AWD Torque Bias

[quote=“DarkkstaR,post:6,topic:25094"”]

by the way, do your research…you have Torsen differentials…those are a 2:1 torque delivering ratio. So if you’re making 300 lbs/ft, 200 will go to the rear, 100 to the front. Don’t forget Torsen is the only system that can do side to side differences, too. :wink:

That is not what torque bias in a TORSEN diff represents. 2:1 torque bias represents relative torque available when a wheel begins to lose traction. So lets say the front wheels were only able to sustain 100 ft lbs of torque. Then the rear wheels would have approx 200lb/ft of torque avaibable to them. And it works in both directions.

Initial torque bias is all wheels having equal traction, one set of wheels will receive XX torque and the other set with receive YY torque.

And side to side torque transfer is determined by the front and rear differentials.Where as the front and rear transfer is determined by the center differential. Also, there are many types of differentials that can be used for side to side ransfer, Clutch type, Torsen, Torsen II(helical) Viscous. I’m sure there are others.
