Well guys a long time ago I sent out a differential to Quaife LSD's to see if anything they made was the same as the Accord diff. Well the person I had sent it too shortly after got terminated and I never recieved a response from them. About a week ago I received a call from someone at quaife asking if I still was looking because it had been sitting at this persons desk for over a year with all my info still attached. I said sure why not. They told me they had a new model called the wavetrac lsd and they were going to check that one. Well the next day they called me and said they had verified that it was the same size as the B16 diff. Same bearing size, same spline axles, but the only thing different was the speedo gear so that would need to be swapped out.
Now understand they i cannot verify this as my transmission was put back together long ago. If the people over there are as skilled as they should be then it should be ok.
The company that owns Quaife LSD is here:

The diff site can be found here:
http://www.wavetrac.net/index.htm
The part number you are looking for is:
60.309.160.wk
and thats for the B16.
If anyone chooses to go this route ask for Ryan at the autotech contact numbers site. Tell them Dennis with the old 87 Accord had sent in a diff to be compared and they they said it would bolt up and only a swap of the ring gear is needed.
Another thing is that this might mean that any B16 lsd from any company would fit, not just theirs. Again I cannot verify this so please plan accordingly. I know not many people on this site would need or spend the money on this thing but like always.... I pass around the good info.
