I like how in mistake #3 “we don’t recommend this LSD set for racing purpose”
Why else would people buy LSD?!
Their name is Racing Diffs. By default they are recommending it for racing purposes!
They recommend their complete rebuild kit over conversion for racing...😂
I like the updated information but their video on E36 188 diff kit is basically a how not to do it.
I hope Racingdiffs sorted those customers out who followed that installation video and their diff went wrong
Unfortunately none of these issues are addressed in the 188k install video. Furthermore the pin is inserted with a hammer in the video as well. I did not install mine myself so I can´t tell what the reason was in the end, but mine also broke after 2 months due to the pin breaking lose.
Good informational video, i always thought the first technique with the threadlocker was good enough, but here i learned something new.
I was curious about your website then i saw this now I’m convinced i gotta get a kit😵💫
Very informative! Thank you for pointing these steps out. I’d probably would have used a mallet to install it if you didn’t make this video lol
I have a 2013 135i do i have to seperate the ring gear from the diff? what kit do i get for my 2013 135i
Good video
I have this exact set and I have a clunk coming from the diff when applying/releasing gas (load shift) while moving. It is possible that this is a symptom of the central pin coming apart even though loctite has been applied? What symptoms have been reported prior to catastrophic failure associated with the central pin?
No such sounds was reported. What is more likely is backlash, if you mixed position of side bearings C Clips, or adjustment shims.
@@RacingDiffs hi what kit do I need for a 2004 325ci convertible m sport? Or how do I work it out off my registration or chassis number??
Hey, I have the same problem. Did you find any fault?
Which oil should be used with a LSD conversion set? Factory grade or something else?
If differential is separated from gearbox, like in the most RWD cars, than Motul Gear Competition 75w140 is our choice. If it is inside gearbox, than factory grade but for LSD.
Is there an lsd for 650i f06 😢
I've allready broken my original c-clip and spare one from conversion set. What type of c-clip it is? What should I look for in stores?
Send an email to office@racingdiffs.com. ask for another C clip for the conversion set. Tell that you spoke to Luca, and guys will send you c clips free of charge.
Good morning. On a front-wheel drive, do you have any advantages with racingdiffs? If yes, does it exist for vw polo 6r gti 1.8 ?
This year, we will do more tests to demonstrate the benefits of LSD on FWD cars, which are huge. Polo Gti set is coming soon.
@@RacingDiffs I'm very happy that you're preparing it for polo 1.8 gti. Especially for manual gearbox which has a significant torque practically at very low engine rpm, especially after a simple stage 1. On dry asphalt it is also quite fast coming out of corners, but in the wet it is slow even with good tyres. It will also depend on the Custer angle of the steering but the understeer is too much and very annoying. I hope that the component you will create is durable so that you don't consider maintenance often, considering that the differential is inside the gearbox and therefore it would be a complicated and expensive job every time to do maintenance. Thank you for your reply and I hope to see a demonstration video on front-wheel drive as soon as possible. See you soon and good job
Couldn't you supply a bolt with pre-applied dry thread locking compound?
It is not effective enough.
What strength lock tight do you guys suggest for the central pin?
Loktite is excellent choice.
Which colour... locite us the brand not the strength
it looks like he's using blue in the video. which is still considered serviceable. like you can break it loose with a bar or something. if your really worried about it put some red in there and you'll probably need heat to get that apart.
If I had to make a guess. most people bust the c clip during install and don't realize it's broken. because the 2 halfs are still keeping the pin in place. once you get some miles on it and some good vibration. the half then break even more and finally can't do anything and the pin Flys out
does this work on diesels too? or is it going to break easily because of the torque?
Works on diesels perfectly. We have it in our E46 330Cd.👍🏻
So...because of this video I bought a hydraulic press to install the kit 100% correctly. I've tried several types of C-clips (including the original one), even with two different diffs, unfortunately without success...the C-clip has crushed each time.
Drop us an email to office@racingdiffs.com and we will send you couple of spares.
Would this be suitable for a bmw m135i ?
Yes, we have the model for your car. And now it is on discount so you can grab it for 199eur instead of 289! Check more on the link below.

Chat him on instagram 👆🏼👆🏼👆🏼
Best diff channel 💪💪💪
Thank you so much!
Is it true that you do not recommend these for racing?
Yes, it is. This is the product mostly for street usage. For racing, we have other options available, depending on the car.
So “racing” diffs product is not build for race applications. What are my other choices for my 500hp e46? Just to sell my kiddney and buy an original M diff?
th-cam.com/video/069lcT-MF7U/w-d-xo.htmlsi=jezBEKvzC6vTEIvQ
Lsd is literally about 1-1.5k
I hope you didnt seriously think about putting this in a 500hp E46 :D this is a cheaper method thats supposed to be an alternative to welding for people who dont drift often enough to put up with welded diff problems..certainly not for racing applications. Get an actual LSD for that beast and service it regularly because youre going to destroy that one most likely too at some point :D
@@RealWheelDrive39 exactly... if you're actually pushing out 500hp, why in the fuck would you cheap out on the differential? 😂
@@EverythingPal69 The same type of people who tune the engine but keep the stock brakes and dont change the brake fluid :DD
A little bit late on that video, don't you think... never saw the advice for the C clip in previous videos regarding typ 188l
I hope my differential doesn't break...
We didn't know sooner, as we said, we gathered information and analysed over the time.
@@RacingDiffs Is it a catastrophic failure in the first 1k km?
Or I can go a little bit like that and soon replace the sealants and order a new c clip
@@RacingDiffs maybe you should edit your other videos showing the pin being hammered past the c-clip, exactly like you say not to do here?
how much block %?
25% lock.
Can this be used for drifting?
It is the product for street use. It's not for drifting.
Drifting makes definetely too much heat for such a small unit. Even big diffs on a drifting have high temps I believe.
@@RacingDiffs Cmon, most of your videos are about how cars with the lsd conversion set can drift (even on a street) and burnout.
Street drifting yes, but not for competition drifting. That's what we meant.
Ever fitted one of these to an Audi?
We don't have anything for the audi. Sorry to let you down.
Way to much loctite
