MFactory LSD?

MFactory

Both.

We did not "clone" the Q****e. This particular topic has been brought up so much (since 2008 when we started offering our Helical LSD) that we added it to our FAQ: MFactory® Competition Products - Performance Driveline Components

With regards to being "Chinese", all of our products are designed and developed from our R&D Facility in the US, but are manufactured through our partner factories in Taiwan. This helps us reduce the end cost "per unit", but we still control the manufacturing and QC from our overseas office, so there is no detriment to quality nor reliability (as many of our customers can attest to). All of the state-of-the-art equipment that is used in manufacturing our parts is all imported from Japan or Europe. Infact, a lot of the equipment you would not even be able to find commercially in the US (as in, walk down to your local machine shop), which means it would cost several times as much for us to have the same parts manufactured over here.

If "not made in a Western Country" is of worry to you, please don't. It is not "where" a part is made, but "who" controls and makes the part. When we designed our differentials, we did take into account other products on the market, and tried to make ours stronger, lighter and machined to better tolerances, as well as more affordable at the same time. We have succeeded with all of our aims.

So much so that you will not find a single "factual" report of a Q****e being stronger/lighter/better tolerance than our product. Infact, a simple search on Google will show you the complete opposite.

The funny thing about Q****e, before we came around, they were the "go to" and "indestructible" lsd. When we starting offering our version of the Torsen in 2008, everyone was like "cheap chinese copy of Q****e" (yet they don't realise that Q****e didn't invent the Helical LSD, Gleason did, so if ours is a copy, so is theirs).

Then people starting pushing 1200whp and the story significantly changed in our favor. Suffice to say, we've never had to "update" our helical lsd due to failure under high hp; the same can't be said for Q****e

I was just asking for clarification on something you said. Nothing more- I'm not bashing anything. Your statement could have been read either way. Thanks for the clarification.

My apologies if my reply came off as being aggressive; this was in no way intentional (infact, 90% of the post is copy and paste from another forum where the exact same topic is being discussed)

Although our roots are with Honda (and we are an Official OEM for Honda Racing, if that says anything about our quality), we have started to expand into other models. Recognising the large community of 350/370Z owners, this is definitely a market high on our list to develop our range of LSD's (both Helical and Plate type), Final Drives, Close Ratio Gears, Clutches and Flywheel.

We are in the process of sorting out our vendor account just now, and will post up an introduction thread shortly

Not a problem. It's hard to infer tone across a forum post. Although I can understand how frustrating it can be to answer the same question over and over again.

Thanks for your input MFactory. Do you have any ETA on when the 350/370 LSDs will be available for purchase?
Sorry for the misinformation about Q****e

I had an MFactory in my Mazdaspeed Protege years ago, and it seemed like a very nice piece. Unfortunately the engine went out on that vehicle shortly after the diff install so I didn't have a whole lot of time to evaluate its performance. No fault of the diff of course. That block was not designed to be turbo'd

cant wait.. looking forward to mfactory lsd for my Z!

MFactory, glad you came on.

I work for a company that has 23,000+ employees. So I base my chinese heat treating gripe on the experience my company has had with the subject. As we no longer buy anything from there anymore.

The close ratio gears for the transmission sounds great!

stock factory LSD.....

MFactory

We are working on them, however, due to a backlog of other projects at the moment, they are still around 2-3 months away yet unfortunately.

Alstann

Looking forward to it.

MFactory, are you the same MFactory that makes aftermarket gear sets and synchros for the Civic crowd? Because I know lots of 600+ whp Civics/RSX that swear by MFactory.
