Just a quick update. Have now done over 1200 k's in the diff and have also changed the oil just after 1000. I'm so happy with this Kaaz diff it rarely chatters any more only on really sharp slow turns.

I had my 2 way installed at around the same time as you. Have noticed that when its cold there is almost ZERO clunking and is very tight. However after a lengthy drive (when the oil heats up) I found it to be very loud. Doesnt bother me though, still locks up when required :D

Yeah same when cold NO chatter whats so ever.

I used Penrite LIMSLIP SAE 85W - 140 about $23 from autobarn.

Yep its normal for the KAAZ not to chatter when cold. I believe the oil is too thick for the clutch plates to function correctly.

My 1.5 chatters to all buggery once hot. First time passengers think a wheel has fallen off or something!

I will be adding some of the Redline LSD additive to quiet it down a bit because my car is primary a streeter, not a track warrior. The additive makes the oil a bit more slippery, and thus the clutch plates don't grip as easily.

Update on oils.

I changed all my fluids after my little radiator xploding effort.

I used Redline Diff oil for the diff, as some oil leaked out during massive burnout session.

DO NO USE REDLINE DIFF OIL IN THE KAZZ DIFF.

It's too light and makes the plates slat together, meaning EVIL banging and tail shaft wind up and it's just plain bad.

I changed back to the Castrol Racing SAF stuff, and it's fine again.

BASS OUT

Yeah I heard that red line is not good for clutch driven LSD's so I stayed away.

I think the general rule of thumb with redline is that is good for old warn parts, for eg. I have red line in my gearbox as it used to crunch 5th, but anything new stay away from it.

Just my 2 cents

Whats the point of these LSDs if theyre so tight and you cant go around a corner without sounding like you have justed welded your diff? I have a locker, it does its job, but Im sick of chirping everywhere, chewing tyres and was hoping to upgrade to a nice lsd...but if theyre going to be like a locker whats the point?

I ran the KAAZ 2 way in the rear and 1.5 way in the front of my (plus their upgraded center diff) in my STi, and it clunked to buggery, even though the diffs where properly bedded in. I have since removed them to as I couldn't addjust my driving style to suit the operation of the diffs.

hi guys,

Iam hoping to get a 1.5 way kaaz unit, where could I buy 1 in NSW Sydney area, any help would be great.

these are the people who can sell it cheapest:

my mate has a kaaz 2way lsd in his ae86...

after installing it, he put in the kaaz oil ran the car in (the way it says in the kaaz book, figure of 8 etc for 30mins i think) then changed the oil after the run-in and its fine doesnt make much sound at all very very streetable...

if you dont run the lsd in right and change the oil after the runin you can damage in the lsd, u will find that after the runin the oil will have fine sharms of metal in it

Also, you have to change the LSD oil every 5000km, or else it start to become noises, i notice this in my mates ae86, we then change it and uses REDLINE oil and found that the redline oil causes the lsd to bit nosies and to lock more (if u get me)

If i was ot run a kaaz lsd i would only uses the KAAZ oil or something very similar to it

Cheers Michael

the 30min of figure 8 run in is very important. my mate s13 has a kaaz 2way, he properly ran it in and has no noise from the diff except for very tight turns like car parks, or U turns etc. he's also using genuine kaaz lsd oil too :laugh:

    • That's odd, it works fine here. Try loading it on a different device or browser? It's Jack Phillips JDM, a Skyline wrecker in Victoria. Not the cheapest, but I have found them helpful to find obscure parts in AU. https://jpjdm.com/shop/index.php
    • Yeah. I second all of the above. The only way to see that sort of voltage is if something is generating it as a side effect of being f**ked up. The other thing you could do would be to put a load onto that 30V terminal, something like a brakelamp globe. See if it pulls the voltage away comepletely or if some or all of it stays there while loaded. Will give you something of an idea about how much danger it could cause.
    • I would say, you've got one hell of an underlying issue there. You're saying, coils were fully unplugged, and the fuse to that circuit was unplugged, and you measured 30v? Either something is giving you some WILD EMI, and that's an induced voltage, OR something is managing to backfeed, AND that something has problems. It could be something like the ECU if it takes power from there, and also gets power from another source IF there's an internal issue in the ECU. The way to check would be pull that fuse, unplug the coils, and then probe the ECU pins. However it could be something else doing it. Additionally, if it is something wired in, and that something is pulsing, IE a PWM circuit and it's an inductive load and doesnt have proper flyback protection, that would also do it. A possibility would be if you have something like a PWM fuel pump, it might be giving flyback voltages (dangerous to stuff!). I'd put the circuit back into its "broken" state, confirm the weird voltage is back, and then one by one unplug devices until that voltage disappears. That's a quick way to find an associated device. Otherwise I'd need to look at the wiring diagrams, and then understand any electrical mods done.   But you really should not be seeing the above issue, and really, it's indicating something is failing, and possibly why the fuse blew to begin with.
    • A lot of what you said there are fair observations and part of why I made that list, to make some of these things (like no advantage between the GSeries and GSeries II at PR2.4 in a lot of cases) however I'm not fully convinced by other comments.  One thing to bare in mind is that compressor flow maps are talking about MASS flow, in terms of the compressor side you shouldn't end up running more or less airflow vs another compressor map for the same advertised flow if all external environmental conditions are equivalent if the compressor efficiency is lower as that advertised mass flow takes that into consideration.   Once the intercooler becomes involved the in-plenum air temperature shouldn't be that different, either... the main thing that is likely to affect the end power is the final exhaust manifold pressure - which *WILL* go up when you run out of compressor efficiency when you run off the map earlier on the original G-Series versus G-Series II as you need to keep the gate shut to achieve similar airflow.    Also, how do you figure response based off surge line?  I've seen people claim that as an absolute fact before but am pretty sure I've seen compressors with worse surge lines actually "stand up" faster (and ironically be more likely to surge), I'm not super convinced - it's really a thing we won't easily be able to determine until people start using them.     There are some things on the maps that actually make me wonder if there is a chance that they may respond no worse... if not BETTER?!  which brings me to your next point... Why G2 have lower max rpm?  Really good question and I've been wondering about this too.  The maximum speed *AND* the compressor maps both look like what I'd normally expect if Garrett had extended the exducers out, but they claim the same inducer and exducer size for the whole range.   If you compare the speed lines between any G and G2 version the G2 speed lines support higher flow for the same compressor speed, kinda giving a pretty clear "better at pumping more air for the same speed" impression. Presumably the exducer includes any extended tip design instead of just the backplate, but nonetheless I'd love to see good pics/measurements of the G2 compressors as everything kinda points to something different about the exducer - specifically that it must be further out from the centerline, which means a lower rpm for the same max tip speed and often also results in higher pressure ratio efficiency, narrower maps, and often actually can result in better spool vs a smaller exducer for the same inducer size... no doubt partly due to the above phenomenon of needing less turbine speed to achieve the same airflow when using a smaller trim. Not sure if this is just camera angle or what, but this kinda looks interesting on the G35 990 compressor tips: Very interested to see what happens when people start testing these, and if we start getting more details about what's different.
