Hi there.

It was myself that created the Plug and Play system for the 350Z in conjuction with Racelogic R&D.

It does indeed Plug and Play with most applications.


Please take a look at these press release sheets I've attached to this post for more info. The phone number has since changed so please ignore the one on there. Call on +44 1327 857577 if you'd like to know anything

Thanks

Dan

hi,

was playing around with the launch control rev limiter thing on ma racelogic... it has two settings which can be set manually, took me about two minutes to read up on how to do it in the manual...

there is a wet setting and a dry setting, these are used depending on the amount of slip dialed in... to activate the launch control rev lim thing u simply push the button down for a second or two... WOT sticks it to your desired setting and boost builds up nicely... it does sound mad though... a bit of a show ...

found that just dropping the clutch aint such a good idea, doing a gradual release gave me the most thrust...

still happy, the guys also have software available for download should u wish to adjust the amount of cut so it can be custom programmed for further enhancement... my factory settings r ok and even with my 325 semi's on the back I still feel it working a bit in third gear... the difference now is that before the unit, my 3rd gear was faster than first and second... it feels much better...

there is of coarse some driving skill involved, like when to change gears and clutch release but much easier and safer than before...

cheers

ya doesnt sound much different than what a good tuner could do with the haltech.

be interesting to see back to back lap times with and without the unit.

On the street, it would help the guys (like me) who arent willing to run a DR/race tire all the time.

On the track, slicks > TC anyday

With that being said, Id like something like this more for the repeatability on street tires. IMO 550ish whp + TC + STREET tires could be 10's easy, and that would be bad a$$ IMO.

^^^^^ Very true.... Sharif is in contact with the company.... If it can work with my setup, I will have it in my ZDayZ so you guys can see if it's a good buy or not.

i guess between the option of a $1300 PnP and $xx,xxx hard wire system, the PnP wins out huh?

Cant wait to see it in action. TC and street yoko's vs R888 on an auto

I have been in contact with RaceLogic, and today they confirmed what Mike said. Their traction control unit will not work with low impedance injectors. It is designed to work with saturated injectors. That means that I am out of luck. For those of you with with high HP builds using saturated injectors, it still looks like a very good option.

You can use the injector driver noted above or you can switch to high impedence injectors (from Injector Dynamics, up to 2000cc).

what happens if you have the unit installed and you have low impedance injectors... will it just not work or break the engine over time?

guess its a bit late to ask as I'm using it now...

You will fry the Racelogic internals.

Maybe if you can keep the unit cool, it will last... The peak and hold drivers actually end up using less current overall. I wonder if the racelogic representative took that into account when he said it wouldn't work...

EDIT: Never mind. Found this, worth reviewing (e-mail exchange between race logic and someone having trouble with it): http://195.159.109.134/vemsuk/forum/...ic=399.10;wap2

Dont they need more current for any given power?

p=I^2R

so less resistance means more current for any given power. Thats why it burns up the controllers

They use a spike of current, but then drop significantly (peak, then hold) so overall usage is less (at least that is my understanding). The low impedence drivers raise the ground voltage to reduce current after the first millisecond or so. So at idle they may use more current, but at higher IPW they probably use less, I guess?

That may be an option. I need to do some research on it to make sure there aren't any unexpected surprises.

I just sent an e-mail to RaceLogic to get their opinion on whether AEM's injector driver will work with their unit.

a bit weary of what I'm reading here...

I have hammered the car two nights in a row for about an hour at a time, do you guys think that if my injectors were now impedance that they unit would have broken by now?

It's hard to say. Do you know what injectors you have?

As stated before..... If your injectors are less than 6 ohms... It's just a matter of time before the system burns up.

Better yet, just undo one of the clips (with the car off), and measure the resistance across the terminals for the injector.
