Okay i used the search first thing but came up empty handed. So Here's my question does any evo x owners know the percent of torque split that each setting is programmed (meaning Tarmac,Gravel, and Snow) too operate when selected. the owners manual just states at what condition to use each setting but that's about it.
I was just curious if the system it like my twin brothers Subaru sti any input is appreciated.
thanks miles

 

The AWD system in the X is either 100/0 or 50/50.

The modes just change when the ACD clamps i believe.

 

tarmac is 40/60 front to rear, gravel is 50/50 snow is biased 60/40....or there abouts

 

Not true. read my post above.

 

i dont think it is the same as the subaru awd system.

 

no difference in torque split guys. tarmac, gravel, and snow are inputs into the acd, and i believe it only changes the lock-up of the center dif

 

Everyone should cite their source. Lots of misinformation in this thread.

 

Thanks for the input guys and or gals, you'd think Mitsubishi would give a detailed description besides what road condition but anyways thanks.

 

tarmac/gravel/snow, thats 3 and not 2 split settings

100/0 means you are dealing with a front wheel drive car, virtually

where did you get that info?

 

All Evo's are essentially FWD until the ECU determines that conditions warrant power to be sent to the rear wheels.

 

All credit goes to the OP of this sticky.

Side note: the 03-04 Evos had no active center differential, similar to the 1G and 2G
DSM's which sported a VC center diff.

 

So it is always 50/50 and just changes timing, thats what I was told when I made a post about something similar and this link appears to agree with it.

 

You can read about it here.

"The Mitsubishi, on the other hand, never sends the majority of engine torque to the rear axle. Instead, it can send all the engine torque to the front wheels or 50 percent of it (using an electrohydraulic clutch on the center diff). So the Evo varies the front-to-rear torque split between 100/0 and 50/50. "

 

Is this true for the EVO X? The 2005 article refers to earlier EVO's.

i work for a mitsu dealership and to my understanding of how the Lancer evolution trainer representative from mitsu explained is like this.

tarmac= 20/80 rear
snow= 90/10 front
gravel=50/50

i have found this in a lot of technical reading from mitsu as well.
