Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 We been waiting for a Ecutek RaceRom update to allow us to push on our Traction control development , being a master tuner we have a Beta RR package that allows us to do this. With some carefully built RR maps and the EVI Ecutek Bluetooth module we have got a pretty good adjustable traction control set up still needs some more work but already it is pretty good Your see wheel slip at the bottom being controlled. Throttle pedal is fully down commanding 80% throttle butterfly opening but our RaceRom custom maps is keeping the Throttle butterfly only @ 54% reducing the power together with reducing timing normally @ 5000rpm and 1.9 engine load we would see around 23/24 deg timing our RaceRom maps are dropping the timing to around 14 degs to reduce the power to keep the wheel speed (slip) under control. The traction is controllable via the Ecutek Bluetooth EVI with a slider to adjust the amount of traction control We should soon have this sorted so when the new RaceRom update is released it will be available to our Ecutek tuned customers. We hope to have 2 levels calibrated to enable use without having a Ecutek EVI module but it wont be adjustable by the driver 5 DanJ, surrey86, dom2497 and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DanJ 374 Report post Posted February 11, 2018 Interesting stuff, I presume you're controlling to a wheel slip target and its that which will be variable with the Ecutek EVI module? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The EVI slider adjusts a multiplier within the traction control RaceRom maps. We actually have 2 adjustments at the moment while we fine tune the set up @DanJ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

surrey86 352 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 How would it be used without an EVI module, always on or some sort of clever Ecutek switch like the heated rear window button? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted February 12, 2018 No we would just have 2 different slip angle maps on 2 different separate maps switched via the normal EcuTek map switching procedure 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tareim 343 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 does this overwrite the standard traction control system? or does it force the factory system to off and then you change the map to the traction control level you want? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only set to activate when you turn the OEM TCS off. So you can have the OEM TSC setup and then when you turn that off you can use this or not depending on the mode you're in or EVI setup.

Will T8WMM 28 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 Will this be available as an EcuTek EVI Module update that we can do at home? Or via the app? Or is it something we’d need to come in to have updated? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mark@Abbey M/S 235 Report post Posted February 13, 2018 Its our own development not ECUTEK. So will only be available from Abbey and will only be if we have already tuned your car previously or when you upgrade to our tuning. Just speaking to my solicitor as well to check about the liability consequences with this upgrade I Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
