TRD I believe makes one for the GT. Kinda hard to get and about $800-$900. Phanton grip will also make you a custom one for about $350. Its probably not going to be quite as good as the TRD one (I believe its a torsen) but still pretty good....a lot better than nothing.

kaaz makes one for the gt and st, i read on the club4a site that kaaz systems are the best bang for the buck. i can't remember the name of the site that i found them at but i got the site from an issue of super street. i believe they carry the 1.5 way limited slips. but spedtoe would know more about whats better.
edit: the kaaz lsd cost around $895 i believe. This post has been edited by DustyBurns30: Mar 7, 2004 - 4:43 PM |

dang, so it sounds like the cheap way to go with be with the mr2/lsd combo.

lagos - I have been researching this too. The LSD you get will obviously depend on the tranny you choose after the swap. If you go with the E-153, you have to get a LSD that fits the E-153. I have heard that KAAZ is almost a racing application LSD and has disadvantages for street cars. Cusco is also fairly agressive. From what I have read, the best street applications appear to be TRD and Quaife. All of these manufacturers make a LSD for the E-153. I do not know about the S-54.

never hear any thing about the phantom grip for the 5SFE, BUT I hear very good things for people who use it on most other cars..

I thought the stock tranny can't handle the 3sgte? By the way, what can handle the 3sge? (yeah the non turbo)

Stock tranny can handle a 3SGTE depending on how much HP you are trying to go to.

i think it also depends on how you drive, i have always believed in driving my car like i stole it and if something breaks i fix it. so if i was going to do a 3s-gte swap i would definately get a stronger tanny. but, that's my opinion, i don't have experience with that engine. also i may be a little bias cause i'm selling an s54 curren tanny that can take 350hp no problem with axles, wheel hubs, shift fork, clutch, and flywheel for $400.
shameless promotion of merchandise....check

the GT tranny will hold up just fine, but you cant use an ST tranny.
whats the difference between clutch or helical lsds? -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
