Thank you for your kind note. I’m working on EP2 now. It should drop in a week or two. Thanks for watching and be sure to drop CBS Racing a note on your LS4 when ready to go LSD! 👍
@@ForwardMomentumhi , i have 2016 and 2014 Lexus Gs350 , which LSD can be installed on them ? Really need ur help on this.
Did you reach out to CBS? www.cbsracing.com/contact
very sick excited to see part 2 🙏🏿
I’ve been needing this video to install my kaaz 2way into the 3.7 of mine!!
awesome man, keen to see you get started
Thank you so much I been looking for so long
Great vid man! Maybe I missed it but which diff did you get 1.0 or 1.5?
Thanks! Neither. This is a helical style diff. Most like a factory Torsen, yet stronger. The best of all worlds with very few exceptions. The perfect choice for a DD! 😎
Can u do a timming video and a crankshaft seal replacement video please?
I can add it to the list, but it’s not going to be anytime soon.
@@ForwardMomentum thank u
A few questions do you have the part number for the bolted style carrier/housing? What ratio did you go with for your differential. I have a 2001 GS 300 with a Aristo motor and I am in the process of getting it tuned for at least 650 hp. What would you recommend?
I do not have the part number. You literally have two carrier choices and if it has bolts on the side, that’s what you want. I went back to 3.2 from 3.7. When you ask what I would recommend, do you mean LSD or ratio? For that type of power I’d recommend a 3.2 ratio. Also, the CBS helical LSD is just awesome, so I’d go with that. 👍
I want to put a "Detoit Locker" in my LS400? Idk if that will fit.
Yessir!!!!
can we get your contact to talk about sponsorship?
Hi - IG is probably the best way: instagram.com/yt.fwd.m/
is the gear ratio different? i’ve heard they tend to explode on the freeway
The ratio is 3.2. My old diff was 3.7. I don’t know where you heard that rumor but it’s totally false. Some Supra Torsens are subject to exploding at freeway speeds, but not helical types like this.
From what models are the older stubs found?
300/400/430 98-03 (MAR).
@@ForwardMomentum not sure if you know this but i cant find anything online about it- does the early 430 diff housing fit on a 98-00 ls400?
I’m sorry, I do not know that for certain. Simon at CBS Racing may know. He’s quite knowledgeable on these sorts of things.
