LSD for Camry

[uibalnme]

Anyone know if there is an LSD that will fit in a 92 - 96 Camry with a 5sfe and an automatic transmission?

"LSD?" Limited slip diff? No personal knowledge, but I doubt it. This is a dyed-in-the wool family car we're talking about here!

[uibalnme]

Just wishfull thinking. I kind of knew that there wouldn't be anything that would work switching to a new trans. Yes, its a family car, but I'm dropping CT26 turbo in at 7psi with 315cc injectors. It should give me about 60 - 70hp more over stock. I know its not much, but its better than the 112 to the ground its making now.

An MR2's CT-26 will make about 150-160whp peak, & nothing under 3,000 on a lightly modded 5s-fe.
Less you plan on an M/T swap & high rpm dumps, you don't need an LSD. It simply won't have the power to need more than good tires on the street.

If you're racing it, I'd spend money in slicks before I spent money on an LSD. (That's just an opinion).




For the A/T, you can have an LSD machined into the stock Differential. For the E-153 M/T, you can have an MR2 LSD machined in the differential. Tho there has been speculation that you can just put the MR2 LSD onto the Camry platform transmissions *with* the right combination of mixed, matched &modified axle parts.

uibalnme - it'll still handle like a family car unless you spend some serious money on major surgery. A lot of people put the Camry and the Accord in the same class, but they're not. The Camry just doesn't have the basic elements for high performance (unless, as I said, you do some major mods. And then it's no more a Camry than a funny car is a 1940 Ford).

Funny example, coming from a "Honda boi".

Direct comments about how little potential there is to a crowd that would possibly believe it. Like... The Honda-sub forum.

Take this example with you...
Toyota engines have stronger parts than equivilant Honda engines. Feel free to take that back into the cave of "ignore anyone else's potential".

Help, discourage if it's stupid, but don't belittle things.








uibalnme keep gathering your 5s-fte parts. You'll come out with a nice powerband for an i4.

Here's 6psi running quite lean


Here's 8psi tuned well



150whp in the 3500-3750rpm range on an i4 - using a turbo that's big enough to make much more peak power than that is a very nice thing to have. That is the kind of i4 powerband that beats the pants off equivilant superchargers.

[AccordCodger]

Toysrme, I didn't say a word about which has the better engine. Check your facts. My comments weren't belittling. But they WERE discouraging, which apparently is OK with you. I'm a (standard) Camry owner, who used to own an Accord. I don't care much either way.

Toysrme, Yup, I've seen charts like thoses before, and thats the kind of perfomance I'm shooting for. My turbo kit is about 80% complete. I still need to get the intake and charge pipes made. I've already added a 2.5" exhaust from the downpipe on back, Magnaflow cat and muffler, front strut bar, KYB GR-2 struts all around, Brembo rotors, and Toysport steel braided brake lines. I'm still trying to get a Whiteline rear anti-sway bar and Eibach springs too. Thanks for the info. My rule is that it's not the car, it's the driver. I smoked a brand new Gran Prix on the 405 freeway (California) a couple of weeks ago. He was riding my ass for 3 miles matching every move I made. I started weaved back and fourth through the traffic getting into the faster lanes, and before I knew it he was a little speck in the mirror. By the way, I was driving an 87 Celica (non-turbo, A/T).
