I think an update is in order here,
delicious TORSEN LSD.
man do these things work well.
i have traction in ALL gears
including 1st
although the engine doesn't load up that well in 1st.
this is on a warm day on sticky Tarseal of course. and in a straight line.
surge tank mounted but unfinished plumbing.
It is complete now but stinks the car out because of the non efi hoses i used on the low pressure side. will change them soon.
8 550 RX7 Series 5 injectors yet to be fitted..
now for some electrickery,
the T56 gearbox speed sensor is a VR type sensor which is fine but there are 17 teeth on the ring so that 17 signals per driveshaft revolution.
the toyota speedo is expecting 1.2 signals per rev so the speedo corrector
unit that i perchased from Jaycar did not have enough adjustment.
so i had to make a speedo corrector corrector......
as simple as a pair of CMOS 4017 counter/deviders in series intercepting the signal as it exits the main chip on the speedo corrector.
so far 50kph is resonably accurate and ive no reson to suspect it wont continue to be accurate past the 180kph mark on the JDM speedo.
the car is a hoot to drive but you need to give yourself allot of room as it accelerates well past most speed limits with ease.
its having its cert inspection this thursday and i am taking it to a local track day 2 sundays later so you can expect some vids..
like these buts with more light:

I am used to the tripple plate clutch now, and although it is a real pain in the arse from stand still the engine and box respond very well to it.
