They should totally do a video on the Focus RS system because it's really clever, but it can't actually send 100% of the torque to one specific wheel. Best it can do is a 70/30 split to the rear, with vectoring of that amount side to side.

Second, if you'd bother to learn why metric caught on in Europe, i.e to replace a morass of countless competing standards, you'd understand why it wasn't adopted by a continent that already had a single standard of measurements.
Really wish you guys touched on SH-AWD! The RL in 2005 had a proper mechanical torque vectoring rear diff, and an 'acceleration device' at the rear axle, overdriving the rear wheels by some ~2%-5%. It could do 20/80 or 80/20 split, AND send 100% of the power at the rear axle to one wheel. It's a super sophisticated system, and was/is used in everything from the RL to TL, to even having the torque vectoring diff in the MDX and RDX!
The most impressive thing to me was that they got open diff 50:50 torque split right. After their "explanation" for rotational inertia I was sure they would mess it up. But they didn't! Great job, I guess.

That open-diff brake-based thing kinda reminds me of the antique tractor I sometimes use for scraping snow off the driveway and mowing fields and stuff. It has 2 brake pedals, one for the left, one for the right, and if it's in a slick spot and having trouble going around a sharp turn, I step on the inside brake and it pulls it right around (although, obviously not automatic)
That's not just on antique tractors. I had a 2006 John Deere that I used all around my small farm. When I mowed hay I would uncouple the brake pedals so I could brake on the inside of the turn. This would allow me to make a u-turn at the end of the row around the point of the inside wheel. This set me back on a path parallel to the previous row. At other times if one wheel started to spin on soft ground there was a lever I could push with the heal of my left foot to lock the rear diff and it would get traction and pull through. Lots of times operating my tractor took both hands and feet to make it all happen.
Jerry an B2B are my favorite episodes on Donut. I have a comprehension problem so the audible explanations helps me tremendously. Thx again jerry for helping a limited wannabe engineer... You tha Man...
So many honduh fanbois... "super handling" awd is nothing special. Honda keeps trying to make Acura into something it's not, and they keep failing. You'd think they would have learned a lesson or two from GM by now - you can't polish a turd. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't turn the pig into Marilyn Monroe. Putting brighter headlights and an interior made of different plastics into a Honda doesn't change it into something else. Acura will always be second tier to actual European makes. They just can't shed that basic, cheap Asian feel at their core.
Agreed, it was even introduced ALL the way back in 2005 on the Acura RL (I owned one for 7 years). It's NOT a brake based torque-vectoring like others that Jerry mentioned!
@@VorsprungDurchNik Did a guy who drives a Honda fuck your girlfriend - or do you have anything to contribute to the conversation that actually speaks to the engineering of the all wheel drive systems? Here's something that might help (see the description for a condensed version on how it's a unique system and different from their AWD) th-cam.com/video/Yz9ol5zy5nk/w-d-xo.html
Dude. Very, very good explanation. I could not have said it better myself but here’s my request: FWD cars that fight their own urge to understeer… so weight transfer is as important as “from the wheels that slip, to the wheels that grip” -Subaru advertising. Now, a front wheel drive car can avoid understeer in a few different ways. The Honda or Acura Integra… the Pontiac Grand Prix GT specifically because the GTP was supercharged and unfair to the crowd…. Now what about the Cavalier SS? Who made the best FWD rocket… Mazda 3 is a hatch so I can’t include that. Think about those legendary FWD cars we love to hate and hate to love… did they use stability management?? I’ll say the, “Wider is better” slogan from Pontiac was true to a point. I turned that car inside out around the turns. Carved those wedges and I hated that it was FWD. VERY effective platform. I turned off the stability control and smoked those tires. Turn it back on and smoked those Mustangs that I love so much. Hahah
Watching this reminded me of my 1st Gen Acura RDX. The SH-AWD system made that little CUV handle in ways it didn't had a right to for its category. Absolutely loved it once I realized that to get the most of it, using the throttle through the turn was key. I still miss it. They changed their character once SH-AWD was no longer offered.

I absolutely love these videos they've taught me SOO MUCH about my car or cars in general but I have to admit this is by FARRRRRRRRt the most confusing episode yet ...
it's a lot of information at once, i'll admit I had to pause it a bunch of times or even replay parts to process before continuing, but in Donut's defense... "the most confusing" is in the title of the video, so it's not supposed to be super easy to understand.
Yeah, I'd love to see a B2B on "posi" differentials, including the old school Detroit Locker, vs a TrueTrac, an Auburn, and the GM eLocker. Then there are the ARB Air Locker, the now defunct Gleason Torsen, and cheaper "lunchbox lockers" like the LocRite.
True Trac/wavetrack/powertrax or ARB for the win....trust me....I ship thousands of diff parts every day. True Trac can torque bias through its helical(or any helical of that design type) internal gears, also they don't require additive or clutch replacement over time(so they make up the difference from cheaper clutch style options) ARB is nice, but comes with all the caveats of installing an air system. Or you can get a motive wavetrack(helical like the eaton...pricey, but LIFETIME WARRANTY)....or I'd also recommend Richmond Powertrax pro series helicals....middle of road on cost...no additive or clutches to deal with still. Run from Auburn. Just back away from it slowly and turn and run. Interesting idea, but not rebuildable and uses special "conical" clutches....that you can't replace. Detroit lockers are pretty decent(but those are a locker....not a limited slip) but are pretty aggressive usually with dragging the outside wheel...not quite like a spool...but not pleasant on the street.
Spartans and lunchbox lockers go inside your factory open diff case after you pull spiders(most times, a few different ones use a cpl of the factory spider gears along with the new parts. E lockers work OK, but are not suited for serious wheeling/hp in most situations as they rely on magnetic actuated "pins" most times to engage on part of elocker....so not super robust...but will lock. GM oe limited slips are known as "gov bombs"....there's a reason
@@bluewffl8472 Yeah, the Auburn is just like the GM Positraction, Ford TracLoc, or 70-up Mopar SureGrip. Not rebuildable. The older SureGrips could be reclutched. The original Detroit is harsh. The TrueTrac would be my choice, if funds allow. I'd settle for a LocRite, but as a Mopar guy, I know ya can't get em for the 8.75.
I am a little confuse about the joke Jeremiah makes about torque @7:00. Isn't it the inside wheel that gets all the torque wasted because it broke traction? It should be the inside wheel saying: "it's my torque ablalblalabllalba" while wasting it.

Why was Honda not mentioned? They were the first to implement an Active Torque Transfer System (aka: ATTS, on the Prelude, in 1997) that used clutches to direct power, instead of brakes (to waste power!)
Acura/Honda did electronically controlled electromagnetic clutch packs for active torque vectoring in the SH-AWD system on the 2005 Honda Legend/Acura RL! Standard!
About a decade earlier they had ATTS on the fifth generation Prelude Used clutch packs to feed more power to the outside wheel when cornering This was 97 that it was first introduced so the Prelude really lived up to its name with this bit of tech

I really like your content, specially when you approach engineering and the specs of racing categories. Please keep up the good work. I know that your audience is mainly US based, but I strongly suggest that you place both imperial and metric measurements. Nm is a standard unit and one that makes the whole pound-foot question more obvious for those who are somewhat familiar with kinematics from high schoool. If think it is also helpful to establish that an open differential has some advantages besides the cost. Again, good job.
I didn't really understand how well brake torque vectoring works till I got my C6 Vette. Makes you feel like a freaking racecar driver. Could literally throw the car was faster into a turn than you think you can and all you feel is GRIP!
Beautiful car. My dad had a 78 Vette. He only added a cam. I freaking loved that car. It reminds me of the Batmobile and the SR-71 Blackbird. Drive safely, my friend.

Acura had torque vectoring well before Lexus. In 2004, the '05 Acura RL introduced torque-vectoring all-wheel drive. As far as the Lexus system, nearly every Lexus since 2006 (and even many Toyotas) have vehicle-dynamics integrated management, which is essentially brake vectoring on steroids, capable of making millisecond-by-millisecond braking, throttle, and even power steering adjustments to prevent under or oversteer, often before it is even noticed by the driver.
Dont forget about the rear diff in a Nissan juke, its got lotsa clutches just like the sh system honda made. I personally drive an 09 rdx which is a very under rated car.
@@christoforospaphitis4090 the Evo had clutches in the rear axle, but it couldn't overdrive the rear axle like SH-AWD. Only the Evo 10th-generation had true torque vectoring.
it just depends on where you live, this youtube channel is in the US so they're gonna discuss US cars and US units mainly, they may be "wrong" in the global scope but if you're an american and somebody tells you something in newton-meters they'll ask you why you're talking about fruit bars instead of car parts
@@ayaderg The US was the first country that started with implementing the part of the metric system in 1792 with decimal currency, _the dollar cent,_ although the quarter still exists. That was even before France, first country, implemented the metric system in 1795.

At 6:50-ish there you had the tires mixed up. The outside won't spin as it has the grip thanks to the higher load thanks to weight transfer while turning. It's the unloaded inside tire that spins.

Great video. Only thing is, I'm not so sure how much maintenence a LSD needs. I own a 30 year old Fox Mustang with 130k miles. A lot of those have been pretty hard miles. I have changed the dif fluid to synthetic around 50k miles, but that's it. The LSD still works awesome. Lays two long patches anywhere of any length at any time.
Thank you so much for this explanation! I retained none of the information provided and will act like a certified mechanical engineer in every situation possible
@TheSlayer97 Genuinely, I have never seen or heard any Americans use Newton meters outside of science classes in high school and college, if it bothers you that badly for all the hypothetical numbers in the video, just replace him saying lb-ft with Newton meters
Just bought my first car with a torsen limited slip, please do the video! I love getting knowledge from you guys, great teachers and easy to understand
4:12 the common unit of torque is not the pound-foot, it's the newton meter. Even the pound-foot itself is based on the metric system nowadays, just like the rest of the imperial system. So calling it the common measurement like the USA aren't the only ones using it, is just wrong.

As far as I understand, torque vectoring is where torque is actually transferred using clutch packs or a mechanical system. Like in EVOs. While using brakes is now called torque vectoring, it is kind works in the opposite manor and is completly a reactive system unlike an evo
VW released in 2013 on the Golf mk7 GTI Performance Pack the VAQ differential, that works with XDS. Basically that's the FWD version of what Lexus introduced later on the RCF. The VAQ has clutches to send more torque to the wheel with more grip and XDS is a brake based torque vectoring system, already available since 2009.
I have actually been looking forward to this video and the center differential video you mentioned since I was a kid playing Gran Turismo 2. I Always toyed with the adjustable settings on those center differentials and two-way limited slip LSDs but I didn't realize there were different ways of building a locking differential. I never appreciated the Active Stability Management as they called it (the brake based system). If I remember right this system was even supposed to apply breaks to wheels that weren't even driven to stabilize the car during excessive YAW. To me it just made the cars' handling feel more like an arcade game and I prefer to just rely on the adjustable limited slip differentials, it allows me to control how the steering feels.
Were just discussing with a friend how the new EV rally cars etc will handle the twisties with full torque from 1 rpm. So yea, looking forward to EV torque vectoring video and maybe a comparison from RWD/AWD/EV. Keep it up!
The Lexus TVD in the RC-F is a bit more than where you left it with just electronic control of the clutch packs. What really makes the Lexus version different is that the clutch packs engage a planetary gear set that OVERDRIVES the outside wheel by 1.5 to 3 percent more than the differential output. You can actually feel the yaw moment when it is helping to drive the rear outside wheel faster to push it around the corner. Fun fact, it is also 80lbs heavier than just their standard Torsen rear diff.
Looking forward to that upcoming episode. I have an AWD Lincoln and apparently it's FWD on a normal basis, and AWD when it needs to be. However, whenever I'm driving it and I need to do something that being AWD outshines FWD in, like hard acceleration from a standstill, or pulling through snow, this car does it seamlessly as if it's been in AWD the whole time! Would love to see what that big transmission looking thing in the back is doing behind those walls.
this may be the only instructional/informational video i've ever watched that I was sad it was ending...i didn't want it to be over....The Binge Begins..
I live in a rural section of Ontario Canada. I drive a 16 y.o. open diff Crown Vic - which is surprising because I thought limited was standard on all P-71 spec cars. Covid times have been tough so I'm still running decade old summer rubber down to the wear bars, 5 months a year, 16 Km at the end of an ice road, with one particular part that I call 'Nemisis Hill' - a 90 degree turn at the bottom of a quarter mile 12 percent grade. There are some hairy mornings, and I've come down backwards twice in five years .. but I still trust my go foot, the ghost of ol' Hank, and 45 winters driving junk over whatever computer crap they're trying to shove down my throat.
Man said "I ain't talking about differential in calculus either" then did an entire mini segment on the literal differential equation factor of force used to produce rotational speed in an open diff. 😂 I love it man
The gyroscope joke gave me a good laugh. We have a local gyro restaurant and people are always pronouncing "gyro" (the meat) like "gyro" in "gyroscope" and it makes my eye twitch just a little everytime 😂
Remember that Subaru commercial on NPR ... "with torque vectoring that sends power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip" or something like that. Maybe that's why so many Subaru owners listen to NPR?
good episode! I think I'd change the title to "differences in torque vectoring systems" or something like that. No torque vectoring system is dumb; even the simplest form is beneficial in a street application. A braking system is technically still torque vectoring; you are increasing torque sent to the other wheel.
Honda’s SH-AWD system, with its over-driven rear diff, and clutch system, is nothing short of witchcraft when you really hurl it into corners. The humble Acura RL, with its loafy ride, stately interior, and mediocre steering feel comes ALIVE when pushed hard. The outside rear tire SHOVES the car around the corner, it feels organic and alive. It’s some seriously brilliant engineering.
You guys should make a video on variable valve timing systems and how they work. For example: Honda VTEC and i-VTEC, Toyota VVT-i, BMW VANOS, Mitsubishi MIVEC, Koenigsegg Free Valve, etc.
The difference between ft-lb and lb-ft is where the force is applied. If applied from the center out (like an axle), it's lb-ft. If applied to the center (like a wrench), is ft-lb. That's why car manufacturers and tool manufacturers differ in their units.
I'm pretty sure that GM's Positraction a half century ago had the clutch plates all inside the differential carrier. It used a ramping action to increase drive through the wheel with better traction. I had a friend with a new Pontiac Tempest with the base 326. Not a GTO. But because he had PT, his car was much faster off of the line until the GTO would blow past. No spinning of tires, just GO. I had a Dodge van which I often took out to the Mojave desert in CA. I swapped out the standard diff for the Chrysler limited slip. Well, sir, this was a very different concept and a lot cheaper than clutch packs. Hard to describe, partly because it's been so many years ago. Both rear axles were connected to the carrier and each other via a highly polished cone and receiver for the cone. One for each axle. There were very strong springs pushing the cone into the receiver. On a turn on pavement, the cones and receivers would slip and thus act like an open differential. When one wheel started losing traction in sand, say, it acted like a locked differential. I.e., no differential. This was great out there in the Mojave. I'm not saying it was like 4WD, but it went a long way there. However.............I moved back to Colorado. On snow and ice, it had no forgiveness. That locked differential. The back end would kick wide with the slightest of throttle. Hard to believe that Chrysler was OK with this design.
Let's get that b2b episode about differentials!

Torque equals the cross product of the distance vector and force vector.
In cross-products, unlike dot-products, the order matters.
The unit should be FtLb, not the other way around.
Dot product:
A • B = B • A
Cross product:
A x B ≠ B x A
Although the SI unit for torque is Newton-meters (Nm), it should be meters-Newton (mN).

Rivian's powertrain is essentially the holy grail for torque vectoring. Looking forward to the EV episode!
Would have been a great opportunity to talk about the Evo X MR's TC-SST and "active yaw control"
i was looking to hear about the evo
yeah I was surprised AYC wasn't mentioned! although they did do a whole episode about it...
Please donut make it happen!
I think the Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution X was the first car with the "full fat" torque vectoring
AYC been around for years. Galant VR4
*The level of detail you guys go into just amazing stuff swear I'm learning so many new things*
Make sure to include SH-AWD from Acura when you discuss AWD systems and vectoring.
Even though Hondas “AWD” system is shit? There’s plenty of roller tests that they’ve failed since the AWD just doesn’t work
@@thegoldentheory4383 Honda Real-Time AWD is a different system than Honda's SH-AWD
So many honduh fanbois... "super handling" awd is nothing special. Honda keeps trying to make Acura into something it's not, and they keep failing. You'd think they would have learned a lesson or two from GM by now - you can't polish a turd. Putting lipstick on a pig doesn't turn the pig into Marilyn Monroe. Putting brighter headlights and an interior made of different plastics into a Honda doesn't change it into something else. Acura will always be second tier to actual European makes. They just can't shed that basic, cheap Asian feel at their core.
Agreed, it was even introduced ALL the way back in 2005 on the Acura RL (I owned one for 7 years). It's NOT a brake based torque-vectoring like others that Jerry mentioned!
@@VorsprungDurchNik Did a guy who drives a Honda fuck your girlfriend - or do you have anything to contribute to the conversation that actually speaks to the engineering of the all wheel drive systems?
Here's something that might help (see the description for a condensed version on how it's a unique system and different from their AWD)
th-cam.com/video/Yz9ol5zy5nk/w-d-xo.html
You have to do an episode on Acura's SH-AWD system. Would be awesome with how detailed your videos are.
Dude. Very, very good explanation. I could not have said it better myself but here’s my request: FWD cars that fight their own urge to understeer… so weight transfer is as important as “from the wheels that slip, to the wheels that grip” -Subaru advertising. Now, a front wheel drive car can avoid understeer in a few different ways. The Honda or Acura Integra… the Pontiac Grand Prix GT specifically because the GTP was supercharged and unfair to the crowd…. Now what about the Cavalier SS? Who made the best FWD rocket… Mazda 3 is a hatch so I can’t include that. Think about those legendary FWD cars we love to hate and hate to love… did they use stability management?? I’ll say the, “Wider is better” slogan from Pontiac was true to a point. I turned that car inside out around the turns. Carved those wedges and I hated that it was FWD. VERY effective platform. I turned off the stability control and smoked those tires. Turn it back on and smoked those Mustangs that I love so much. Hahah
I cannot believe that I forgot about the Taurus SHO. SVO? Yep. Who made the best FWD.
The production quality of these animations is phenomenal - congrats team!
But the dude talking has ADHD and gets diverted.

Watching this reminded me of my 1st Gen Acura RDX. The SH-AWD system made that little CUV handle in ways it didn't had a right to for its category. Absolutely loved it once I realized that to get the most of it, using the throttle through the turn was key. I still miss it. They changed their character once SH-AWD was no longer offered.

I would love an episode about how electric vehicles do torque vectoring, especially for off-road oriented trucks. How does torque vectoring work in EVs with 1 or 2 or 3 or 4 motors?
In a four motor EV I’d imagine the “diff” would be mainly software controlled I’d imagine
I'd love to hear about quattro awd vs symmetrical awd. May be even talk about Honda & Acura iVTM4/sh-awd or Toyota TV-AWD. Especially as a Toyota lover would like to see if Toyota torque vectoring awd can be of any use or its just marketing bs?

Toyota TV is def something I would watch
I would definitely love an episode on electric cars and how they deal with torque on the street and off road because off road =]
My favorite torque vectoring experience so far was the Evo 8. Makes driving quickly so easy and with a lot of control.
I absolutely love these videos they've taught me SOO MUCH about my car or cars in general but I have to admit this is by FARRRRRRRRt the most confusing episode yet ...
it's a lot of information at once, i'll admit I had to pause it a bunch of times or even replay parts to process before continuing, but in Donut's defense... "the most confusing" is in the title of the video, so it's not supposed to be super easy to understand.
Definitely late on this, but Acura's 1st gen SH-AWD was definitely ahead of it's time
I would absolutely appreciate a deep-dive video on differentials. The mechanics behind them, the different types, final drive ratios, etc.
Yeah, I'd love to see a B2B on "posi" differentials, including the old school Detroit Locker, vs a TrueTrac, an Auburn, and the GM eLocker. Then there are the ARB Air Locker, the now defunct Gleason Torsen, and cheaper "lunchbox lockers" like the LocRite.
True Trac/wavetrack/powertrax or ARB for the win....trust me....I ship thousands of diff parts every day. True Trac can torque bias through its helical(or any helical of that design type) internal gears, also they don't require additive or clutch replacement over time(so they make up the difference from cheaper clutch style options) ARB is nice, but comes with all the caveats of installing an air system. Or you can get a motive wavetrack(helical like the eaton...pricey, but LIFETIME WARRANTY)....or I'd also recommend Richmond Powertrax pro series helicals....middle of road on cost...no additive or clutches to deal with still. Run from Auburn. Just back away from it slowly and turn and run. Interesting idea, but not rebuildable and uses special "conical" clutches....that you can't replace. Detroit lockers are pretty decent(but those are a locker....not a limited slip) but are pretty aggressive usually with dragging the outside wheel...not quite like a spool...but not pleasant on the street.
Spartans and lunchbox lockers go inside your factory open diff case after you pull spiders(most times, a few different ones use a cpl of the factory spider gears along with the new parts. E lockers work OK, but are not suited for serious wheeling/hp in most situations as they rely on magnetic actuated "pins" most times to engage on part of elocker....so not super robust...but will lock. GM oe limited slips are known as "gov bombs"....there's a reason
Torsen diffs work like any other helical for most part....just slightly different designs
@@bluewffl8472 Yeah, the Auburn is just like the GM Positraction, Ford TracLoc, or 70-up Mopar SureGrip. Not rebuildable. The older SureGrips could be reclutched. The original Detroit is harsh. The TrueTrac would be my choice, if funds allow. I'd settle for a LocRite, but as a Mopar guy, I know ya can't get em for the 8.75.
I am a little confuse about the joke Jeremiah makes about torque @7:00. Isn't it the inside wheel that gets all the torque wasted because it broke traction? It should be the inside wheel saying: "it's my torque ablalblalabllalba" while wasting it.
Yes you are right 😅
Even I thought that for a second.
I had to watch that part a few times before I realized it was a mistake, I thought I was so dumb for a second trying to figure it out lol
Got very confused there for a second, had to watch it a couple times as well

There's nothing I'd want more than AWD and electric torque vectoring b2bs!
But I do love a bit of LSD...
Why was Honda not mentioned? They were the first to implement an Active Torque Transfer System (aka: ATTS, on the Prelude, in 1997) that used clutches to direct power, instead of brakes (to waste power!)
Acura/Honda did electronically controlled electromagnetic clutch packs for active torque vectoring in the SH-AWD system on the 2005 Honda Legend/Acura RL! Standard!
About a decade earlier they had ATTS on the fifth generation Prelude
Used clutch packs to feed more power to the outside wheel when cornering
This was 97 that it was first introduced so the Prelude really lived up to its name with this bit of tech
The TON-MILE has always been my favorite unit of measure, commonly used to quantify mechanical wear of large wire-ropes used in very heavy lifting gear like that used in a drilling rig’s draw-works.

So it's not an enormous unit of torque and is instead a measure of wear based on how much weight has been applied over a length of wire-rope?
@@skaldlouiscyphre2453 I believe the metric first found use in the locomotive/freight/rail industry. Something to the tune of the weight in short tons divided by the distance travelled in miles equals ton/miles. I suppose it could be used many different application of scale, but wouldn’t an engine large enough to have it’s power output measured in ton-miles be awesome!? 🤘🏼

It's my second favourite series after Wheel House 🙏
I really like your content, specially when you approach engineering and the specs of racing categories. Please keep up the good work.
I know that your audience is mainly US based, but I strongly suggest that you place both imperial and metric measurements. Nm is a standard unit and one that makes the whole pound-foot question more obvious for those who are somewhat familiar with kinematics from high schoool.
If think it is also helpful to establish that an open differential has some advantages besides the cost.
Again, good job.
I didn't really understand how well brake torque vectoring works till I got my C6 Vette. Makes you feel like a freaking racecar driver. Could literally throw the car was faster into a turn than you think you can and all you feel is GRIP!
Beautiful car. My dad had a 78 Vette. He only added a cam. I freaking loved that car. It reminds me of the Batmobile and the SR-71 Blackbird.

Acura had torque vectoring well before Lexus. In 2004, the '05 Acura RL introduced torque-vectoring all-wheel drive.
As far as the Lexus system, nearly every Lexus since 2006 (and even many Toyotas) have vehicle-dynamics integrated management, which is essentially brake vectoring on steroids, capable of making millisecond-by-millisecond braking, throttle, and even power steering adjustments to prevent under or oversteer, often before it is even noticed by the driver.
Dont forget about the rear diff in a Nissan juke, its got lotsa clutches just like the sh system honda made. I personally drive an 09 rdx which is a very under rated car.
@@jamesgasper8630 Mitsubishi Lancer Evolution from the 90's dude
@@christoforospaphitis4090 the Evo had clutches in the rear axle, but it couldn't overdrive the rear axle like SH-AWD. Only the Evo 10th-generation had true torque vectoring.
4:12 The common unit of torque isn't LB-FT .... it is NM (newton meter)
Americans: *complain about lb-ft*
"Wouldn't have this issue if you would move out of the 19th century and start using real units like everybody else"
it just depends on where you live, this youtube channel is in the US so they're gonna discuss US cars and US units mainly, they may be "wrong" in the global scope but if you're an american and somebody tells you something in newton-meters they'll ask you why you're talking about fruit bars instead of car parts
@@ayaderg The US was the first country that started with implementing the part of the metric system in 1792 with decimal currency, _the dollar cent,_ although the quarter still exists.
That was even before France, first country, implemented the metric system in 1795.
I'd enjoy an episode on torque systems in front wheel drive cars, like the ATTS model Honda used in the Prelude Type SH
My TLX Type S’s SH-AWD is by far the best AWD I’ve ever driven. I’d love to see a comparison to Audis’s Quattro AWD system. That’d be an interesting to see since I couldn’t find any other channel that had them both, or any systems amongst manufactures for that matter.
as someone currently failing Cal 1, that differential joke hit a little too hard
I’m surprised Acura’s SH-AWD wasn’t mentioned. Guess it’s an even more complex system
This was solely based on rear wheel drive
@@jonathanaminiel1823 that’s a good point, probably why they went to Lexus to explain it instead of Acura

Isn't this like the third title by now?
At 6:50-ish there you had the tires mixed up. The outside won't spin as it has the grip thanks to the higher load thanks to weight transfer while turning. It's the unloaded inside tire that spins.
I love how smart this is! I will just believe in the magic of engineering until I can study this enough in detail

Great video. Only thing is, I'm not so sure how much maintenence a LSD needs. I own a 30 year old Fox Mustang with 130k miles. A lot of those have been pretty hard miles.

Why not just use Newton metres for torque to make it less confusing?
Likely because the target audience is American
@@thomaseaton6142 yeah well Americans sometimes use nm as well and if the rest of the world uses it, then why make it more confusing?

Day 277 of asking Donut to bring old B2B back
ohhh buzz off. things change. deal.
As far as I understand, torque vectoring is where torque is actually transferred using clutch packs or a mechanical system. Like in EVOs. While using brakes is now called torque vectoring, it is kind works in the opposite manor and is completly a reactive system unlike an evo
please make a B2B on differentials and AWD
Yes please make the vid on the differentials!
What difference does it make
VW released in 2013 on the Golf mk7 GTI Performance Pack the VAQ differential, that works with XDS. Basically that's the FWD version of what Lexus introduced later on the RCF. The VAQ has clutches to send more torque to the wheel with more grip and XDS is a brake based torque vectoring system, already available since 2009.
I have actually been looking forward to this video and the center differential video you mentioned since I was a kid playing Gran Turismo 2. I Always toyed with the adjustable settings on those center differentials and two-way limited slip LSDs but I didn't realize there were different ways of building a locking differential. I never appreciated the Active Stability Management as they called it (the brake based system). If I remember right this system was even supposed to apply breaks to wheels that weren't even driven to stabilize the car during excessive YAW. To me it just made the cars' handling feel more like an arcade game and I prefer to just rely on the adjustable limited slip differentials, it allows me to control how the steering feels.
Were just discussing with a friend how the new EV rally cars etc will handle the twisties with full torque from 1 rpm. So yea, looking forward to EV torque vectoring video and maybe a comparison from RWD/AWD/EV. Keep it up!
I'd like to know why it matters what torque they make at 1 RPM lol
The Lexus TVD in the RC-F is a bit more than where you left it with just electronic control of the clutch packs. What really makes the Lexus version different is that the clutch packs engage a planetary gear set that OVERDRIVES the outside wheel by 1.5 to 3 percent more than the differential output. You can actually feel the yaw moment when it is helping to drive the rear outside wheel faster to push it around the corner. Fun fact, it is also 80lbs heavier than just their standard Torsen rear diff.
Every possible episode you proposed in this video, I want it. Every single one of them.
Looking forward to that upcoming episode. I have an AWD Lincoln and apparently it's FWD on a normal basis, and AWD when it needs to be. However, whenever I'm driving it and I need to do something that being AWD outshines FWD in, like hard acceleration from a standstill, or pulling through snow, this car does it seamlessly as if it's been in AWD the whole time! Would love to see what that big transmission looking thing in the back is doing behind those walls.

Damn, that Lexus system seems pretty genius. Glad you explained all the stuff beforehand so I could understand the significance of the system.
I live in a rural section of Ontario Canada. I drive a 16 y.o. open diff Crown Vic - which is surprising because I thought limited was standard on all P-71 spec cars. Covid times have been tough so I'm still running decade old summer rubber down to the wear bars, 5 months a year, 16 Km at the end of an ice road, with one particular part that I call 'Nemisis Hill' - a 90 degree turn at the bottom of a quarter mile 12 percent grade. There are some hairy mornings, and I've come down backwards twice in five years .. but I still trust my go foot, the ghost of ol' Hank, and 45 winters driving junk over whatever computer crap they're trying to shove down my throat.
Man said "I ain't talking about differential in calculus either" then did an entire mini segment on the literal differential equation factor of force used to produce rotational speed in an open diff. 😂 I love it man
Gyro scope joke was the best.
Yes it destabilized me
Most people have issue with the concept of wheels, and think “complex maintenance” involves filling up windshield washer.
The gyroscope joke gave me a good laugh. We have a local gyro restaurant and people are always pronouncing "gyro" (the meat) like "gyro" in "gyroscope" and it makes my eye twitch just a little everytime 😂
I've been into car for awhile and just now learned how a diff works, thanks uncle Jerry
Remember that Subaru commercial on NPR ... "with torque vectoring that sends power from the wheels that slip to the wheels that grip" or something like that. Maybe that's why so many Subaru owners listen to NPR?
Yes! Please do an episode on LSDs, Electric car Torque Vectoring and don’t forget Corvette C7’s “active differential”. Yeah car science!
good episode! I think I'd change the title to "differences in torque vectoring systems" or something like that. No torque vectoring system is dumb; even the simplest form is beneficial in a street application. A braking system is technically still torque vectoring; you are increasing torque sent to the other wheel.
Tool Party was amazing. More of it please!!!
Honda’s SH-AWD system, with its over-driven rear diff, and clutch system, is nothing short of witchcraft when you really hurl it into corners. The humble Acura RL, with its loafy ride, stately interior, and mediocre steering feel comes ALIVE when pushed hard. The outside rear tire SHOVES the car around the corner, it feels organic and alive. It’s some seriously brilliant engineering.
You guys should make a video on variable valve timing systems and how they work. For example: Honda VTEC and i-VTEC, Toyota VVT-i, BMW VANOS, Mitsubishi MIVEC, Koenigsegg Free Valve, etc.
The difference between ft-lb and lb-ft is where the force is applied. If applied from the center out (like an axle), it's lb-ft. If applied to the center (like a wrench), is ft-lb. That's why car manufacturers and tool manufacturers differ in their units.
I'm pretty sure that GM's Positraction a half century ago had the clutch plates all inside the differential carrier. It used a ramping action to increase drive through the wheel with better traction. I had a friend with a new Pontiac Tempest with the base 326. Not a GTO. But because he had PT, his car was much faster off of the line until the GTO would blow past. No spinning of tires, just GO.
I had a Dodge van which I often took out to the Mojave desert in CA. I swapped out the standard diff for the Chrysler limited slip. Well, sir, this was a very different concept and a lot cheaper than clutch packs. Hard to describe, partly because it's been so many years ago. Both rear axles were connected to the carrier and each other via a highly polished cone and receiver for the cone. One for each axle. There were very strong springs pushing the cone into the receiver. On a turn on pavement, the cones and receivers would slip and thus act like an open differential. When one wheel started losing traction in sand, say, it acted like a locked differential. I.e., no differential.
This was great out there in the Mojave. I'm not saying it was like 4WD, but it went a long way there. However.............I moved back to Colorado. On snow and ice, it had no forgiveness. That locked differential. The back end would kick wide with the slightest of throttle. Hard to believe that Chrysler was OK with this design.
