i have a evo mr... was wondering how the 3 acd settings distibrubute the power
50/50
65/35
etc
thanks

 

Just as a confirmation, once the vehicle's in one of these 3 settings does it vary the power between the front and the rear based on road conditions? Or is it a fixed value sort of thing?

 

... and is there any way (reasonably) to transplant into the 03 evo>?

 

come on guys i thought i would have an answer by now.... i read somewhere that the evo was 65/35
and then 50 / 50
i was wondering if anyone knew how the 3 different settings ditributed the power...

 

AFAIK it changes the percentage of locking in the center diff not necessarily the torque split. Torque split is "fixed" at 50/50 unless there is slippage on either end. The settings change the logic program for how much and when the center diff is locked during acceleration and deceleration and maybe cornering (not sure, hopefully someone can chime in). This helps the car get through a corner with hopefully less understeer. AYC (which we of course don't have) changes rear diff locking for a lateral (or side to side) version of ACD.

 

^^^ that is correct. we also have steering position sensors and G sensors to help aid the ACD's decisions on locking/unlocking the center diff.

 

ACD = Active Center Differential

ATS = Active Torque Split

haha, jk

 

Didn't someone post on here the link to the Mitsu tech article about this?

As I recall the car starts at a 100/0 split and as the car see's fit, it transfers it from 100/0 to 50/50 and everything inbetween. The 50/50 only occurs when the ACD locks the center diff up. This is on the tarmac setting. On the other two, it never reaches the full 50/50.

Or wait, was it a mag article...

 

Could you elaborate?

 

notice how every magazine has their own definitive version of exactly how the system works? Yet they are all different! I think it depends on whether there contact was a marketing person or an engineer then you are subject to their interpretation of what the think they hear. No wonder it’s hard for us to figure out exactly what it does…

 

I totally agree.

Well, maybe somewhere on lancerregistry they have a explanation about it?

How bout we all agree that tiny gerbil gnomes live in your center dif. They are hooked up to tiny electrodes that the ECU shocks them with. Each tiny gerbil gnome (tm) is hooked up to a plate and when they get shocked, they begin to run in place until the friction locks the plates up. Oh and they live by eating your clutch plates and synchros.

Edit: and the 50/50 or 65/35 stands for how many tiny gerbil gnomes (tm) are facing a specific way. (i.e. 50/50 mean 50 facing one way, 50 facing the other...)

 

hey... I'm not gonna' fall for the old "gerbil crawled up my tail-pipe story"

...again!

 

 

haha, great explaination!

Elaborate. Sure, It was a joke because SCCAEVOT2 thought the Torque Split changed. I was just making a joke (I guess it was a bad joke, sorry).
