Advantage of a V8 Torsen rear differential ?

[Audi_CQ]

This is what usually happens on track, inner front wheel is spinning the power up in smoke -> now more torque goes to the rear.

More rearward bias will help yes or you could remove front anti roll bar(maybe need a bit stiffer springs) -> inner wheel stays in contact with ground -> problem solved

Try to remove it from a C4 chassis haha.

The front wheels join you in the cabin

No problem. Just make a pair of custom "front arms" (use a spare ARB) and mount them where the ARB is fitted. Mounts must be made in the subframe. They must be of the same type as the mount in the std "rear arm"

If it's fitted to EDL equipped UrS6, do EDL pulses interfere or damage it in any way?

I've fitted a V8 Torsen straight over to my North American spec 1995.5 S6. Date of manufacture 9/95. It has EDL standard. If anything, IMHO, the combination of the Torsen and EDL work well together.

What would be the possible outcome of a fully Torsen equipped car, in regards to driveability? Meaning torsens in back, center & front? We have a local group buy going on, to buy some russian made torsen type diffs which fit both back & front, at a very affordable price. I'm just thinking if it's worth to jump on it, for only the back diff or both back & front. Best part is that even with it, the rear diff retains the hard lock option.

I'm speaking in context of daily driving & occasional track use.

I seem to remember a post on here about that, (having one in the front and centre), and it made the car twitchy and nervous on power. Try a search?

[RichLV]

I did, although on google, not necessarily here. Did not find anything concrete.

Easy find in the end:

I have torsen in front and rear diff. Handling is far better compared to standard open diffs or only rear torsen diff. Powerslides are very predictable and easy to drive when sideways. The best mod for handling for sure.

EDL and torsen don't work well together. I have broken rear diff when using EDL because when I launched then EDL braked one rear wheel which was too much for torsen and rear diff was all busted. I removed EDL and now everything works fine. Still don't recommend launching the car with torsen diffs because they brake more easily than open diffs.

Have you left any ABS working or removed ABS and EDL totally?

A coupe I presume? Wonder how will a C4 handle with this setup. How does it feel when driving daily? People mostly say that it understeers more.

Good that I don't have it then.

I thought EDL was only on late model UrS6 C4 cars rather than B4 cars ?
