Hi,
a question concerning the Lancer EVO VIII is bothering me:
This car has a 4 wheel drive with ACD.
The basic torque spread between the two axles is 50:50.
But, what is the maximum torque performed on the rear axle?
I´m very looking forward to your answers!

 

i guess you could say 50% the total wheel torque...

 

whether you're talking about the USDM 8 with the mechanical center diff or the JDM with ACD, there would be more than 50% torque going to the rear wheels in certain situations right (eg during a hard launch with weight transfer to the rear)? I mean, the whole point is to transfer MORE torque front/back in different situations....... That was always my take on the center diff...

more info anyone?

 

Thats, what I mean. Different torque in different situations on the rear axle. But what is the maximum?

 

I have no idea of the facts but from what I have read and understand there can theoretically be 100% of the torque to just 1 wheel, at least with the ACD and AYC? So if that is true then 100% could also be sent to the rear axle.

This could be very wrong, I just read magazine tests where the tester says he got 3 wheels off the ground so the car became a 1 wheel drive or something. I have read this a few time in different magazines.

Wow....didn't you just answer your own question?

 

No. The BASIC torque-spread is 50:50. But it changes, depending on the situation.

 

There are those that have dynoed their Evos on 2WD dynos, disabling the fronts - a search should answer the question perhaps...? Close to all of it is my guess...
