Traction control

[Nathan72]

hey guys i own a stock 96 vs acclaim II...
just want to no how you can tell if it has traction control one of me mates said if u but your foot on the break and foot flat on the accelerater it won't pass 2000rpm... which i have tryed and yeh doesn't go pass 2000rpm... so does this mean i have traction control if so is their a fuse or anything u can do to turn it off

VS has no traction control. It should go past 2000rpm.

No traction control on the VS. The reason it doesn't go above 2000rpm when you floor it with the brakes on is because that is the stall point of the transmission. If my understanding is correct, its like having a 2000rpm stall converter, whereas with a 3000rpm stall converter you could rev the car to 3000rpm by flooring it with the brakes on.

Not a good idea to do it too often, its a good way to overheat the transmission, and eventually kill it!

as above. it's the torque converter. it should be able to overpower the brakes though because the torque converter does exactly that, it multiplies the torque through the first gear in the box to the wheels etc

no traction control.. i believe the standard t/c is 1800... after that the car should try moving..

traction control is by the right foot only

oh ok it will spin the tires say on a smooth car park or wet road well anything reall just as long as the surface was slippery anothe to spin the wheels at 2000rpm... but not on try road... it has a limited slip diff and 9'' tyres do u think that has something to do with it... and what do yours do will they spin on any surface or does yours do the same

mines spins without using the brake on any surface, with 18's, but only 1 wheel

the lsd and tyres would pay a big role in grip as the wider tyres have more surface area on road and lsd send power to both wheels not just one like a std live axel making it harder to spin as u have to spin bioth wheels. If u really wanted to to a burnout put stockies/std tyres on the back. Stockies + LSD = fun

[Nathan72]

yeh my old vs would spin to but only one wheel if i was lucky 2 would spin but the tires on them were only like 16'' by 7'' i think...

[immortality]

big wheels with lsd = traction. ifyou wanna smoke these your best bet would be to put the car into a hard turn and nail it, have soom room though because the rear end will swing around very quickly if the car already has some forward momentum make sure you lock the box in first, once you get it spinning good and have the revs up bump it to second and see how that goes
