KiwiTerrano Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I had a thought the other day, that since our R50s are equipped with 3-channel ABS, could we install switches to activate the ABS on the individual front wheels to act as traction control? Would be very convenient to simply flick a switch and drive out if you got cross-axled, by braking the front wheel in the air. Having owned a vehicle with traction control, it's the only thing I miss when driving my R50 offroad. The efficacy of the switch system could be further increased by fitting a Torsen LSD to the front R200 diff, as these are at their most effective when paired with a traction control system, which provides enough force to make the LSD work when a wheel is lifted. The only problem I can see with this system is if the ABS requires brake pedal pressure to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bunchie Posted April 20, 2018 Share Posted April 20, 2018 I think the pedal MAY need to be activated, which, would be counterproductive, yes? TBS, is it a "heavy" or sudden brake pressure that activates the ABS? SOMETHING triggers it. If its a heavy application, then a pressure switch is the most likely item. I WILL give you credit, it IS a clever idea...in theory. V. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
