Upgrade differential for the Astra J VXR fitted with the F40 6 speed gearbox   

We won’t go into torque bias ratios or the concept of how torque biasing diffs work at this point. Let’s get to how the Wavetrac affects performance:

For example, you have a conventional gear diff (OEM, Quaife, MF, OBX, Truetrac, Torsen, etc.), you're on a race track for a track day and during cornering your inside wheel bumps over the curbing. This is normal for track driving. The issue is that for the brief moments your inside tire becomes unloaded when bouncing over curbs, your other wheel is not getting drive - is not putting power down. Gear diffs need load on both axles in order to function. The result on a track (or during aggressive driving) is that there are many times when a normal gear diff supplies only intermittent power to the gripping wheel.

Now, same track with Wavetrac: the patented cam device in the Wavetrac prevents loss of drive when that inside wheel is unloaded. The device is able to generate a load inside the diff (to replace the lost load as it happens) that can then be biased to the gripping wheel - in the end making more consistent power delivery through a corner. That makes the car more predictable, and faster overall.

Other benefits:

• Patented Carbon Fibre Bias Plate for the pinions. All other gear type LSDs run the pinions on the housing, meaning the friction from 0 miles is different to 100 miles, thus effectiveness is reduced over the life of the diff. With the Wavetrac performance is consistent with the Carbon Fibre bias plates!
• Patented Wave Profile eliminates the effect of a near to and zero load condition drive ability issues found in all other gear type ATB LSDs.
• ARP Bolts used throughout for superior faster reliability. 
• 9310 steel gears run in billet or forged steel bodies. 
• Manufactured & Designed in the USA

WAVETRAC: Smooth is Fast

The beauty of the Wavetrac is that it is ideally suited to high performance road cars that see track use. It is very strong, yet transparent to both driver and traction control electronics during regular driving. On the track or in spirited road use, it provides drive to both wheels without the handling issues that traditional clutch type diffs create (there is no tendency to push/understeer with a Wavetrac). 

The Wavetrac outperforms other gear type differentials because unlike them, it won't lose drive when one axle is unloaded (which happens more often than you'd think).

Lastly, one of the most underrated benefits of the Wavetrac is its smooth delivery of power near the limit. Its patented design makes for a very predictable, smooth addition of power when you need it most - when things are at their limits: on the edge of traction mid-corner and using throttle to keep it there; or coming into a corner a little hot, but quickly back on it to maintain exit speed...

These situations are often subjective to the driver, but the benefit can be felt. The Wavetrac makes you faster because it lets you drive with confidence. Smooth is fast.

We have run these over 600hp without issue - a trustworthy part by any means

Astra J VXR  A20NFT / B20 Billet flywheel 

This flywheel is made to run with the helix clutches that we also supply for the Astra J , everything on the J just needs to be a bit more heavy duty to deal with the weight and torque that the MK6 delivers . We have had great success with this kit on the J VXR .  In most cases we will run this with the paddle clutch.

Astra VXR MK6  A20NFT/ B20 Full Face Billet Clutch Kit 

With the Astra J leaving the factory with a good amount of power , upgrading the already quite beefy clutch means you end off needing some serious clamping pressure. 

This is the more daily drive friendly version , still providing a lot more clamping pressure than the stock clutch but with a more normal feel. 

If you do a lot of miles in your MK6 then this is probably the clutch for you . 

We run this with the helix flywheel - the two are made to work together !

This is the more high power friendly version , providing a lot more clamping pressure and also a nice fast bite when sending through the gears. 

If you use you're MK6 reasonably hard  then this is probably the clutch for you .
