Default Quick Q about 2010 + LSD's

Is there any reason why I couldn't take an LSD from an ISF and install it into another car SC300?

I understand that, you can't go the other way due to electronics. Correct me if I'm wrong it's been a long time since I investigated this.

Probably not. Lexus does not change major component sizes trivially.

But truth be told, Torsen diffs are only marginally better than open diffs. Clutch type diffs are remarkably better.

The cars 95% road duty vs 3% drag and 2% lapping....I get it's better, but all I want the LSD for is for some time to time hooning not much more.

The Isf gearing won't exactly get your Aristo's hoon on if you're swapping in the complete carrier.
