Group Buy: PELOQUIN LSDs

[Preen59]

Sorry for the lack of response on this, Guys. I'm currently trying to wade thru some other more pressing issues.

I will let you know in a week or so. We should be able to offer very competitive pricing..

Really keen now after my last track outing

Cool cool. Trying to sort out some pricing this week.

me too .....

[Preen59]

Doing this now. I will update the original post with pricing

[kaanage]

Count me as a definite (although I'd be willing to pay a bit more for a WaveTrac).
Not worth waiting until September for your other package??

BTW is the 02Q 498 006B just an update on the 02Q 498 006A? I can't find the B variant on the Peloquin site but the pricing seems to equate to the AWD variant.
Can you get pricing for the 02Q 498 006A? Given the prices on the Peloquin site, it should be the same as for the 02M 498 005A.

Is that O2J 5 or 6 speed?

[kaanage]

Isn't the 02J 5 speed only (unless you get an aftermarket conversion)?

Yeah.

Same price as 02M.


I'm doing Wavetrac pricing now. My internet dropped out last night before I could complete it.

[Preen59]

Hey guys. Pricing done for Wavetrac. Updated the OP.



Please let me know if you are interested (I can't stress enough, seriously interested) and what diff you want.

I've started a list of interested people on the OP. Show your interest and i'll add you (Kanaage please specify for me).

Is that O2J 5 or 6 speed?

5 speed. 02S is an 02J with 6th gear.

Hoyhoy.

First of all I'm sorry for not getting onto this one earlier, me don't read every thread & when I saw group buy on Peloquin, I wasn't too interested, been there, done that.

Eddy who has a polo has a Peloquin or a Quaiffe, not sure i will find out, anyway he says he is pulling it out and changing to a different LSD, the SQS one

SQS Racing | LSD Differentials

I will try to get him to post here to tell us his experence. I dont know if it was a secret or not lol

No secret, SQS LSD is in.

Ask him why the heck he want to use a cam and pawl locker? They wear out, lock under power if both wheels have any grip and don't drive if there is zero grip for either wheel. It might be OK on the track (apart from the wear factor) but it'd be pretty horrible on road (loads of inside wheel scrub under power).

This one is a plated one & not a cam & pawl type.

Maybe thats why, I dont understand it, but he likes tracking his car and maybe all he cares about is quick times

True I love tracking, but have only done one meet in nearly two years now & roughly about eight all up.


Now my part of the story,,, is me personally don't like the Torque bias set-up & will never have one again, it has to engage
a couple of cogs before it crabs. I never liked it from the word go, but it had done some work before I got it from Guy Harding, but not too much. The engaging of the cogs causes free play in the drive line which to me is ****, then with a bit more wear & tear it got a mind of its own grabbing which driving wheel it liked. Now the Little Blue Girl hasn't got many KM's at all even on the road for quite some time due to several reasons, but the difference is amazing, the fighting of the steering wheel just about disappeared when powering on hard over rough stuff.
Heres another interesting thing, the Waky time went down 3 sec's with just fresh tyres & the SQS - LSD (thanks to Guy Harding for getting it into Aussy for me & just as well he done the job because only he realised that they didn't have the right Ring Gear for the Polo.)
Wakefield Park with the Peloquin, coming out of certain corners it was twitching the power from wheel to wheel when powering out, not so with the plated SQS - LSD.
This diff was not cheap because of the ring gear development involved, but me like, it drives beautifully on the road because it is set up on a soft setting & is only one way, so not savage at all, reverse parking & all that. (Guy Harding had one in the APR MKV Golf, which I had the pleasure of test driving before ordering one.)
None of the mods I do to the Little Blue Girl are secret, every thing is there out in the open for every one to see, which a lot of folks won't show,,,Edd's lastest mod. list.
some more changes on the list in regards of the brake set-up are already there for the next Waky day 15/10/2011. (NSCC day), even just now put in me lastest spring ratings.
Hope that answers all, if not just ask.

Thanks for your input, Eddy..

It should be noted that this is one person's experience with a second hand LSD.. While Peloquin have sold thousands.

Now, back to our usual program...

Actually, I made a mistake when looking at the SQS Racing website - their own LSD seems to be a Salisbury (they also sell other brands which were the cam and pawls). I'd imagine that these would be more obtrusive than a TDB due to the slight locking action in the power off mode as well as the stronger locking when powering on - this maybe what the Integra owner at Winton ('Harry') was referring to when he said the LSD wasn't great for a daily driver. The wear of the clutch plates may be OK for occasional track use.

Thanks Eddy
So your experience with the Salisbury style LSD is that engagement is far smoother than the ATBD? I've never heard that the ATDBs have 'slack' in their engagement (not from the 2 users that I've met nor in any online discussion).

Preen59 says that your Peloquin was secondhand - do you know how old and how hard it was used before you got it?

Preen59, put me down as a definite for a 02JB/02S (P/N 10-309-181WK) WaveTrac. Since I have a late 2008 car, I assume that my gearbox has the smaller ring gear (I'll be gutted if it doesen't ).

Will do, mate.

Hoyhoy.

Kaanage.
Sorry I didn't see your post No 46.
The Peloquin that I had came from Guy's red APR Polo which had done some serious stuff, but not many miles.
I done the 2007 Dutton Rally against Guy & that diff was there in Guy's Polo then.
As to which size ring gear you would have, I can't really help ya, all I know is that SQS thought that the O2J they had on the self would be the right one, but Guy woke up to this factor before it got shipped thank heavens, he is very knowledgeable & helpfull with this stuff.
P.S. Me like the SQS plated one, now that is just my opinion.
