Can Rain Makers prevent the rain?

Only if the Rain Gods cooperate.

Just an update.... been spending last few days narrowing down a problem. When we have it turned off, but plugged into the loop we got alot of smoke. Seems like its throwing in alot of extra fuel. Removing it from the loop we don't have any issues. Tried swapping out the controller but we have the same problem. Must be a wiring issue. Going to try and narrow it down monday.

Found the problem, the shop that started the install had wired into the wrong wires in the harness. Going to wire them directly into the injector wires in the morning. Should have it working tommorow!

Alright guys its in and working great. Now I just need to spend some time tuning it and getting it dialed in. Ended up ripping out everything the previous shop did and rewiring it all totally. Took me about 3hours total. Pretty easy system to install I have to say. Stay tuned for tests tommorow :0

I also have past experience with both a Bosch system and the RaceLogic system.

For 99% of the individuals who would be interested in a TC system, RaceLogic will do a fine job.

The Bosch system is a true PID controller, which will allow you to match the TC curves to the slip curves of the specific tire and track surface. Then you can modify those curves over 12-possible switch positions. If you do not have a firm understanding of PID feedback systems and how they can be used with tire slip tables, you need not apply for the Bosch.

The Bosch is used by top sports car teams; all GrandAm teams, Audi LMP1, Corvette GT1, LG Motorsports Corvette GT2, etc to name a few.

Great system, but it EXTREME overkill for the average consumer.



Its the classic 80/20 rule, The RaceLogic system is 80% of the function, 20% (or less) of the cost of the Bosch.

I just wish my driveshaft would arrive so I can give the thing a good test. Would really like to have the car tuned and ready for the races this weekend.

Did you ever get the drive shaft in so you could test/tune the Racelogic TC? Keep us updated!!
