[@Geraldster]

It's not about front or rear bias, it's about how much locking force is applied in the electronic LSD of the center diff. The bias is dictated by the planetary gears and therefore always fixed at 41:59. This is hardware-driven and cannot be changed by electronics, which only control the increase or decrease in the LSD effect of the center diff.

[@Align700nitro]

This is exactly what the dccd is doing but it seems nobody understand such simple thing.

[@Trades46]

The DCCD as well as front & rear LSD are honestly the reasons I look forward to getting a STI more than a regular WRX.

[@mbsocalsti6157]

Love the videos brother but you are going over the DCCD and SI-DRIVE systems. The dial for Intelligent (I), Sport (S) & Sport Sharp (# ) is the SI-Drive system. VDC (vehicle dynamics control) is Subaru’s Electronic Stability Control. This is found in pretty much every Subaru model. It’s like traction control.

[@Smeedia]

Appreciate the feedback and thank you for clearing it up, I've always just referred to it as the VDC for some reason 😅

[@riprawc]

I thought I was losing my mind, or couldn’t read.

[@Holtenstein]

You also have aftermarket DCCD controllers that add quite a bit more than stock. MapDCCD and Spiider Plus, both are more sophisticated and can be customized as well as have better auto settings. Although this more applies to a WRX with swapped STI 6 speeds.

[@nickgrose4204]

11:35 love the tint on the prius lol

[@Smeedia]

Lmao had to go back and re-watch it 🤣🤣🤣

[@trex4586]

I found in my 06 sti most of the time I have it almost unlocked fully (usually in the second position from the bottom) and it stops the rear diff from doing the annoying clunk between gears at low speeds. If I have it fully unlocked it will do it almost all the time unless i'm accelerating hard between gears. When its wet roads i'll put it halfway locked for better front end control, but if it is snow/ice i'll keep it almost fully locked. Only time I ever lock it is when I am drifting in really deep snow, I do notice the steering get much stiffer as I increase the diff lock as well. Fuel economy is effected greatly by having it more locked as well, so that's why I mainly keep it unlocked. In auto mode I can feel my car almost always has my diffs locked cause my steering gets heavy and you can hear the front diff wine more. Love having the option to change between the settings though, manual mode is definitely the way to go!

[@Smeedia]

Just takes the time to learn how to use the manual setting and the best way to do it is by playing with it. Seems like you've got yours dialed in and figured out!

[@asphaltannihilator157]

Lol every wrx is turbo

[@romankartsev220]

Thank you for explaining everything so well! I been trying to decide to get wrx or sti for many years. DCCD and VDC sounds great but thats an extra gadget or equipment that ads more weight to the car and causes reliability to go down because its more stuff to break down. I wish they made the WRX with the STI transmission and the 2.5 liter and sti turbo because I really don't like the idea of adjusting all these nobs. WRX seems much simpler but it has weaker transmission and rev hang and less power than STI. Plus sti can be modified very heavily up to 600 horsepower with factory transmission. So they are very different cars on the internals.

[@ewankerley4840]

Just build an STI swapped WRX if you haven’t already. That’s what I’m in the process of doing atm.

[@TheSharpLifeDad]

Honestly i couldn't go back. The benefits of both are like a different car and awesome to change it up. Auto + is a beast that pulls you through tough turns if you can manhandle the torque steer. True AWD feel. Wish we had split % #s for +/- and all manual ranges. I believe LOCK is locked 50/50.

[@Smeedia]

It would be awesome to be able to had that additional torque split. But the DCCD is such a good tool to be able to use 🔥

[@ironman15422]

Auto+ makes the steering wheel seem heavier, I have a 2020 and I love it 😻 but definitely auto- and sport# ❤️

[@nthgth]

Just got a '20 STI a few months ago. I figure for most driving, leaving DCCD in manual and with full "minus" puts it as open as possible (lowest chance of binding) and since it's not auto, it won't be constantly adjusting things so they aren't wearing out as fast. Make sense? Also, in traffic, I find Sport+ best because it's easiest to avoid stalling if the engine responds immediately ☺️ Does the SI Drive setting matter when in cruise control, given that the throttle is fully automated then? 🤔

[@Smeedia]

When it cruise control it won't really matter the SI drive just adjustments the sensitivity if the gas pedal 🔥

what made that oil pressure go off you think ? your face wss funny during that part. great vid man

[@Flightagressor97]

Hey man, you got it pretty wrong on how the DCCD works. It doesn't bias front or rear. It simply modulates the amount of lock up force the DCCD clutches apply. Also VDC is not that knob. That's called SI-Drive, which is just a tune mapping changer.

[@Aciecarter238]

Do you need to stop before you change tp auto plus or change it

[@Align700nitro]

Auto + and - is not bias front or Rear. it's just how much force will there be to keep the C Diff engaged. + means the C diff is firm with very little slip that your rear wheel speed with match front wheel speed if either wheel lost traction. - means the C diff is loosely engaged and power will be send to the wheel that lost traction. Please refer to page 7-20 on the Owner's Manual which makes everything crystal clear.....

Im protuned by Johnson tuning. I still feel a big difference when going through the VDC modes. Intelligent wont let my boost dont past 8lbs. Sport gives it a nice response. And sport# is too agressive lol. I hate that mode. Its good for racing but normal driving its too agressive and responsive. If i drive in sport mode for a while and switch to sport#, i find my self over revving the car in first gear.

[@Smeedia]

Sounds like it has a solid tine on it and is a lot of fun to drive though 😍

[@ddanci1973]

'SI-Drive' and 'VDC' are two completely different things. What you're referring to as VDC is actually SI-Drive. It does what you describe and I agree that it's pretty pointless. Although on automatic transmissions it's supposed to change shift points and the way it shifts, so maybe it makes a bit more sense there. VDC, on the other hand, is basically ESP - electronic stability program. It uses accelerometers (G-sensors) and gyros to detect 'unusual movement' (a.k.a. sliding out of control) and than cuts power and / or applies individual brakes to stabilize the vehicle.

[@Smeedia]

Left a note in the description that I pulled thr names backwards but that you for adding the clarification!
