Pig Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 And suprise suprise it doesnt work! The ABS isnt working and the RLTC (when turned fully off) is limiting the car at opprox over 5000 rpm. It feels light a light cut (AFR etc are all in) Next step, get the car to matt harrwood as i think its all RLTC related. I have been informed by TDI that the RLTC ecu is faulty. When i picked up the car it was working for the first 15 mins or so. Now everytime i drive it it limits. Any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muffleman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Holy crap mate Was it doing this before TDi worked on it ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Branners Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 without knowing the final bill I would suggest that TDI have charged you enough money for you to take it back there and tell them they have not sorted it and that you expect them to rectify the problems they said they had fixed and do it for free. RLTC ECUs fail very rairly and I would not have thought it would fail in the way it has. Perhaps get Matt to give the RLTC a once over before it goes back to TDI so they cant point the finger at that. JB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 No it wasnt. the RLTC wasnt wired in though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont think anyone knows how to fit RLTC to the supra better than matt harwood, its just a pita to get it to him though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Don't quote me on this but I think there is/was a fault with the firmware on some RL ECUs. I had what I think is the same problem in that mine would only let me rev to about 4500k approx before cutting. The easy solution (and, as it's a firmware issue, possibly the only solution) is to set the launch control revs to about 10k! Mine worked a treat after that.

Pete Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 There was something odd...but I'm not sure anyone could get RL to actually commit to an official comment. Maybe it's just not been setup properly. Panic ye not my friend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kslb Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 I had a similar problem with the RLTC and it was due to the wrong wheel sizes being input. If you go into monitor mode on the digi adjuster and select wheel speed and make sure you view it in text format and make sure if you are travelling in a straight line the front and rear wheel speeds are identical if not you need to adjust your wheel sizes until they are. This sorted the problem for me and i did it with the gps speed and to get it right it wasn't the actual diameters. I have mine set 590mm front and 595mm rear.

Muffleman Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Might be worth dropping Terminator a pm aswell as Matt ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Yeah, i know they are both good. Could this be related to the ABS? Or is that likely to be down to it being plummed in wrong. Will give the speed sensors a check next weekend. Sat down watching a movie and drinking beer now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheefa Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Jon, I had a fair few issues with RLTC too mate, check some of the threads in search. This was linked to the Rev Limits as Martin mentioned (this only affects the digi-adjuster model I think) and a low cut glitch below say 1500rpm. I would drop a note to Mike Broadbent @ RL if it is an ECU problem, he's very helpful, but check with Matt first. CW had a bit of a PITA installing mine. Good luck and sorry to hear about this pal.

SimonB Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 Sounds like a dodgy ABS wheel speed sensor to me, or the connection between the ABS wires and the RLTC ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mikeyb10supra Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 without sounding patronising, can you not just disconnect your RLTC to eliminate that fro the loop....if your cut-out goes after its off, presto Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 23, 2007 Author Share Posted September 23, 2007 Sounds like a dodgy ABS wheel speed sensor to me, or the connection between the ABS wires and the RLTC ones. Will that be picked up by the display on the digital adjuster? http://www.mkivsupra.net/vbb/showpost.php?p=864695&postcount=41 Will try that tomorrow. Quick and simple without sounding patronising, can you not just disconnect your RLTC to eliminate that fro the loop....if your cut-out goes after its off, presto Nope, its hard wired in.

Andyhannah Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Give Mike Broadbent a call at racelogic his number is 012808238803 Extension 201. He might be able to help you fault find mate. Good luck Andy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Thanks andy, tried him today but was engaged. Went out tonight. The car only faults after about ten mins driving. Given up with my fault finding. Am going to take the day off work and take it for matt to solve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Did you at least try setting the LC to about 8k? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supragold Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Did you at least try setting the LC to about 8k? Does that kinda defeat the point of LC or is that ok? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted September 24, 2007 Author Share Posted September 24, 2007 Did you at least try setting the LC to about 8k? Certainly did, was already set to 9k. thanks though - first thing i checked Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted September 24, 2007 Share Posted September 24, 2007 Does that kinda defeat the point of LC or is that ok? I don't know if it effects RL units with the optional LC button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
