whos running Hautech traction control?

[Momo]

For anyone who cares I will be receiving my kit in the mail
hopefully tuesday.

Thanks to Steve (OOZUK) I was able to get Haultech to prefab
the brackets etc. for my grand vitara.

I hope its not too hard to put in, I'll be using a professional brake
place like ABS to do the extra line and my local OL store can help if required.

sounds good, all but asking OL for help if required I wouldnt even tell them u have the kit incase they want to give u a hand.

[Momo]

Haha, my local store is pretty good. It seemed like he knew about the
TC when I mentioned it and is interested to know how it goes.

[Momo]

Yay my kit arrived today, most of it anyway.

I have no friggen idea how i'm going to get this in the car,
it looks more complicated than I thought.

[jeep97tj]

Is it just bolt on?? is tha harness made for your 4x4 or do u have to wire it your self?? Got any pics of the kit??

[Momo]

Well, the wiring is independant of the car other than supplying power
and earth etc. and possibly connecting a switch to the 4wd light to turn it on.
The sensors also need to be wired to the control unit.
Most of the brackets have been made for my car except I have ABS
which complicates it a little, not sure where they all go as I have to call them
for instructions. The brake lines have to be cut and routed through each of the
4 additional cylinders supplied and a compressor and tank need to
be installed somewhere aswell.
This is still a 'prototype' version and I get the feeling I rushed them a little
to send it over as there were some unexpected delays but I had booked
the time off work to get it done.

I can take some pics but will ask Haultech first to see if they mind.

[Momo]

Hmmm, seems you can't attach pics here.

[oozuk]

open a photobucket account and link your photos from there mate..

how's it going anyways tried it out yet ???

[Momo]

G'day mate,

It won't be finished till next week sometime.
The brake lines are booked in for monday, hopefully i'll have
everything else done for then.

The front wheels were a bit of a problem because your car didn't have
ABS and on my car there is an ABS disk behind the rotor that is in the way of where the sensor was going to go.
So i'm making a few brackets myself with just a hammer and a
hacksaw so its pretty slow going. I felt like sending it back a few times
but now it looks like it can still be done so i'll keep going and see if it
works out. Should be awesome once its all done though.

I'll get some pics up soon, thanks for the tip.

Ok, here goes :

This is the kit minus the tank and a few connections





These are the two front cylinders I tucked up near the ABS unit
to make the brake line rerouting a bit easier. The other cylinders are installed above the rear axle on a crossmember.





The small tank and compressor required to operate the system around 100psi.





This is the front sensor that is counting the rear of the studs as
they rotate past. It is basically a metal detector.
