Researching traction control

[2001ultima]

I've been researching traction control systems. Looks like Racelogic has a nice system that will work well with a LS fuel injected engine interrupting the individual fuel injectors when wheel speed differences are detected. The photo that displays on the site is of an Ultima installation.

I also found a company that specifically made brake disk trigger wheels for the Ultima AP Racing disks:

And I found wheel sensor brackets can be provided by Autobionics. I believe Autobionics can also provide the front trigger wheels. The brackets also support fittings to install sensors for the Bosch Motorsport ABS system from what I understand.

Question, in the race logic photos posted, I noticed both rear axles have a trigger wheel/disk. Only one of my axles have a trigger wheel, did both axles assemblies provided by Ultima Sports include trigger wheels? I know one of the axles on my car was replaced before I owned the car and it may be possible that when the axle was replaced the trigger wheel was not replaced.

Anyway, I thought I would share some of my research.

We've had some cold weather here in GA and traction is not too good. This system could resolve the traction issue.

The system also has launch control and shift control.

Only one trigger wheel is supplied by Ultima to drive the speedo. Just buy a second one from the Factory.

It will not resolve lack of traction...all it will do is reduce power from the engine which you could do yourself by lifting the throttle. Alternatively don't press so hard in the first place.

Rear use two trigger wheels as Steve suggested and front use the brake bell bolt heads.

Steve, Thanks for the suggestion. I'll make an effort to stay off the throttle.

bluesatin, Thanks, I'll order a trigger wheel soon. As for the front I need to work out another solution, I have a brake disk cooling duct installed that blocks the disk bolts. So I need to come up with another solution or remove the duct. I need to think about what is best to do. Thanks, Jim

Use the duct as the sensor mount.

Disc bolts are inside the bell and sensor mounts on upright. If brake duct interferes with this then surely it would interfere when steering the car??????. Post a picture maybe

I bought both products you mentioned (Racelogic TC and the slotted discs for the front sensors) - they`re not in action yet but will see heavy track use together with the Bosch Motorsport ABS system hopefully this spring.
As for the mounts you could talk to Steve at Autobionics, they have a very nice solution for the front and rear sensor mounts in anodized alloy that is custom made for your gearbox.
