Lacoste82 Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Hey i was thinking, is it possible to fit an aftermarket traction control system in a Mkiv n/a...? I know its possible in a TT model as it has Traction control to begin with, so really my question must be, will an aftermarket system, like Racelogic, be as easy to fit on a TT/turbo model that already has TC as on a n/a model that doesnt? And do any of u have this system installed? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Provided your NA has ABS already it's the same to fit as it is to a TT. You really shouldn't need RLTC in an NA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Will i take it the n/a has ABS, dont all the mkiv`s have ABS!? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 sadly not. Its missing on quite a few NAs, they just never fitted it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It doesn't mean you can't fit it if you don't have ABS, it just means you need to purchase the Wheel speed senders as well. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 Will i take it the n/a has ABS, dont all the mkiv`s have ABS!? Not all. It's just more of as PITA to fit if it doesn't have it as standard due to the extra wiring needed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lacoste82 Posted December 14, 2008 Author Share Posted December 14, 2008 Arh ok! Mine is one of the first 93 models, as i said an N/A, and i can c now that it was optional to buy ABS on this model, ill have to tjeck wheater is has ABS. Havent really gotten around to driving it much, as i only got it on plates before the winter kicked in! But that means, that even if it shouldnt have ABS, it will still be possible to install the racelogic system? And btw, for a guy that isnt very technically car knowing: What is the easiest way to tjeck if the car is fitted with and ABS system, when it isnt possible to drive it, due to winter time and the fact that its in bits as its my winterproject :0) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 If you look in the rear right hand side of the engine bay there should be a number of thin hard pipes (BRAKE PIPES) going into a big cylinder if you have any ABS fitted. I'll see if I can dig out a diagram. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pixelfill Posted December 14, 2008 Share Posted December 14, 2008 It's not really clear, and I'm not 100% certain that it's a foolproof way to determine whether you have ABS or not but here's a diagram showing the location of the various components of ABS. This is a picture of a LHD Supra, so remember to mirror everything when looking at yours. Mike Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
