You can put an S4 or S5 na LSD, but only the S4 makes any sense, since S5s are viscous, meaning they're likely worn out by now, and not rebuildable. You can swap to a turbo lsd, but then you also need the driveaxles, and a custom driveshaft. You can also do a 94-05 Miata torsen swap into your current housing, although Miata's with the torsen aren't fall-off-the-tree common either.

Why are you looking for an LSD for your vert? At stock power levels and with the car's heft, it's not exactly a must have - nor the first mod I would be looking at.

The more easy swap so is a S4 or the Miata... Driveaxles is too complicated...
I never had the LSD (the Turbo II for few time) so I want to have a car with it to try well. For the two '80s Euro/USA model I had is too expensive to found here, and also the 1981 Euro.
If I could, I will put to the 1980 with 13B swap, but I didn't found the spare parts
