supratoy Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I just bought the hks traction control removal kit. However after reading some info, I have found that you just need to un plug the trac box next to the ecu on the 6sp , is this true? So I dont need that removal kit?

Pete Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 I've not heard of this HKS kit. What is it meant to do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soonto_HAS_soop Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 The HKS kit removes the butterfly from within the inlet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 Ah..right, with you. Not a good idea on an auto I read here. Hard changes, reduced g/box life etc. I believe the trac can just be removed on a manual - but don't take my word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I dont need that removal kit? the butterfly in the throttle body is supposed to sap power,even when not in use,the HKS kit removes the butterfly and blanks off the holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedM Posted March 21, 2006 Share Posted March 21, 2006 As I understand it, the Trac can be removed on a manual. Or you could pull the fuse. I think, based on reading Supraforums too much, that removing the trac butterfly allows a better flow of air through something. Don't do it on an auto though.

MONKEYmark Posted April 13, 2006 Share Posted April 13, 2006 Why not?yeah second that. if you remove the trac fuse out of fuse box that can shorten the gearbox life. but you can get a spare autobox for 200-250.worth giving it a try i think.IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After reading Supra forums I would love to take out that hunk of crap (butterfly) blocking the intake but sounds like I am tinkering on the cliff edge of transmission failure with my 3800 hi stall and 500bhp. Think I'll just take the fuse out for racing and leave it in for street. Shame though car is not such an animal with the fuse in. Perhaps I'll win the lottery and buy a BL TH400 transmission.

Justin Posted April 14, 2006 Share Posted April 14, 2006 I have a low milage one for £250! Ah cool. Pencil me in for it. Not sure how racing is going to go for me this year. I hope I can get under 12 seconds before the trans, turbos, engine, diff, driveshaft let go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
