Anyone notice that the USDM 05's have E-ACD? AFAIK, the current ACD system is a hydraulic one that uses electronic control to adjust the pressure and consequently the clutches in the ACD. Perhaps E-ACD is a lower maintenance system that works electrically instead of hydraulically? If so, I wonder how it performs in comparison..

The E-ACD system in the USDM '05 is hydraulic. AFAIK, it looks like mechanically it is the same as the JDM RS. (The Evo 8 RS does not have AYC, only ACD) Of course, we don't have all of the weight savings with the regular USDM Evo.

 

I believe the next lot of RSes will have SAYC in addition to ACD. The system has or is homologated for group N use.

 

Where did you hear this from? It would probably be a good thing, although I must say I am personally glad at least one batch wont come with it...I doubt it would do anything for me but cause problems with my wallet.

 

I meant world wide RSes they have never come with AYC or SAYC until next batch were anounced. I was not talking about USDM. JDM RS had ACD without AYC systems recently.

 

O I c, heheh
