O.S. Giken "DualCore" LSD

OptionZero · 10-16-2024, 02:24 PM

The OS Giken needs a cooler, though, which is another $1,000

I believe the Wavetrac doesn't need one. That's a big advantage

Speak of which

Since the "Dual Core" is a mix of helical and clutch . . . . do we think it will need a cooler?

For all,

Why does an aftermarket differential require a cooler?

Clutch type diff = more heat generated.

The Wavetrac doesn’t need a cooler because it’s a helical diff, not a clutch type diff.

That's what I assumed and wouldn't want a clutch type for street usage anyway as I don't need track car tunability, nor do I want to get into clutch pack maintenance. Thanks for the insight!

The OS Giken works absolutely beautifully on the street. They come with a street tune. If you use the OS Giken fluid and change it periodically, the diff rarely needs maintenance

You will know when to change the fluid. It starts to make noise. Mine needs changed.

After this weekend's track day, I gotta say, it's not biting fast enough. I have to get my retuned for more aggressive use. And....just knowing that means dropping the diff AGAIN....

Fortunately, for me, OS Giken is about 10 minutes away from me
