How do i install a centre one-way?
 

Hi. Playing around with setups.

I want to try a

FR: Diff
Center: One-way
RR: Diff


Can someone give me intrsuctions on how to install the one way? It doesnt explain how to do it in the manual. or does it?

where do i put the parts? is it near the slipper? do i use the parts from the front oneway?

Sorry for stupid question but i dont know how a center one way supposed to work, but would like to try it...

It goes in next to the front gear box. The centre shaft should go into a plastic drive-cup where it goes into the front gearbox. This drive-cup should just pop out (it's a plug-in hex) if you remove the shaft and pull. Replace this plastic bit with one of the one-way bearings (you'll have to pull one out of the front one-way). Make sure you get it the right way round!!

centre one-way works by allowing both front wheels to roll forward freely regardless of the front diff ie. locked, ball-gear diff or one-way.
It is pictured and explaned in the instructions but as u say not that clear !!
If u still are having problems installing centre one-way then pm me and i will be glad to show you !
(i would tell you now but i have been to the pub:D )

ahhhh yeah i read the instructions again, was damm confusing especially since its my first ever build of a car.

pg 21 is confusing because the middle pic shows the step after installing the centre one way, but it only shows with a centre locked diff.

it should of been obvious but really isnt and i would like to think i am a reasonably intelligent person hehe

hopefully this will solve my handling woes when i ran with a front one way....

thanks guys

If its any help, i run a front diff one-way & center one-way

why is that? i may have to try....

is there enough parts in the kit for that? or did you buy that extra...

Don't two one-ways make ... a one-way!

Unless you've got them opposite ways round :D

you will require another roller bearing to try it ! best bet is to borrow one from someone with a lazer who is not using it :)

yes :D but just makes it all run a bit smoother :cool:
best bet to start with is front diff with center one-way ! good starting point ;)

how do i run the centre one-way with the KMC conversion kit. i have bought the ZX-5 with KMC conversion kit and have no idea what he was running previoulsy. can some one please tell me how to run the centre one-way. pics would be appreciated

you can't run a centre one way with the km concepts conversion.

thanks

Hi,

KMRC make a centre one way shaft, you can find it here:

There is a totally different handling characteristic in the options - centre one way with front diff (which I am currently running) still gives a diff action at the front under power, off power you have one way action. which equates to more steering off power but the same steering on power as if you were running solid centre.

Solid centre and one way front diff gives more steering both on & off power, but can unsettle the car under braking or coming off the power abruptly.

double one ways - more steering than front diff or front diff and one way, smoother action than solid centre & one way front

so installing this is the equivalent to a centre one way?

Shown is the front centre bearing bevel shaft setup as shown in the original ZX-5 manual, the centre bearing is shown, I have added and described as best as I can were it goes and how the front centre shaft fits, this is why KMRC designed a shorter front shaft so centre one way can be used with there chassis kit.

Hope this helps

Just a little question:
Does the car only brake with the rear wheels with centre one-way as it does with front one-way?:confused:

Yes, brakes only on rear, as soon as you come off power the drive to the front wheels is removed with the centre one way
