i think same principle but 2 way has some ease in and out where as a locker has none...its locked.

before i put my 255,s on it would chirp when i turn if u no what i mean and i gather a 2way would not do this

cheers for the help

a 2 way would do it also but when i mean give theres like a small window ease on the diff that you can find before it locks in like finding the bite position of a clutch if u get me. so youd probs hear clunking when accel off where as a locker wont? anyone care to correct me??

To test if you've got a 2 way or locker diff, find a low speed corner where your diff will skip/clunk when accelerating. Now go around the corner at the same speed but with your clutch in, if it doesn't skip or clunk, you have a 2 way/1.5 way or 1 way LSD.

Simple...

yes it does clunk so i have a 2 way or 1.5 or 1 but sorry to stretch the freindship guys but is it possable to determine the difference between these 3

A dodgy welded diff can clunk, so do the test I posted and you'll see if you have a mechanical LSD or a locked diff.

A 2 way diff will lock under acceleration AND deacceleration, a 1.5 way will lock under acceleration and be halfed locked under de-acceleration and a 1 way will only lock under acceleration.

2 way diff is good for drift as it will be still locked when you back off the throttle, therefore keeping the car sliding and not snapping back like a stock LSD will. It will increase understeer when cornering normally but I haven't noticed this really with my Kaaz 2 way LSD on my S13. It's fine for street driving and twisty roads if you're sensible and know how to drive.

1.5 way would be best for circuit racing and general street driving. 1 way LSD's aren't very common and I wouldn't bother with them other than for drag racing and it would probably be just cheaper and easier to use a mini spool if thats all you're gonna be doing...
