Racelogic Wire TO ABS wire red TO brown 8 blue TO blue I for lavender in the service manual 11 23 on at least 95 s see note below yellow TO orange 24 green TO light green 6 NOTE There are 2 identical brown wires in this harness one goes to pin 1 the other goes to pin 8 Make certain the brown wire tapped into is the correct one NOTE the blue wire on the 95 connector is in Slightly different location see listing above think this change is due to the new style ABS actuator on 94 models 12 Route the ABS wires back to the ECU area The easiest place to put the wires from the Racelogic unit is in the door sill Simply unscrew the phillips screws green circles in 10 and stuff the wires beneath the black plastic panel Be sure to keep the wires away from sources that may cause interference For example if there s a 12 000 gigawatt stereo system involved do not place the Racelogic wires on top of the speaker wires The electrical impulses traveling through the Speaker wires not line level cabling but speaker level wires may induce false signals in the Racelogic wires The Racelogic wires are shielded so it s unlikely to happen but it s better safe then sorry 13 Mount the controls This is a matter of personal taste but Orion and wanted to Show you where we mounted our stuff Orion mounted the launch control and adjustable dial next to the clock 11 put mine in the ashtray for a stealth2. It should take 2 4 hours to finish the installation Take your time and make sure all your electrical connections have good continuity after each soldering joint by using your multimeter set on resistance with the probes on either side of the solder joint i e one probe at the pin of the harness connector and the other about an inch past the solder joint Wires which are multi colored are denoted as follows main color stripe such that white green means a white wire with a green stripe The pin number of a specific wire is indicated In parentheses after the color wire For example white green 8 means the white wire with a green stripe that is connected to pin number 8 of the harness connector Be sure to cover all exposed wires with electrical tape or heat shrink after soldering crimping Abbreviations used ECU electronic control unit the brains of the car ABS anti lock braking system 1 Use a deep 10 mm socket or wrench to disconnect the negative terminal of the battery the black cable 2 Access the ECU which is located under the passenger floorboard by removing the floor mat pulling back the top part of the carpet unscrewing the four 10 mm bolts that hold the wooden panel and removing the wooden panel For more detailed instructions and pics see the FAQ for instructions on running an a N BUFE a ea 5 h al a uae i silar e 4 it aei maaa e eh Je e ete sar a aiaa ha cores
3. The amount of traction control you ll want will depend on the power output of your engine The default settings are fine for about 400 450 crank hp Once higher than that a few settings will have to be tweaked More traction control can be dialed in by changing the slip percentages to lower numbers For maximum straight line acceleration 8 10 wheel spin is optimal If that still isn t enough to control all of the spin play around with the fuel cut tables to adjust 17 Speed shift option installation Remove the trim panel under the steering wheel 4 x 10 mm bolts red dots in 15 It s got two tabs on it to hook it into the dash after the bolts are removed Remove the side vent trim by pulling outwards 16 18 Remove the screw holding the lower vent tube to the dash on the backside of the lower vent tube 1 x phillips red dot in 17 It s hard to get to unless you lay down on the floor of the car and look up under the dash The two upper clutch switches are what we re trying to get to yellow dots in 17 19 Remove the screw holding the lower vent tube to the steering column 1 x phillips 18 Look at how the outer vent tube connects to the lower vent tube 19 pull twist whatever to extract the outer vent tube and the lower vent tube from their current position 20 Be careful there s a sensor on top of the lower vent tube with wires coming off it 20 Run the purple wire from the traction control wiring h
4. Rally Car on the start line Once max boost is generated around 5 7psi in Stg 3 car 5500rpm limiter you let go of the clutch The system modulates engine power to control wheel spin gradually feeding in engine power until full power is unleashed and then it s time for 2nd gear The launch is absolutely incredible but a side effect is you have to have a good clutch otherwise this will ruin the clutch quickly Speed shift allows you to leave the gas pedal on the floor while making shifts When the clutch is pushed in a new rev limit is imposed on the engine so the engine won t over rev when the drivetrain is disengaged from it Coupled with the launch control it can make a standard perform like an automatic for acceleration won t go into the technical details of how it works go to http www racelogic co uk other than answering four of the most common questions comments 1 If it cuts fuel doesn t that mean it will detonate An emphatic NO what it does is cut enough fuel to create a complete misfire on one injector pulse cycling around all the cylinders Enough fuel is cut out so a complete combustion won t occur but not too much fuel so that the cylinder won t dry out 2 I ve been in production cars with Traction Control they were more of a detriment how come this one is so different The Racelogic system is race derived and adjusted to each application It has an extremely quick sample rate and is fully adj

14. per revolution on the ABS sensors T and U wheel diameters calculate these off of your tire size The driven wheels are the rear wheels and the reference wheels are the front wheels To calculate use the following formula width x profile 50 wheel diameter x 25 4 This will give your tire size in millimeters Such that for the stock 245 45 16 rear tires you will get the following 245 x 45 50 16 x 25 4 627 mm so enter 00627 for driven wheel diameter and for the stock 225 50 16 front tires you will get 225 x 50 50 16 x 25 4 631 mm so enter 00631 for reference wheel diameter NOTE Do NOT measure the tire wheel diameter with a ruler This is VERY inaccurate and will throw off the traction control unit If there are problems do the calculation please e mail me with the tire sizes and I ll do them for you Calibration steps can be skipped if the wiring was done correctly above Calibration just tells the unit which sensors are on which wheels Simply input the following 1 OFF 2 ON 3 OFF 4 ON This tells the unit that 1 and 3 are the rear wheels and 2 and 4 are the front wheels because OFF driven and ON reference A OFF B ON C ON D OFF This tells the unit that A and D are the right wheels and B and C are the left wheels Hit esc to go back to the main menu Under C configuration menu make sure that C the number of cylinders is 00006
15. ustable in how much fuel it cuts out which revolutions the fuel is cut which cylinders etc etc all settings are accessible via a PC connection The system only cuts just enough power to limit or eliminate wheel spin but not so much to degrade performance Many production systems are too slow at reacting and cause the engine to drop power dramatically when they kick in 3 But I m a good driver don t need it No human can modulate engine power without using the throttle so even if you were Michael Schumacher you still wouldn t be able to control power delivery without closing the throttle and doing it 10 times sec There is a reason why lots of racers choose to install race spec traction control systems as it offers the ability to bury the throttle and get the maximum amount of power delivery without having to modulate the throttle as the rear end starts to get unstuck 4 So what s it like Full throttle 2nd gear in a stage 3 car on Super grippy 17 tires partway through a corner in the wet and not having the rear end go into oversteer sets the Stage for how well this system works simply could not believe the night and day difference in character of my TTZ in both wet and dry conditions In the wet it changes the car from being on the thin line to completely in control in the dry it allows me to get on the throttle earlier and hold the throttle down in a corner You get to a point where you jump on the throttle
