...or helical, but highly unlikely in an e30 diff....Torsen came in some z3 diffs, though.
You can sometimes provide enough load on one output flange to cause a torsen to show function, haven't had a chance to try a helical setup the same way.
As an aside, torsens aren't bad in the snow and icy stuff the way I thought they might be, as long as you have even a little grip somewhere you'll go, and when you don't you can brake torque it.
Both Torsen and helical will act like an open when one wheel is completely unloaded. This is why they both rotate the opposing wheel opposite when sitting on a bench.
Quaife is a 100% helical (I used one in the ls1 swapped Mercedes), but they both actually act similar when a wheel if lifted, but deceleration is argumental.

EDIT: Now a viscous acts in a very different way - kinda like a torque converter does in a slushbox transmissions:
On this Episode, Ron explains how a viscous coupler works and what it takes to rebuild one.http://www.easy2design.de/stuff/visco_sae.pdf........................
A clutch pack (Salisbury), Torsen or Quaife can all load up and prevent wheelspin, up to the limit of their capability.
A viscous unit can only react to wheel spin.
I thought Quaifes had a small clutch pack or preload spring in the center that gave them something to push against so they can move the car even with one wheel off the ground.

Torsen type 2 units have a couple clutch packs so you can move the car in san Francisco parking situations (one wheel airborne). Does nothing when on the track flat out with one wheel airborne
S2000 Under The Hood - Factory Torsen differential internal guts inspection, reassembly - Post is to share the detailed internals of a Torsen Type 2 and how it is assembled; timed -these units are rather set from the factory engineers and the only tuning would be to add/reduce drag - fluid changes would be more...
