Hi guys,
Glad to be back on evom after my little time out. Now you can see what I've been doing to keep myself busy BTW, we found that using MAF as an input to the ACD controller to be better than using throttle position (as the stock unit does). This is especially the case with upgraded turbos (where lag means that throttle position doesn't translate well into actual engine load). We've been doing a lot of research into the factory ACD system and we're frankly a amazed at how much better we could potentially make it with some careful retuning. We're working with a couple well-known racer guys on this forum and hope to have some good data for you guys to chew on soon! In the meantime, keep voting and providing us with feedback/comments. Thanks to everyone who has giving feedback so far.

But back to the topic, I agree that 8-900 sounds a bit steep. Something more like 4-500 might be more reasonable. I guess time will tell.

By the way, how far away is this from production and release to the public?

FWIW, there is absolutely no way we can sell the final product for $400-500 at the quantities we're predicting. If we produced and sold thousands of the units and made them non-user-tunable (ie. not requiring any after-sales support whatsoever), then that price is do-able. But between hardware, software development. testing costs and the amount of support we'll need to provide, we're looking at something more expensive. I think the original price projections still stand. Sorry!

Damn, it sucks to be stuck in an '03 sometimes.

As an '03 owner, I must mandate that Vishnu CANNOT release ACD tuning until their Ohlins suspension setup is actually in-stock!

This wouldn't be something I would buy, plus there is already a lot of driver improvement that needs to be done before I can even maximized the full potential of the car. Even then I think the stock Tarmac setting is very good as is and allows the center diff to open up after braking while entering a corner.

I see this being used by the full time racers, track racers and SM auto-x racers trying to gain that extra 1/10th of a sec, which makes this an even smaller niche'.

A fool and his money are soon parted.

Welcome back Shiv

User-tunable ACD controller

I've been told by one guy who knows the Evo ECU well that using the Ralliart controller will trigger an error message and disable the ACD system on US cars without AYC.
