YAW sensor results the day after
Was at the track and switched off the Yaw sensor, taaaaa daaa it worked, I gained about 4% over another car that I have been closely following - literally.
With my switch off the car would go into the turns better and I could slide it at will without power cuts or braking assists from the computer. I have to learn all over again how to drive the car and get the most of it.
THis helpful change also pointed out that I CAN NOT get the car to drive right because the throttle is fly by wire and there is sooo much delay that it drives me coo coo.
Even with the GREAT assist that the sprint booster provides, there are times when I hit the gas and the throttle takes well over 1/2 second to open,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,aarrrgh! I wish I could get a manual throttle body so I could control the car better. Anyone have any info on that ?????
Bottom line the Yaw cutout is a plus, I could feel it. And the antilock brake is 100% functional, this I proved on the track.
If you push, it this is a wanna do option, Woody

Re: YAW sensor results the day after
Hey Woody. The whole yaw thing is pretty interesting. Do you see this as a track only mod? The traction control has saved my rear a couple of times playing on the road but then again I guess if I "knew" the car without TC I would be used to it that way and would not have pushed so far.
As far as the throttle body goes I envision hooking up a manual linkage to the existing TB (extend the butterfly shaft?) so the car retains all of the computer functions associated with the drive by wire setup such as throttle position and ???
You have been inside of the TB. See anyway of doing this?

Re: YAW sensor results the day after
The YAW control that I added is for lateral G's only and is separate from the traction control. I never use it (traction control) on the track cause even with the limited slip I spin both tires bunches - aka sideways.
On the street I use both of them for safety and control.
You cant move the t/b (in mymind) cause if the engine sees more air and or rpm than it wants it throws a code and goes limp. Id have done it if I could get around the computer. It is more than a simple work around for sure, and Iam stumped for a while...maybe someone knows how to go to the slk350 style of throttle body which is manual. Ihope so, Woody

Re: YAW sensor results the day after
So how did you set up a switch? Is it a simple on off? i recall you saying the light stays on even when you sitch it back on but is the t/c still or do you have to reset it?

This is the write up, yes you have to reset the light. THere is nothing to do with the t/c that is separate and not related.
This is for the lateral g sensor only and is a simple switch the break - isolate - the yaw sensor.
