AutoExe original setting. Mechanical type with street best specifications.

The mechanical (multi-plate clutch) limited slip differential that distributes and transmits effective traction to the left and right drive wheels when cornering or on slippery roads is based on the proven CUSCO product and is designed with consideration for ease of use and comfort. The original AutoExe settings were applied.
The operating system is 1.5-way, which applies 100% when the accelerator is ON and 50% when the accelerator is OFF. Set the drive side cam angle to 35 to 45° and the torque bias ratio to 4.0 to 6.0 on the drive side. The initial torque is 40.8 to 51.0N-m, providing a direct operating feel and reliable traction. This item highlights the handling typical of an FR vehicle. In addition, in consideration of street driving, the specifications have been designed to suppress chattering (metallic sound when the clutch plate slips) as much as possible. The specified LSD oil is included with the product.


The following is an overview of its "aims" and "techniques." For most readers, it is difficult to imagine the mechanism because it is like a black box, but if you are thinking about tuning a differential, it is better to understand the basics. This is because usability varies greatly depending on the design intent.

First of all, some basic knowledge. A differential is originally a device that changes the rotational speed of the outer and inner wheels that drive the vehicle when it turns. This is because when turning at a certain angle as shown in the figure, the radii of the trajectories drawn by the inner and outer rings are different. Naturally, the outer ring must travel a longer distance than the inner ring, and must rotate faster. Otherwise (at the same rotation speed), the inner wheels would slip and have to consume too much rotation, making it impossible to turn smoothly. In short, a differential is a mechanism that provides a rotational difference to the drive wheels. Therefore, it is also translated as "differential device" in Japanese.
Of course, there is no need for a differential when driving straight, and it would be a problem to use a differential. This is because if there is a difference in rotation between the drive wheels, the direction of travel will change. So how does the differential recognize when it's turning? The basis for this judgment is the resistance from the road surface.
