Nice. Not.

I'm sitting here laughing, how can you all be so mechanically inclined, and fab up turbo kits made of junkyard parts, yet you don't know how the drivetrain of an AWD car works.

Here's a hint, the center differential is an open. If the brake bias is towards the front brakes, the rear wheels are the easier ones to spin, hence the "RWD" burnout.

Either way, I like the idea of removing the front axles, and maybe even the whole centre diff if you're not gonna weld the spider gears together, then beefing up the rear diff and axles. No transfer case to blow up = yay.

Plus, a burntout that long just takes ***** in cars notorious for drivetrain failure.

You are a ------ genius The center diff has a viscus(sp) coupling and transfers more power to the front wheels then the rear 60/40 split. The front shafts had to be pulled you can not do a brake stand in a awd and only smoke the rears.

Minor Threat

Explain how a differential can be biased to one side.

And a viscous diff still slips.

EDIT: A visous diff can be nothing but 50/50 split, and according to DSMtuners.com, the AWD torque split is 50/50.




So if you locked the front tires, and they weren't going anywhere, wouldn't you still be able to spin the rear tires? A visous diff doesn't lock up right away, and since it's fluid, never reall completely locks up anyways.

con

not a great explanation but:
AWD (All Wheel Drive) is the least defined category; often it includes
the full time 4wd category, but I tend to define it more strictly as
those vehicles that *only* send (a significant amount of) torque to
the other axle (mostly rear axles, only a few front axles) *after*
slip occurs. This behaviour is in contrast to full time, where all
wheels get torque all the time, and at least with a fairly even
balanced split (50/50% up to 33/66%, but much more bias than that
makes it rather AWD than full-time.

Minor Threat

But that's backing up what I said, if the front tires are locked by the brakes, they're not slipping, and enough power would be sent to the rears to break them loose.

Man, AWD confuses me..
