Traction Control

[sambo]

G'day Simon. Just a thought - will the blown LSA enjoy having fuel/spark cut all the time when on boost?

I'd be considering an LS3 or something a little less wild if I thought the LSA was too overpowered for a Cobra. That's just my personal opinion of course.

G'day Paul,

Fair call.....I'm not suggesting that I'm going to drive the car flat out all the time where I'll need the TC constantly - and I will have sticky Avon CR6ZZ tyres. Besides, I'm locked into going with the LSA anyways! I don't believe it will be an issue with the TC cutting boost/spark however. After all, the GTS has traction control and there are guys who have those things making over 800hp, and I have a turbo 350Z that has the Racelogic system fitted and it works great.

I'd just like to have the system as insurance.

Just need two more for the GB now!

Cheers,
Sime

It doesn't cut fuel or spark while traction loss is present. Electronic throttle control from the factory.

Hope you guys can get your systems to talk to each other.

Gary,

Are you talking about the GTS?

If so, then the electronic throttle control is different to the Racelogic system as you suggest. Pulled this excerpt from the Racelogic manual:

".......When the system detects wheelspin above programmed thresholds a fuel cut is initiated to reduce the power of the engine, therefore reducing wheelspin. Connecting the system involves interfacing with the vehicles existing ABS sensors to provide the wheelspeed inputs and breaking each of the signal wires supplying the fuel injectors. This allows the Traction Control to cut fuel when wheelspin has been detected.

Do you think there'd be an issue with the Racelogic TCS initiating a fuel cut? I'll check that out with ChipTorque.
