Numbchux Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 awesome, my buddy has a spiider controller (predecessor to the DCCDpro) and 6MT in his '93 tleg. I just love the way that thing handles, ESPECIALLY in low-traction situations. it's so responsive on initial turn-in while ice racing. like no other subaru I've driven. now I just have to convince Carl to let me "test drive" the rally car with the GEMS controller (controller alone cost like $2k ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoorManzImpreza Posted July 3, 2009 Share Posted July 3, 2009 awesome news Dave where did you mount the G sensor? Kaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
suberdave Posted July 3, 2009 Author Share Posted July 3, 2009 awesome news Davewhere did you mount the G sensor? Kaz mounted the G sensor right next to the parking brake. center of the car, best place for it IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carfreak85 Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 Siiiiiiiiiiick!!! i think its the only GL-10 in the word with a working DCCD... Probably one of the only non-GC/GD based vehicles to have operational DCCD, period... Very cool stuff. Any more insights into the benefits of this new tool of mayhem?

rguyver Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 excellent work on the 6speed swap hoping to get to my brat 6speed 2.5L swap this fall and i have the full car wiring harness including the DCCD comp. and g-sensor from a 2004 and i have bin told i dont need the wheel speed sensors for it to work properly they dont relate in 04 ? its only for the active stability control ABS comp. only ? just wondering what your thoughts are if you looked in to just using the stock DCCD comp. ? im prob. going to cut and weld in the tunnle out of a newer impreza or leg. to make it fit at all with out hitting .

Numbchux Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 our Rally car is an '04 STi. the ABS stuff is all disabled (all hardlines replumbed, none going near the pump. but the pump and wiring is still there). We had a wheel sensor fail at Gravity Park this year, and were unable to get it to work without the sensor (or ABS pump/computer). we tried a few different things, and the only thing that helped was a new sensor. worse part was, when it had the wheel sensor error, it would go to full-lock......not good. We came to the conclusion that the sensors were too vulnerable, which is why a GEMs controller was "obtained" (Thank goodness GEM is one of our sponsors ). since that installation, our driver has said he regrets not doing it sooner, as it has drastically improved the way the car handles. most notably under hard braking, the stock controller is programmed to release the center diff while braking hard to let the ABS pump control traction. but in any performance situation, you want that center diff to tighten up..... the DCCDpro controllers are suprising cheap, considering.....well worth the money IMHO.

suberdave Posted July 4, 2009 Author Share Posted July 4, 2009 just wondering what your thoughts are if you looked in to just using the stock DCCD comp. ? I bought my DCCDpro used for way cheeper than i could get the stock computer. and it only takes 5 wires to make it work. two to the diff, one ign power, one ground, and one to the TPS. took about 20 mins to make it all work. the stock computer would take that long just to look at the wiring...

nipper Posted July 4, 2009 Share Posted July 4, 2009 I've been watching this thread, and the site isnt that helpful, or i am not seeing what i want to see. So excuse the dumb questions (yes i do make them on occasion) What can this box be used on (transmissions years etc). This box basically is a far more agressive, controlable, and basically a plug in device? nipper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

suberdave Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 yeah the delux will plug into the IP and show the lock applied to the diff. if you already have the stock controls. you can cut off the big black knob and put the stock controls. he has a how to on dccdpro.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
presslab Posted July 26, 2009 Share Posted July 26, 2009 Very cool, the 6MT AWD is a great design. Your work is very impressive. I made my 4EAT in my GL-10 have DCCD (last year ) but it's not as cool as your planetary-gear torque distribution. Mine allows FWD, 75%, 100%, 150%, 200%, 4WD via a little knob next to the shift lever. http://www.ultimatesubaru.org/forum/showthread.php?p=775624 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
