Traction control/DSC on FI cars
I didnt know what thread to post this on ---so I'll just go here.
When running an FI car and having a functional TCS and DSC --when those systems activate---do they retard timing AND cut fuel(just speaking about the engine side here)? Should there be a concern activating these systems when you are driving hard and at the upper rpm limits? i dont think i want my fuel cut while i am boosting up high heh
i am thinking it may be better to deactivate these system for a track day event etc?

only thing i've noticed is it preventing wheel spin, and sometimes it thinks something crazy happened and disables itself. the traction light goes on and stays on, and from that point the car electronics does nothing.
so no ill effects from what i've seen.

Hmm, thats a really good question...
I wonder if the DSC engine cut(fuel, timing) even works with the interceptor x installed. This would probably explain mysql's no problems at this point.
Its probably a different story with people running engine flashes like olddragger

I think the traction control on the rx8 primarly uses the rear brakes to stop wheel spin
i found this out when a shop was trying to dyno my car when it was stock and didn't turn off DSC, i noticed the rear brakes glowing orange so thats when i asked if they turned off the DSC.

Sure they didn't leave your emergency brake on That would be much more likely

Same should apply for TCS & DSC with the addition of braking .
I have the logs if anyone is interested .....

I'm not sure if the TC/DSC works correctly with the Interceptor. I seem to remember spinning a lot, especially when it was wet, and it just kept on going.
