Clarkey Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Can someone tell me how RLTC should respond when you set it to "WET" mode ? When I drive mine in the dry .. and then change to WET (just for curiousity) - RLTC cuts fuel as I accelerate. I can feel it and also see it on my WB02. The needle will bounce from a 14.2-14.9 .. to a 15 or 16. I can still accelerate freely with it set to WET - it doesn't stop me completely. When in DRY mode - I don't get that at all. DRY mode does fuel cut - but only around roundabouts, bends and sometimes straights Is this correct behaviour ? The reason I ask is Matt H did my install and we had a problem with the setup of RLTC - it would fuel cut very violently and erratically - even with a Terminator DAT file. Now, since updating the DAT file a few times and driving around in circles the behaviour has changed to what I've described. Ta Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merckx Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Sounds very normal to me, mine is just the same. It's only really noticeable on the wet setting and on the dry setting you are hardly know it's working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I obviously don't drive the car hard enough but I can never tell whether the RLTC is dong anything or not. I certainly never wheelspin on any of the various settings. What's the easiest way to confirming that RLTC is actually working? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lambertpig Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 still dont really know if mine is working either. my light doesnt flash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Clarkey Posted February 19, 2006 Author Share Posted February 19, 2006 What's the easiest way to confirming that RLTC is actually working? Going around a roundabout with little bit of speed ? Pulling out a junction with a heavy foot ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What I think I'll do is get someone who's already got a working RLTC to test the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Floor the throttle coming round a roundabout this morning with the road cover in water. I guess RLTC is doing it's thing because I simply caned it. No slipping. No drama. Nice one. I have in the past though hacked up a rain-sodden sliproad with the RLTC set to Wet and been all over the place. That was on the 2nd turbo though so maybe that's why. This morning I was only using the 1st turbo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SteA Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Racelogic will respond pretty much how you want it too... this might not be useful, but a couple of things I found: I dont know about supras, but "standard" settings for 200sx's are nothing but a basic starting point, it really needs optimising and playing around with to get the best from it. From your description, it may be that it could be tinkered with Its stupidly easy to do, hook it up to a laptop and do some wheel speed traces in a straight line at a few different speeds (inc 70 +), you obviously want all the wheels to be reading the same speed. If not, I tend to adjust wheel sizes until the front/back traces overlap perfectly.... you can do this in several other ways, but this is just what I find easiest... then you can test it under different conditions... if it cuts too early then increase wet/dry threshold until it only cuts at the desired level, if it cuts too late then do the opposite. Lots of other things to play with but those are a start The system should be pretty unobtrusive, but its hard to tell from your description if the cuts were to do with slippy conditions or exactly as the system should work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
markssupra Posted February 22, 2006 Share Posted February 22, 2006 still dont really know if mine is working either. my light doesnt flash Maybe your led's just not working. You would know if the RLTC wasnt working. I dont get any spin on wet setting, only unobtrusive fuel cut. It will spin slightly on a slightly damp road on dry setting. I need to find an empty road to check the other settings out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UltraFlynn Posted February 25, 2006 Share Posted February 25, 2006 OK. I had a little test on Friday morning. Came round a roundabout and had to floor it to avoid a truck from running into the side of me. It was then that I hit a patch of frozen rain water and I could really feel the traction control working then. The engine just sort of reins the power in and you don't get any drama from the rear end. (I had RLTC set to Wet). I'm happy now that my RLTC is working fine.

Clarkey Posted February 25, 2006 Author Share Posted February 25, 2006 My system just needed calibrating with that dummy dongle thingy that goes into the diagnostic port. Bob's yer uncle ... Fanny's yer aunt ... and it WORKS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
