well the DCCD control doesnt ACTUALLY move power in the way of front wheels and rear wheels. im 99% sure that the actual power ratio and torque split remains the same.
you are actually changing the way the differential locks. so compared to "LOCK" mode where the diff locks and is supposed to not allow the wheels to spin at different rates, when it is full open, it allows the tires to spin much more freely, but the power is the same to each wheel

our cars will never be able to drift like your friends 240 SX because of the all wheel drive. at least on tarmac.

on dirt, snow, wet roads, etc. the diff settings will allow for a lot of difference in wheel spin to drift well.

hope this helps. and if im wrong. which im sure im not 100% right, someone please correct me.

EDIT: our cars will be able to drift like your friends 240SX if the diff is changed or modded to a RWD

Thats pretty cool, has anyone used that? Price?

--------I am pretty sure the DCCD does adjust where the power goes as far as the wheels go. 05 and down it can go to 80% back 20% front, but my 07 can only go to 65% rear and 35% front which is not very good. It was pouring outside today and my STi has 380 horsepower at the wheels and even after a 4500rpm launch the wheels catch in about a second, if not less. and if I floor it in first i get no spin at all even on wet ground with ultra high performance summer tires on...

 

DCCD does NOT change the percentage of power going to the front and rear wheels. Your STi is always at 41/59 and the 04-05's were 35/65. The DCCD does not change it it just changes the amount of lock on the diff. Use the search function its quite beneficial.

 

AWD will never be quite as good as a drift car as RWD, that said, your car does not have traction control, and as other ppl said putting the DCCD in open does not make your car RWD, however putting the center diff on open can make the car more tale happy.

Just as a note, i fuucked around on my RT615's IN THE WET and they were gone after 1,500 miles, no more drift-o's for me.....

 

Sti's are not meant for drifting. if you want you can set the dccd all the way to the bottom(full open as some may call it) and trigger the slide with your e-brake and power over, i did it a coouple of times and it seemed like a pretty decent slide.

 

hmm.. maybe its a problem with the newer torque split, but I can keep my 04 going in a drift as long as there are still tires left on the beast.. Really though, my first 04 that I bought brand new I went through 3 sets of tires in 10,000 miles because of my various drifting sessions.

My second 04 sti has not had the opportunity because I dont feel like wasting money on tires, but it will still do it.. I never had a problem in auto mode, but full open does make the rear slide a bit easier..

 

I have an 06 and I have no problem hangin it out. I would suggest more seat time and good scandinavian flick.

 

It's really easy to get 04-05's out. No flicks or ebrakes required.

04-05's are a little easier but 06's+ can get sideways too just takes some practice.

 

1) The 04-07 STis do not have T/C.
2) The DCCD does NOT move more power to the rear wheels.
3) If you want to drift, sell your car and buy something else... you bought the wrong drift car.

 

I knew this thread would turn into people making asshole comments... I was just curious if there was any way to make it easier to drift in my car...

 

^go tell ken block you can't drift an AWD car. Or is that just powersliding? (idiot? seems a bit strong of course so does asshole) I'll leave the name calling for someone else.

O almost forgot here you go http://www.iwsti.com/forums/pro-motorsports/157069-gruppe-s-new-drift-car.html

That part (in my previous post in this thread) will work perfectly.

they're converting it to RWD!

 

OK snide comments aside I hope OP has at least learned his car does not have traction control. You make yourself sound kinda dumb walkin' around saying you cant drift because your traction control is on when your car doesn't have it. :lol:

Now what is the difference between a drift and a power slide? It's two words for the same thing as far as I'm concerned.

 

its kinda weird for me

but my 09 sti likes to oversteer more than my 04 did (without DCCD)

scandinavian flick helps

DCCD allows you to decide where the torque goes. it ranges from 50%front-50%rear(lock) to 35% front 65% rear.

Ok, here's am old video of my friend (black Sti) and me (Silver STi) Having some fun in a parking lot:

Too all the people giving the OP a hard time about "drifting". Shut up. Getting sideways in a 4wd car while all 4 wheels are spinning is what this car is all about.

x100:tup:

 

A few things:

1. If the OP wants to drift his car, let him. It is one thing to advise against it, but to make rude comments is uncalled for.
2. To the OP: practice makes perfect Just turn the DCCD to full open in a big parking lot and have some fun with it. You will learn more from experience than us telling you how to do it.
3. If the shenanigans persist in this thread, points will be issued with no second thoughts. You all have been warned.

OP: have fun and be safe :tup:

 

Sorry for bringing back an old thread, just wanted to put my 2 cents in. Correct me if i'm wrong, but I thought drifting has absolutely nothing to do with AWD, RWD, FWD, Turbo, or any of that. It's all about weight transfer, you can drift any car so long as you learn to control and use the g-forces correctly. The only difference the car makes is which technique or combination of techniques is a better suit.
