel that is not spinning. Should both wheels spin under very hard acceleration say when performing wheel spin start or performing a doughnut or drifting the car then power is distributed equally to both wheels? With all this going on inside, you are able to perform these driving enjoyments. The car is more stable going into a corner and you will find faster exiting speeds. On some applications, a 1.5 Way Kaaz LSD is also an ideal option. The 2-Way Kaaz LSD is also a lot more beneficial for the high speed track driving, drifting, and other car sports.

1.5 Way Kaaz LSD:

For a front wheel drive car, the best option is buying a 1.5 Way Kaaz LSD which is also an ideal buying for motorsport driving. Just like the 2-Way Kaaz LSD upon acceleration the pin moves the plates out and locks the diff and in turn limits the wheel spin or slip. But upon deceleration the pin moves to a new position but only applies half the force as if it applied the full force the car would be unstable under braking and deceleration. When acceleration around a corner, you will feel the diff working for you and through the steering wheel you will feel the diff pulling you around the corner. This can be a strange feeling, but you will find that you also now have much higher exiting speeds. Besides 1.5 and 2-Way Kaaz LSD, the company also offers Kaaz solid type. The Kaaz Solid Type uses RS plates and offers a much better reaction time when a Kaaz LSD locks up.

Take some time to read about the Solid Type Kaaz LSD here:

A solid type Kaaz LSD is best suited drifting as it has faster reaction time, better power transfer and better grip characteristics benefit this type of sport. Below is a short example of the difference in a solid type Kaaz LSD:

  • Nissan, R200: This Kaaz LSD has 20 clutch plates compared to 8 in a standard type LSD and has a 250% faster reaction time.
  • Toyota IS200: This Kaaz LSD has 16 clutch plates compared to 12 in a standard type LSD and has a 133% faster reaction time.
  • Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution: This Kaaz LSD has 20 clutch plates compared to 12 in a standard LSD type and has a 167% faster reaction time.
  • Mazda RX7: This Kaaz LSD has 12 clutch plates compared to 8 in a standard type LSD and has a 150% faster reaction time.
