You represented ,I bet he was pissed off the little evo took him out.

 

mine are OEM. How do you like the APs? what size rotors 14inch? 6 piston? I am looking to ask SCCA to upgrade mine and am looking at some alternatives. The X brakes are good but ill always take better. Also, how much were they if you don't mind me asking?

 

very nice driving!

 

The Essex kit here:

they look nice and the weight savings is nice too.

So, what is the final word on the ACD controller?

I've been in hour long races and never had an issue so far. But for bigger kits we have to look to the UK and they're AP kit makers. SWOLN had reached out to one such to get the RadiCal kit made but he nor I are prepared for that cost atm. If you want to lead it i'm sure most of us will follow, send him a PM for details.

 

i think it's pretty well documented that it adds rotation.

there are good versions and bad versions (that don't do anything). English Racing is one of the good ones. Haven't heard anyone who got an ER tune that had a complaint about its performance.

are you looking for something in particular?

 

Not really just overall thoughts, I have ACD tuning ECU but haven't had a chance to set the car up with it yet. I'll read the link to catch up before I work on my set up. I like the idea of softening the rear and utilizing the ACD controller to allow the car to rotate. Also, did you guys switch to softer springs in rear to accommodate? This question is more for those that already had the car rotating properly to begin with. What springs do you, Honda g and Balrok have?

 

^ only thing I'd note, I've had the ACD Tuning ecu - didn't do much. ER's is the first I've had that actually made a difference, so I stick by theirs

 

ha, cant give up my secret sauce setup. JK

im running 12k front 14k rear with ohlins R/T coilover. i also have TRE maxlock rear diff and groupe-s flashed ACD. the TRE rear diff alone will make the car rotate nicely. i also have decent amount of aero mods, you're on stock aero? my car rotate pretty nice exiting tight turns at low speed. slight push at high speed sweeper, probably due to aero. i'm also only running 320 whp (mustang) in TT3, so not much power to make car rotate at high speed.

my friend Aaron Shoe wired his ACD ecu so he can flash it himself. he's been playing around with different settings and said he notice a difference. i'll try to wire up my ACD this summer so he can mess with also.

 

10/12k. With the big wing I did notice a bit more push so going back to stock aero may bring a change in rates but we'll see. My acd was acd-tuning back when he was doing it, ended up with a slick/dot/rain profile. One of the best mods besides the diff.

 

Thanks, I appreciate the help. I have done some adjusting over the past few years as far as spring rates. The SCCA allowed me to have 500/700lbs for a few years so that is what I was running. Then they eased the rules and I went with 700/900. This was beneficial in some areas but I couldn't get the jump out of the corner like I could with the softer set up. So now I've been experimenting with a wholesale change by going with 700/500. This set up allows me to go WOT earlier than with the previous setup without worrying about over rotating or pushing. I have the TRE Max lock, JRZs and a big sway bar to get the car to rotate. That is why I'm going to do some real testing with the ACD controller to see how that helps with the softer rear springs/settings..If it works as good as I hope I may even try an even softer rear set up. I was running the 700/500 in the video above.

 

interesting with 700/500 setup. does the soft rear spring allow the car to roll more?

im running white line front and rear sway. rear is set to softest setting.

 

It does roll a little more but the rear of our cars are so light compared to the front that its not a big deal. Proof to me that going this direction is working is if you look at the video where i'm in a sustained corner (T3) with the Porsche and I can not only hang with him but close the gap-I could not do this before with the very stiff rear without the back stepping out. Also, the data showed my lateral G's were the highest I've ever seen.

*update.
I am going to start working with English Racing with their ECU tuning in hopes of getting even more bite in the rear out of the corners, all while allowing the car to rotate properly.

Based on that pic wouldn't softer take some steering traction away as well? If the rear squats much more then it is your inside fronts will lift much like a RWD car taking away the advantage you spoke of above since X% of your power is coming from that wheel.

So what kind of power are you squeezing out of your 100oct setup?
