on ebay there is a evo 4,5,6 ayc controller, does this mean evo 456 had traction control? or not in australia

It's not traction control.
Evo X has traction control. Evo X uses ETV (Electronic throttle valve) to decrease engine speed to keep traction.
 
so the evo x have a second throttle that is ecu controlled?
its always been an idea of mine to run traction control on a open diff car. probably the easiest way is a commodore set up on just the front wheels to start with. i think they are basically a stand alone system incorporated into the abs module. but there needs to be an easily assimilated way to reduce power on the engine, and of course adjustable slip.
this way you dont need to be purchasing lsds as the brake calipers share the torque around.
there seems to be very little engineering talk about traction control on the web and even less about de engineering or retrofitting. there is a mob in uk who make a setup for racing, so if they can do it, then an aussie can bodge it.
but that would be getting away from mitsubishi madness.
the mrs has a hyundai tuscon with the mitsi v6 and it has 4wheel trac control, but not sure how fast it is active until.
do we know of any good traction control links?

isnt that just called your right foot?

isnt the main reason traction control is implemented is for safety, given the general population have no idea on car control? i.e. driving to conditions etc.
 
the race logic one is not real cheap at 600 odd quid, but it is cheaper than lsd front, centre and rear diffs, not sure if it handles 4wd either
im not talking about trac control for safety, i thinking about the performance aspect, on a big launch and the front left spins up, the brake slows that wheel and the torque is diverted to a wheel that has grip.
an easier vision of the idea is a rock climbing buggy that can lock a wheel that is in the air and divert that power to the wheel with grip with out the drive-ability issues of locked diffs
 
the amount of effort/$$$ to get an abs controlled traction system would be huge

i think you will find an lsd is cheaper and is also better for performance as it offers more grip.

the race logic cuts engine power so effects all wheels
 
+1 ^^^^^^ I'm pretty confident my new Quaife ATB Torsen LSD up front will bias my grip up front.
An Evo 3 factory std preload rear clutch lsd. Steering will be more user friendly.
Cheers !
