G6 E Turbo Diff Update

[Ford_Power]

It's worth noting that the TC for the non-LSD equipped cars has a different mode of operation to the LSD equipped cars.

1) In the non-LSD equipped cars, the TC actually brakes the spinning wheel, in turn directing torque to the wheel that isn't spinning (as well as cutting spark etc)

2) In the LSD equipped cars, the TC brakes BOTH wheels concurrently so as not to direct the force to any one wheel more other wise it will damage the LSD.

The result is that when you fit an LSD to the G6ET, the TC system is going to attempt to brake the wheel that spins first - trying to direct torque to the opposite wheel; but it will actually be "fighting" the LSD as it is trying to lock the wheels together.

It's fine to put an LSD centre in, but if you are planning on giving it a bit, I would turn the TC off, else you will shag your LSD in no time.

Cheers,

Ross... what happens if both wheels break traction at the same time?

[Ford_Power]

In reality, both wheels may well break traction, but there will always be one wheel spinning more than the other - because of this, the TC system will still operate as per what I have written in my earlier post.

Assuming that they were spinning at same time, (eg LSD-equipped car, and LSD fully locked) the engine power will be reduced via throttle / spark cut in order to stop the wheels spinning.

I always turn my T/C off when I get in the car unless I am cruising with the family or need the T/C protection at high speed on a windy road. Problem solved

I have a g6e turbo and I can get my hands on a LSD assembly to suit the m86 diff just wondering if the g6e have the m86 diffs and if this is all I need to make the car LSD?

[djqc]

You will need an LSD centre. The gears will bolt in no problems
