It is both a "better" sensor (more accurate data provided more frequently) and tuned to be more aggressive (it may exaggerate the g-force readings slightly to the control systems). Dino's write up from Speed Hunters is quite compelling in addition to the measured lap time improvement... but to each his own.

To hell with the wagon, look at that restored Fairlady Z

Ill put money on there being about $30 in electronics and a couple bucks in connectors. 3 axis accelerometers and microcontrollers are cheap. The PCB and case is probably the most expensive parts.

I just don't see this catching on over here in the states. That's a lot of cash for such a small product. I think maybe if you were a driver at the level where you are actually out driving your mods, then yeah - it might be worth it. But I'd say that over 90% of Evo drivers don't have the skill level to need something like this.

*****I'm not saying this to bash any drivers here or anywhere else. just pointing out aht most people have more mods than seat time and haven't gotten to a level that they are out driving their cars. *******

Im guessing its just a modded sensor that tricks your electronics (ayc,acd) to react sooner and/or more aggressively. I would rather have a flashed acd tune. Its nice to see new things out for the evo, but at $850 I will pass. I paid less for my TRE 1.5 way diff and race flashed ACD ecu.

Yep you're right over here in Australia we don't have sensors and that stuff.

We've had acd flashing for quite a few years mate too. Tehpra who writes alot of the open software and Merlin are Aussies last time i checked.

ACD flashin would not make this redundant infact if this is a higher quality sensor than the mitsu one it would make quite the difference in enchanced reading and reaction times.

Seriously I'd like to see how this weighs up compared to an offering of a g sensor from motec (australian company probably one of the highest used ecu and controller manufacturers at high end motorsport).

I get a motec g sensor for less price but how does this weigh up compared to a motec one?

We can see the diffference in a gtr sensor (gtr's to the r34 inherently use technology 10 years older than evo's).

How would it work without a ayc? Probably just fine , as to use without an acd I don't know, but then all our evos overhere since the 6 onwards have an acd (with the exception of some rs models).

Good summary and we feel similarly. If there is enough interest, say 5 confirmed, we can do a group buy for a reduced price. Being able to drop 1-2 seconds off of your lap time is quite attractive for anyone doing time attack.

Reading more and i feel like an idiot the evo appears to have two sensors, a longitudinal and lateral sensor. I should of been all over this.

http://www.scribd.com/doc/21248071/m...chnical-manual 2-15 onwards should provide a layman's description for everyone.

So do we have any figures on sensor speed or ability other than Tarzan saying it's good?

For the Evo does it replace both of the sensors? (it seems to be about 300 more than the skyline g box).

I'm interested but I have to see processor speeds etc , easy to see an improvement with the skyline as it's going from a mechanical sensor to a digital sensor so it's a no brainer but, what's there for us?

Any data on the ability of this sensor to the stock mitsubishi one?
