I recently was tuning my Evo X (click link to see it in action) and found it was a bit slow.


So, I went, and looked at the normal settings; suspension, transmission, and drivetrain. Upon checking the drivetrain, I found that the AYC Controller had not been set correctly.


Before I re-tuned the AYC, my lap times at Cape Ring South (276 hp, 1247 kg.) were 1:23.869.


But, after I tuned the AYC, my lap time was 1:22.2! This is an astonishing difference in time, more than I could get out of suspension tuning.


Dishearteningly, the AYC is generally over-looked in most tunes on GT5. You (the player) are losing a lot of time!


My recommendation: Everyone should use AYC more often.


Here's how you use it:


If your car is oversteering, reduce the sensitivity, by reducing the number on the AYC. If your car is understeering, raise the sensitivity. It's that easy.


👍 I hope this helps, for anyone who's struggling to tune a Mitsubishi.
 
...Forgive me but I think this is common knowledge, and has been around for some time. Good that it's working for you though.

Yes, but I don't hear enough about it; I don't think it's used often enough. If the Tuning Forums are dedicated to making cars faster, more agile, or better at drifting/drag racing... Whatever, should it not include PSAs about how to improve Mitsubishis? I don't think the AYC is used often enough. 👍 👍


However, in saying that, I believe that you raise a valid point.


If this is to be deemed useless information that's already been covered (though I did a search, and found almost no mention of it, anywhere on GTP,) I will understand completely.
 
Well all the tunes I've seen, bar the MadFinns (who like to play with proper mechanical diffs), for Evos use AYC, so it's certainly not underused in the tuning process.
 
I use it on my '07 GSR P.P. tune. I don't think many people really use Mitsis as much as other cars. The Lancer TC doesn't have AYC unfortunately :( then it'd be really unfair!
 
To this date, I'm still a Lancer tuning virgin so ill keep this in mind. Cheers :)
 
You could call this a nice bump however. I have yet to even drive one, although I have several. So it is a good heads up for me as well.
 
:cheers: guys,

No problem for the announcement. I find it quite surprising.

Anyways, good luck, guys, and have fun with whatever you're tuning Mitsubishis for.
 
I found that the AYC was easier to tune, but not faster than the final results you can get with LSD and Torque Split. The AYC is simply move one way for understeer, the other for oversteer. When I tested, it seemed great at fast speed, but pushing the limit and odd red tires behavior started to show up.

I tuned a few rally cars and their street versions and posted both LSD and AYC. You could try them back to back very easily.
