I have a 2003 Evo VIII with a non-ACD transfer case that is on it's last legs. Can someone tell me if I can upgrade to a later model transfer case with ACD? What are the complications?

Thanks for your help.

a center diff. new wire, acd pump and tank and also a acd computer and a new drive shaft. oh. I think you need a new ecu also. new dash board that will display the setting. maybe a new tranny, new front and rear diff that will work with the acd, i think.

 

Just get a transfercase from shep with an LSD installed.

 

I don't believe it's that involved. Although, the center diff + ECU with a ACD controller is the far least.

Better off getting a 35/65 or 25/75 front to rear(respectively) mechanical diff for some drifting fun on the track. It's much easier and less expensive.

so you don't think you need the acd pump and tank and the wire for it? ok

 

Dont do it.. Go to Shep...

 

i'm actually looking to swap my acd stuff out for a vcd setup for weight savings

 

Its not worth it just get a shep rebuild or get a lsd swap which will make you car drive and shift like a champ. When i got my ralliart i said it can be all that then when i started taking sharp turn at a high rate of speed thats where it all paid off.

 

buy a transfer case for an 04 rs, you get the limited slip front diff. and its not acd... by the way the center diff is in the trans. you would not have to replace it

 

ohhhh and one piece you would have to replace is the down pipe

 

i dont think it is worth the hassle myself

 

You have told me enough to decide that it's not worth the trouble. I already have an LSD upgrade, so I'll stay with the same setup. Now I need to find an economical source for a rebuild. I appreciate your help!
