Well I certainly have that. What exactly does it use for gear detection and how well does it work? Do you currently have it set up?

It uses VSS and it works perfectly. I run like 8psi in second, and barely lose traction up top. Then full boost in 3rd and up because peasant torque.
I just realized I might need to adjust my pulse per mile because different rear end ratio. Hmmm.

I'm still trying to figure out if I need a rear ABS upright or if I can just use the VSS for traction control. Go make this work so I can copy you.

The RaceLogic wants sensors on all four wheels. It works nicely. :)

Unfortunately I don't make RaceLogic money :P

as soon as you update to firmware that properly controls CL boost, boost by gear should work fine

Yeah, that's what I'm afraid of. I think one of my biggest failures thus far was not getting the car running on 1.4.0 before bringing it to you. Now I'm scared to death to try to update the firmware.

aidandj 11-16-2015 01:27 PM

Its easy

Nobody does any more -- they've discontinued it. No idea why.

Maybe for you. The last time I tried to go from 1.3.x to 1.4.0 it completely fux0rd my tune and the car wouldn't start. I spent DAYS trying to fix it and eventually gave up and went back to 1.3.x

aidandj 11-16-2015 01:39 PM

Upgrade to 1.4 Copy list of errors.

Edit the MSQ manually for each error.

Profit

codrus 11-16-2015 01:41 PM

FWIW, my upgrade from 1.3.4 to 1.4.0 went smoothly with no issues. Needed to retune the initial value (now bias) table, but that was it.

Fine, I'll do it on Saturday and you all can watch me suffer and whine for help all weekend.

18psi 11-16-2015 02:38 PM

I'll make sure to disconnect my phone :laugh:

jkjk

aidandj 11-16-2015 02:39 PM

I'll be out of town :giggle:

You need an upright?
I took the entire rear subframe, and I don't need ABS.

Aidan; I haven't forgotten you little buddy. You'll get all your parts soon.

EO2K 11-16-2015 04:04 PM

Possibruu... Aidan says I don't need it though. Wouldn't I need the pair? And the axles?

Curse Ed and his actually swapping over the ABS :giggle:

aidandj 11-16-2015 04:20 PM

Its worth trying with just VSS.

You only need one for VSS 2 for ABS

Monk 11-16-2015 04:24 PM

You only need the upright for the sensor mounts.
The only difference in the axles is the ring, which just presses on. I don't think the axles are different otherwise.
Lemme take some pics.

For Traction Control, got it.

Wait, that doesn't make sense. ABS only needs one rear sensor? On one wheel? Or I'm retarded.
