I had a question so the software being used is it the same software as the Cyber Evo or is it just like the software of the Cyber Evo ?

We are actually the only US based company with the ability to reflash ACD's. We are working with the only company in Japan with this technology to develop these reflashes for US based customers.

I am not positive what the cyber evo is running in terms of acd control, I would assume either a Garage HRS ACD unit or a custom flash similar to what we are offering to the US evo community.

can't wait to see results I am local usually how long would it take if I swung by the shop? and for the street, race and rally flash what is the average toque split for the particular flash ?

Torque split on the ACD is always 50/50 no matter what. The flash adjusts the percentage of lock up or unlock and responce time to inputs from what I gathered!

Very nice

I think street is the application would be best for myself but how is the snow mode with that flash in actual snow? I'm moving here within a month and where I'm going there is going to be some snow this next winter....eeek

one more question...how would the flash do me if I decided to hit the drag strip a few times?

Installation is less than 5 minutes, all we do is unplug your oem ACD ECU and plug in ours.

This is exactly what the reflash does. We basically remap the factory unit to change the amount of pressure the ACD pump applies to the center diff which in turn alters the lock up characteristics specifically when cornering.

The snow setting is designed around wet surfaces so you will retain a similar feel to the stock flash with a reduction in the hesitation the stock ecu has. These units are NOT designed to improve straight line performance they are designed to improve the vehicles cornering ability. You will notice a difference when driving in a straight line as for as the differentials locking characteristics are concerned but we are not expecting to see improved 1/4 times with these flashes.

Not only for yourself but anyone who will be using their evo on the track will more than likely prefer the race unit.

Is this supposed to make the car handle more like a RWD car, or just handle more neutrally???

I think it's behind glove box/passenger kick panel?

I found that out here http://evolvedperformance.com/?p=52
