I'm sure this has been on here. I searched. Here you go.

AWD burnouts FTW.

[shockey`]

burnout? uhm.....donut? and uh it doesnt really take alot of power to do a donut

cool nevertheless, were they on rcomps?

[bonecracker]

it doesnt take alot of power to do donuts... u can do it with stock STI, because they have DCCD controller which u can put most of the power to the rear wheels

[AGUSTA]

lol, I guess your right, that ain't no burnout!

[bonecracker]

do all STI's have the DCCD controlers?

Uh huh

[bonecracker]

oh thats cool... thanks for the info btw

^ just to clarify, this is BAD INFO.... not true... the DCCD adjusts the lock of the center dif, not the transfer of power...

u basically can either make your car AWD or 4WD like a truck for offroad (closer to lock position)

Thats why when you try and turn the car slowly with the DCCD set to one of the positions close to lock you can feel the car bind up. Its like taking a 4wd truck, putting it in 4wd and making a turn on pavement, it starts to jump becuase both wheels are turning at the same rate... aka 4wd. On an awd car, it allows the outside wheel to slip to keep the car from jumping...

do a little more studying on the DCCD my friend

That was a nice explanation in layman's terms. Thx.

thats not wat i heard though... i think i seen a video on top gear where he said the DCCD transfers power so i dunno

This document is intended to show how the Subaru STi Driver Controlled Center Differential (DCCD) works. This will be a three-part document. Part 1 consists of a theoretical view of the DCCD as a simple planetary differential with a simple clutch, and explains how torque gets from the engine to the front and rear wheels. Part 2 consists of a description of the actual operation of the DCCD, referencing the Subaru tech manuals that explain the nitty-gritty mechanical details of the DCCD, and Part 3 is practical; how does auto mode work and suggests when it might be desirable to use manual mode. The DCCD is a complicated mechanism, and it is only one part of an AWD car's drivetrain, which is also very complex. This complexity can get in the way of understanding the basic physics of how the engine makes the car move. This text will strive to simplify as much as possible the mechanics of the car to aid in understanding, without ignoring any important concepts in the process. Much of the confusion regarding the DCCD operation has come from sales literature that (in the interest of not confusing potential buyers) oversimplifies the operation of the DCCD, and LSDs in general.... i found this which proves u wrong so whos right? it says here that it transfers the TORQUE to the front or rear wheels... so i think u shud get ur facts straight

[bonecracker]

i dunno where

[bonecracker]

you got ur info from but i never herd of changin AWD to 4WD

[bonecracker]

i found that information from another suby forum and they said they got it from NASIOC. so i think ur wrong buddy
