Best AWD/4WD torque split controller

Hi all,

I did a quick search but did not find anything which really satisfied me

I am looking at options for a awd controller

From what I hear the ETS pro is the latest and greatest but still applies line pressure even in 2wd mode and can cause transfer failures, are failures common? Has this been raised with full race?

Ruzic is no longer available but was considered the best, it still used the factory analogue sensor though, would this still be considered better than the ETS pro?

 

cheers

Exquisit. I've had both.
The ets pro definitely does apply pressure when in 2wd. It turns the hydraulic pump off and does not prime. I had mine (r33) on hoist and fronts didn't turn.
Runic was good for track but much more subtle difference. Ets pro can be turned up, very aggressive. And 2wd mode can be fun.

Thanks richard

So even though it applies pressure in 2wd mode it does not turn the fronts at all, so the premature wear would be minimal at least in 2wd mode

It would be interesting to see how the car behaves on a hoist with the setting in awd mode, is it suppose to drive all 4 even though the g sensor does not detect it is moving?

Ets seems to be better as it is newer and uses its own g sensor but I am concerned about premature wear on a street car

Had both Ruzic and the Full-Race controllers, both good, but the dial and new G-Sensor make the Full-Race the winner.

.....I got a little creative and moved the controls to the steering wheel.

      How do you propose I cable tie this: To something securely? Is it really just a case of finding a couple of holes and ziptying it there so it never goes flying or starts dangling around, more or less? Then run a 1/8 BSP Female to [hose adapter of choice?/AN?] and then the opposing fitting at the bush-into-oil-block end? being the hose-into-realistically likely a 1/8 BSPT male) Is this going to provide any real benefit over using a stainless/steel 1/4 to 1/8 BSPT reducing bush? I am making the assumption the OEM sender is BSPT not BSPP/BSP

      Jacks that fit under GTR lips that can reach the subframe?

      I fashioned a ramp out of a couple of pieces of 140x35 lumber, to get the bumper up slightly, and then one of these is what I use

      I wouldn't worry about dissimilar metal corrosion, should you just buy/make a steel replacement. There will be thread tape and sealant compound between the metals. The few little spots where they touch each other will be deep inside the joint, unable to get wet. And the alloy block is much much larger than a small steel fitting, so there is plenty of "sacrificial" capacity there. Any bush you put in there will be dissimilar anyway. Either steel or brass. Maybe stainless. All of them are different to the other parts in the chain. But what I said above still applies.

      You are all good then, I didn't realise the port was in a part you can (have!) remove. Just pull the broken part out, clean it and the threads should be fine. Yes, the whole point about remote mounting is it takes almost all of the vibration out via the flexible hose. You just need a convenient chassis point and a cable tie or 3.

      ..this is the current state of that port. I appreciate the info help (and the link to the Earls thing @Duncan). Though going by that it seems like 1/4 then BSP'ing it and using a bush may work. I don't know where I'd be remote mounting the pressure sender... to... exactly. I assume the idea here is that any vibration is taken up by the semiflexible/flexible hose itself instead of it leveraging against the block directly. I want to believe a stronger, steel bush/adapter would work, but I don't know if that is engineeringly sound or just wishful thinking given the stupendous implications of a leak/failure in this spot. What are the real world risks of dissimilar metals here? It's a 6061 Aluminum block, and I'm talking brass or steel or SS adapters/things.
