Traction Control

Simon, maybe you'd be better off with a permanent valet mode, say with a lazy 300kW?

very very good idea to run T/C....mine is factory FPV from 2006 from the donor car and whilst I know its come a long way since then you don't realize how good it is until you turn it off. Blown cars generate sooo much torque (mine is 770nm @4800rpm@8psi) that when I turn it off (a simple button on the dash disables ABS and T/C) it can burst into wheelspin at will...I have logged 6000kms now and cant remember the last time I tempted fate and turned it off....its just a much better car with it on....in my humble opinion of course!

All fair points gents. Thanks.

Race logic do have this to say on their site:

Customer:- I am concerned that the system cuts fuel, and I have a highly modified turbo engine, which if it runs lean will cause instant damage. How safe is the Racelogic system on these types of engine ?

Answer:- The Racelogic system works on individual injectors, and is designed only to cut out one whole injection pulse. The amount of fuel is not just decreased, it is completely removed for one stroke. This means the engine either receives a 100% complete amount of fuel or none at all. If it receives none at all, the spark has no effect, the mixture will not ignite, and therefore the temperature does not go up. We have succesfully fitted the system to Formula One engines, 750 BHP Turbo Engines (in our own Supra), motorbike engines and kart engines.

Sorry lads, I stand corrected.

The ECM retards the ignition and drops injectors.

Traction Control System
When drive wheel slip is noted while the brake is not applied, the electronic brake control module will enter traction control mode.

First, the electronic brake control module requests the engine control module to reduce the amount of torque to the drive wheels via the serial data. The engine control module reduces torque to the drive wheels by retarding spark timing and turning off fuel injectors. The engine control module reports the amount of torque delivered to the drive wheels via the serial data circuit.

So it would seem that you would need an ECM. a BCM, and an EBCM.
Sounds too complex. Would be easier to add the system described by Sime above.
