Matt Dunn Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 Hi all,Looking for a way to disable traction control in my race car in 1st gear.The car has a very high first gear and does not come on boost untill about 4400 rpm, which means that it comes on boost at about 50kmh.This requires a reasonable amount of wheelspin to get it off the line, and I had it sussed pretty well as the car is RWD.I recently added the software update to run full traction control, and it seems to work pretty well,but I need to manually turn it off for the start of each race and then back on again one off the start line.In the settings the maximum speed lockout is 25kmh, which is too slow,and I have a slip threshold table with gear on one axis, but the maximum slip allowed is 50% which is not enough.Is there any other way that I can disable it in 1st gear?

Simon Posted January 11, 2017 Report Share Posted January 11, 2017 One option would be to use a traction disable switch.You could get tricky and use a Aux output looped to the Di and then have the AUX settings set up to only disable in first gear.

Matt Dunn Posted January 14, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 14, 2017 Could be an option.I already have a switch on the steering wheel as traction disable,so I suppose I could hook an auxillary output to it as well,and switch it off gear position or speed.

CamB Posted January 15, 2017 Report Share Posted January 15, 2017 Possibly worth adding your support to this thread as that would also be an option if implementing in the future: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Dunn Posted January 16, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Was just playing with the program earlier thinking thatas using an output from the ECU to switch and Input to the ECU seems like a waste of two inputs/ouputs,where it should be able to be done internally.

Simon Posted January 16, 2017 Report Share Posted January 16, 2017 Yep it is a bit but if they are available its a workaround till the firmware options catch up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
