Well done.

It will pay for itself in tyre preservation s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Haha.. yeah, the way I figure it, it only has to avoid one crash, even a small one and its paid for itself s:)

s:) plus I hope to enjoy the car so much more with it tamed down a bit,.. thinking more on the problem I know why she is such a handful, its because the BHP rises linear until the rev limit, normally when you get wheelspin you have pretty much hit peak power and so as it spins you get LESS power available, kinda like a built in traction control, on mine as it slips the revs raise and you have MORE power, so a little slip suddenly turns into some kind of spinfest up to the limiter so you HAVE to back off, and we all know what happens when you back off in a 2 when the rear steps out....... FUN TIME... s:lol: :lol: s:lol: s:lol: :lol: s:lol:

Let me know how the difference feels my link which i havent driven yet has the TC so would good to know the difference.

How does the traction control work, does it cut spark or fuel to the engine when the ABS sensors signals differ enough to show slip on 1 wheel when the steering wheel is straight?

If so, its still going to reduce the power to the engine, so its pretty much the same as lifting off the throttle.

Unless you get a system that operates the brakes on the slipping wheel, this is how its going to be.

This TC cuts fuel when it detects driven wheels overspeeding. It cuts one injector pulse at a time so it can back off the smallest amount possible or complete cut and anything in between. It does it incredibly fast so while it reduces power it does it in a way you could never do with the throttle. Nothing to do with steering angle, it will take that into account by comparing left and rights side to calculate the cars cornering. You can set slip % to be different cornering to straight line, wet v's dry settings etc. in reality having tested it this morning its ridiculous.. can just go full throttle mid corner or on exit of a corner and the car just rockets off faster than I could balance the throttle with a years practice 24/7.

Sounds impressive, much better than most aftermarket systems I have seen in the past.

yeah, its way ahead of most others, which is ironic seeing as its about 20years old by design.. it was used in the very early gumperts and koenigseggs etc when the ecu's could not do T/C

I run TC on my link G4. excellent system indeed, the stock ecu controls the dash still and I believe the electronic power steering too. Link does the rest. you can variable settings according to boost levels, gear by gear, even switchable maps ie high and low boost you can alter it to suit. very impressive system indeed. the latest links are even better still and were made to be compatible with the GTR the software is impeccable I mean lest we forget, these guys make the ECU for the harrier jump jet.
