leonardjon Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 Can anyone recommend me someone who could supply and/or fit this, I have done a bit of reading around and it seems that the best option for my car would be the standard unit for ABS with Launch Control (RLTC6AL) ?? Also, in regard to fitting, is it something that could be a DIY job (I'm pretty competant with soldering and electronics and have fitted all the audio in my supe) What else is involved? And, is it worth buying new or is 2nd hand ok? Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) From what I remember it's between half a day and a days work for someone who knows what they are doing. That's fitting it and getting it set up properly. Secondhand units do come up for sale and usually around the £500 mark and normally when people change to the Solaris ECU. I'm sure if you spoke with Racelogic on the phone they could recommend someone in your area who fits them. Here's a link to the unit and prices http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=Traction_Control-Products_and_Pricing-Retail_Prices Dealer list is here http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=Traction_Control-Dealers-Dealer_List#uk Installation guide is here in PDF format http://www.racelogic.co.uk/?show=Traction_Control-Technical-Instructions HTH Edited December 6, 2009 by Frank Bullitt (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveR Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 I'v still got the set I removed from mine when I had my Solaris fitted. It's got the launch control feature too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 It is a a self install job if you are comfortable with basic wiring on a car. Instructions are fairly clear. There is expertise on here if you get stuck. Passenger seat out makes, the installation much easier as unless you use a Field harness, all the soldering is done at the bottom of the passenger foo twell. Connecting to the ABS sensor wires behind the dash can be a RPITA, but doable. Ensure that the rpm source you use is not shared with other after market equipment, as RLTC really does not like a shared source, and will cause a host of issues. When you are done drop me a PM and I'll sort out a dat file for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leonardjon Posted December 6, 2009 Author Share Posted December 6, 2009 Thanks for the advice Didn't think to look for fitting instructions online doh! That's useful, thanks Seems straightforward but pretty involved...if that makes sense!? Are there any differences or things worth noting between Jspec and UK spec installation procedures? ...Steve - I saw your FS thread when I was scouting around earlier, yh PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guides are on this forum as to which ones they are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terminator Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) Pin outs are slightly different, diagrams are self explanatory. when connect up ABS signals it is not necessary to identify which wire goes to which sensor as RLTC calibrates the signals. If you get a second hand system, the plugs will be pre wired so will save time. As for reliability of S/H units, it is very good. Very few units fail and RL offer a good tech back up service, they have done stuff for me FOC, that what I call excellent service.

Good to know, thanks I'm guessing I can find information for pin outs for the ABS and injectors and things in the Tech Info section? Quick question in regard to the dat files - are they specific to each car or are they pre-defined 'templates' ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 6, 2009 Share Posted December 6, 2009 (edited) One thing I do remember when I spoke to Racelogic they warned me that there was a possibility of compatibility issues when using the traction control with certain injectors. It was either high or low impedance which could cause lean AFR's. I did start a thread on here and asked if anyone had experienced any issues but didn't get many answers.
