INTRAC rear diff

simplex · February 2015

Hi!

Does anyone have experience how the famous lsd Wagon/RTSi INTRAC rear diff handles power (like boosted engine)?

Also, about it's lsd: is it the same as the JDM D15B tranny's lsd? (12 bolts I guess, instead of the usual 10 bolts)

Any info about rebuilding the lsd itself? (I found info in this forum, about rebuilding the diff, but nothing about the lsd)

I Believe it's a viscous LSD, I haven't really noticed a difference in driving the LSD and non-LSD version usual day to day driving. I'm sure if it was snowy conditions I'd notice a difference.

I can't comment on rebuilding or how much power they take but what I can tell is that driving an RTi vs an RTi INTRAC is a very different experience. The INTRAC feels much more planted but doesn't quite have the same sharp turn-in as the RTi - but it can hold power around corners much better.

Here's some comparison pictures; https://www.civicwagon.com/showthread.php?12649-Intrac-LSD-vs-normal-rear-diff&highlight=INTRAC

I already have two INTRAC diffs in my garage, I'm just interested, that how much power could it take, before it brakes, and how I could rebuild the lsd itself.

Sounds right as lsd normally affects turn in, I've been running my rt4wd as 2wd for a couple of weeks now and am unfortunately pleased at how much better it handles and turns in
