Another traction control system option

[Joel K]

I saw this on the factory five forums and one of the members vouched that it worked well for an LS engine. Looks like it works for port injection engines and not direct injection.

Joel,

Interesting option. Thank you for sharing. I need to research this further.

 

[DaveC]

Yeah I started that thread. I'm probably in for 2 units. Anyone want to arrange a group buy?

 

[DaveC]

I should mention, I messaged the seller a while ago about a discount on 2 units for myself, was only about a 5% discount.

Joel, I've been followong your build with great interest. I've been looking for a TCS like the RaceLogic for a while. Shows how reliant on search engines I've become!
Dave, depending on your time frame I'd be in for a group buy. I only need one...

 

[Tom]

regarding this system, does it rely on reluctors at all 4 wheels, or will two reluctors on rear axle suffice?

It would have to compare the rear rotation speed relative to the vehicle speed, which would be determined by the front hub rotation speed.
Otherwise, you'd have to determine vehicle speed by GPS like this unit: https://racetronics.com/GPS-Brake-Control.html

Gregg, how is your build coming along?

Gregg, how is your build coming along?

Slowly but I'm gaining momentum now that I found my engine. I moved this year from California to Georgia - just in time, from the looks of things back in CA! So with getting the house and garage set up and work I have not had a great deal of time to put into the build. Your build details have been an inspiration and your pictured have helped my nearly finalize (as things always change when the rubber hits the road) my broad systems design.

I am using the racetronics NLR system, it is a pump installed in series with your rear brake lines before the bifurcations, it senses wheel spin and pulses the rear brakes to eliminate wheel spin, can be adjusted form 0 to 99% . I installed it on my car already but have not tested since my car is not running yet. I will provide feedback. you have to modify the rear brake lines a bit to connect to the pump and find a place for it, and need 2 sensors.

Gregg:

Good luck with your build , be patient when you encounter challenges and try to do a little bit every day, even if it is installing a couple of bolts , keep the momentum going , as the saying goes you can only eat an elephant one bite at a time.

Did you proceed with the rcs tcs? I have an ls7 superlite.

I have not yet purchased one... Funny I was just thinking about this the past couple of days! Almost done with my Lotus turbo esprit project, then back to the GTM.
