Wind rear lock on, have a brief joyus moment of oversteer rather than tree ploughing understeer for once

You cannot 'wind rear lock on' It's a myth.
Unlocked = open = no voltage input, it has a slight bias to the rear but it's certainly not 2wd. It's unpredictable, bordering on dangerously unstable on anything prior to 2005.
'Wound on' it's locked at 50/50, like a 4WD axle winding, plow steering Hilux.

Buy a Neetronics Callum, they work. In fact, if you set it up properly it'll be almost as good as a non DCCD gearbox!

If yours is the insertion type AMF, this may work

hahha i dont know about that. I heart my dccd. Drives very much like a rear driver to me.

Tiddy. What turbo does it have? VF36 is Spec c and VF37 is JDM sti. Not much difference apart from that i think. Not 100% sure though.

meatbag · #**127** 28-04-2011, 07:47 PM

VF 36 is a roller bearing version of the twin scroll VF37, also has a titanium turbine and shaft for even quicker spool.

VF 37 is thrust bearing.

JDM_STYLE · #**128** 28-04-2011, 07:52 PM

I thought 37 had a thrust bearing, which Dougie tell's me is better.

http://www.perth-wrx.com/vb/mechanic...specs-faq.html I basically just copy pasted from here, so happy to admit if I am wrong.

edit: yup I was

Same compressor housing as VF30/34, however twin scroll P25 exhaust housing provides slightly better top end output due to reduced exhaust pulse interference. This turbo is good for 400HP and used on JDM STI Spec C from 2003 onwards.

Its got a 37 on it again.
The headers are a bit different to the old standard ones I had before.
I wont be using an aftermarket dccd controller. Going to buy the standard sti unit as i have the 04 loom from bumper to bumper in the gc8.
