Three ways to set your CUSCO limited slip differentials: 1 way, 1.5 way and 2 way.

  • 1 way LSD: Specially suited for front wheel drive cars and AWD front axle cars. Activates under acceleration, and acts as a true LSD when the throttle is off. This CUSCO 1 way LSD will improve lap times without a doubt.
  • 1.5 way LSD: Activates under acceleration while the under-steer under deceleration is less than on a 2 way LSD. Recommended for those who have a hard time with under-steer.
  • Two way LSD: Recommended on rear wheel drive cars and AWD rear axle cars. Activates on both acceleration and deceleration. Recommended for those who prefer aggressive driving and big angle drifting.

One Limited Slip Differential, Two Ways to Enjoy!

With CUSCO's LSD, you may change the setting during your overhaul with no additional parts required.

Possible CUSCO LSD Set Up

FWD Cars 1 & 1.5 Way
  1 Way (2 cam type allows actuating adjustments)

 

 

RWD Cars 1 & 2 Way
  1.5 & 2 Way

 

 

AWD Front Axle 1 Way (2 cam type allows actuating adjustments
  1 & 1.5 Way

 

 

AWD Rear Axle 1 & 2 Way
  1.5 & 2 Way
 

The Low Initial TYPE RS

  • Low power loss means better lap times for even the mild tuned of cars
  • Chattering is kept low
  • Improved durability as clutch plates are low pressured
  • The LSD efficiency is higher with smoother oil flow between plates.

The Benfits

According to CUSCO'S in house research, initial torque is 50 to 70% lower compared to the conventional cone plate type LSD enabling lower drive friction and better response.

The Type RS's Durability

  • Special precision springs, set in the pressure plate, assure steady coil movement
  • Clutch plates do not stick together like convetional cone plate type LSDs. Therefore less clutch plate wear or deterioration occurs.

The Benefits

The Type RS LSD had proved to be capable of competition use in the All Japan Gymkhana Championship without overhauling a single time during the season. With all drivers and teams finishing with good or championship reuslts at the end of the season.

Uncompromising Characteristics of the Type RS LSD:

  • Reacts to throttle work directly
  • Transfers high power without slippage
  • No clutch slipping in 0-400 meter accelerations (1/4 mile competition)
  • Transfer steady power in long drifts
 
The Type MZ has Evolved!

The Type MZ LSD had been greatly improved using most parts that comprise the Type RS. Its has evolved as well through countless R+D tires, tests and races to create the most balanced LSD for your specific use.

The Oil Through System uses the same forged parts used in the Type RS. The Type MZ differs in the way the initial torque is developed.

Increased MZ plates!

The clutch plates have been increased from eight to ten plates one each side increasing the LSD performance. It responds more to the high power with higher durability.

 

 
Maintaining Stability And Performance

Cusco oil through system enables stability in high performance LSDs.

CUSCO's unique Oil Through System enables better oil flow inside the LSD for better efficiency. The casing made from CUSCO's unique technology allows the oil to flow from the wide end, to the pressure rings, then to the MZ clutch plates for efficeint lubrication. Making the LSD more stalbe and durable!

This was only possible with CUSCO's unique technology in manufacturing chromoly steel casing and gears that enabled a higher level of durability and a better flow of oil due to the large oil openings.

 
Improved Strength And Reliability

Highly resistant parts with extreme efficient manufacturing. CUSCO's Oil Through System was possible by using high quality chromoly steel. The internal side gears and pinion gears used are precise forged parts that enable compact yet durable gears that are able to cope with high horsepower applications. This increases the internal oil capacity as well as the number of MZ clutch plates that take the load off each plate for further durability.

 
Response And Durablity Greatly Improved

CUSCO's unique and original groove tehcnology.CUSCO's MZ plate grooves are cut radially enabling instant oil movement, thus improving efficiency and durability. Pressure ring surface is polished for an even contact with the MZ plate, and with CUSCO's orignal design Oil Through System. This enhances the effieciency and performance of this LSD.
