THE DEVIL IS IN THE DETAIL
TEN DESIGN DETAILS FOR LANCER EVOLUTION X ENHANCED PERFORMANCE ~

1. No Reverse Gear –To save weight, the 5-speed manual transmission has no
dedicated reverse gear. Instead, it uses an arrangement in which first and third gears engage with an idler gear on a separate shaft to reverse the direction of rotation.

2. Spoilers In The Wheel Arch - The wheel houses have a miniscule spoiler lip
around the curve of the wheel to prevent the wind from swirling in the wheel
housing thus improving the aerodynamics of the vehicle.

3. Energy Saving Glass - Solar control glass uses an infrared absorbing material in its intermediate layer to reduce transmission of solar heat by 66-100%. The glass also cuts out transmission of ultra-violet light but transmits all visible light to keep the interior airy and light.

4. Stainless Steel Manifold - The exhaust system uses a stainless steel manifold,which is smoother than other alternatives to maximise airflow. An Inconel turbocharger is located downstream and optimisation of the compressor wheel has improved response by 18% over the Lancer Evolution IX.

5. Your Car, The Way You Want It - Mitsubishi’s ETACs (Electronic Total
Automobile Control) system allows you to personalise the set up of your car, just the way you want it. You can decide how long the interior light stays on after door closure, if at all. You decide when the wing mirrors fold in and out –at the touch of a button, or automatically when the door is closed and ignition switched on or off. You choose.

6. Acoustic Engineering – The latest in lightweight acoustic and vibration
dampening materials, including foam filling for the pillars, have been strategically placed throughout the body of the Lancer Evolution X. This ensures noise and vibration performance that befits a new generation high performance saloon,while minimising any weight increase.

7. Lights That Look Around Corners – The Adaptive Front Lighting System (AFS) uses high intensity discharge (HID) headlights increase the driver’s field of vision to make night driving safer. The clever bit is that the car detects when the driver turns the steering wheel and automatically switches on an additional beam to light up the oncoming corner.

8. External Vents Improve Breathing – Two bonnet vents release engine heat, as with previous Evolutions, but a new feature is the central air intake to help the engine breath and increase power output. New vents have also been added behind the front wheel to let engine heat escape more efficiently.

9. F1 Floating Piston Technology - The all-new aluminium engine is not only
12KG lighter than the previous 2.0 straight four unit, but also uses full floating
pistons made by Mahle, renowned for use in F1 cars. Made of a very hard and
strong alloy the pistons are able to handle the higher power produced by this
road-ready performance car.

EVO X Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission)

LANCER EVOLUTION X


Twin Clutch SST (Sport Shift Transmission)


The mechanism
Twin Clutch SST puts odd (1st, 3rd, 5th) and even (2nd, 4th and 6th) gears on separate input shafts, each connected to an individual clutch. With both clutches under precise system control, this arrangement allows lightening-fast, smooth and lag-free gear changes with no interruption in power delivery. Using clutches instead of a torque converter to transmit power makes the Twin Clutch SST simpler in structure and reduces power transmission losses for higher transmission efficiency that leads to improved fuel mileage.


Drive modes
Twin Clutch SST allows the driver to switch between three shifting programs - Normal, Sport and S-Sport - to cover the full range of driving situations, from town use to sporty motoring on open roads.

a. Normal mode
For use around town and other normal driving situations, Normal mode scheduling uses relatively low-speed shift points to deliver unobtrusive shifting for maximum comfort together with optimum fuel economy.

b. Sport mode
For use when driving in the mountains or when engine braking is required, Sport mode scheduling uses higher shift points and quicker shifting to deliver instant throttle response that instills in the driver a closer man/machine relationship.

c. S-Sport mode

Compared with Sport mode, S-Sport mode scheduling keeps the engine turning at higher revs while allowing lightening-fast shifting.

EVO X - How ACD Works

LANCER EVOLUTION X

Mitsubishi's Active Center Differential

How ACD Works in an Evo X:

Mitsubishi's ACD system works by dynamically adjusting the limited slip locking state of the center differential clutchpack. When we talk about "lock" on the center diff, it should not be interpreted as a distribution of torque from front to rear, rather it should be thought of only as a clamping force - which locks the Front and Rear outputs together, and prevents the center differential from behaving like an open differential. This is not the same as Nissan's ATTESA-ETS or Subaru's DCCD (both of which adjust torque split) -- ACD is fixed at 50:50 FWD to RWD, but instead ACD alters the clamping force on the center diff's clutchpack, see diagrams below:







The ACD is a bevel-gear type center differential with a front/rear torque distribution of 50:50. The differential is controlled by a hydraulic 'wet' multi-plate clutch, where the clutches are made from high strength steel. The maximum limited-slip torque of the multi-plate clutch is about three times that of a conventional VCU (viscous coupling) center differential: IE: 3 times the grip can be transferred to the wheels that need torque. Although some drag racers still prefer VC for its simplicity, ACD is technically far superior to the preceding Evo models (and certain USDM models) VCU. When the car is accelerating or decelerating rapidly, ACD calculates what the optimum locking amount would be and then engages the limited-slip locking mechanism by applying pressure to the plates via hydraulic ACD pump and solenoid. This ranges between full lock (16bar pressure), full open (0bar pressure), and all points in between. The harder you accelerate or decelerate, the more it locks - for maximum stability and traction. If the front wheels are spinning faster than the rear wheels, then the ACD begins to lock the clutches up. The pressures that can be generated or removed by the ACD system occur at surprisingly high speeds!



If the amount of force exerted by the front wheels is less than the amount the clutches resist, then the slip is stopped and both front and rear spin at the same speed. However, if the force the clutches can resist is less than the force exerted by the slipping set of wheels, then the wheels will slip, but only by how much remaining force the slipping wheels overpowered the clutches. When turning, the wheels in the front have to travel a further distance than the wheels in the rear. This is because the wheels in the front travel using a larger turning radius than the rear wheels, so in order for smooth turning, the center differential needs to become open to allow for the front set to turn at a different speed. If you were to leave the center differential locked, the tires would skip and chirp on asphalt. ACD effectively allows the differential to operate in more of a free state when steering movements are made. However the preset ACD maps that come with the car are designed to be forgiving for average drivers in stock lancer evolutions, not true motorsport setups with high power engines in modified chassis and suspension.
