That's what I've been saying, the LSD is in the MR2 tranny is FOR A RWD CAR! LOL

It's not designed for a FWD which is why it acts like it's locking up on you and whatnot. This is why I don't recommend using the MR2's LSD with 3SGTE swaps in Celicas.

A v6 swap will probably only put down about 180hp/tq at the wheels.


So you're speculating that the loss to the wheels will be 45+ hp? That does not sound right to me at all.


The typical 1MZ makes 190 to 200hp, so 180 WHP is about right.

You'll obviously be making a little more (about 190 whp) because you have a 3MZ.

Hah.. you don't have to tell me this.. I was figuring that myself lately... mmm.. rwd mid engine car.. LSD designed for that.. Mmmmm.. Oh well.. it isn't a big issue I don't really care.. I've come to accept that it's one of the quirks with using this LSD.. and it's not some big issue that hurts the function of the car or transmission.
