FW: DIY Traction Control?

[dzorde at aesprodata.com.au]

     This is only cutting fuel to the cylinder at the moment, I haven't got 
     the ignition side connected yet, so I don't know if it would also cuts 
     spark (don't think so).  Anyway I'm using the AEMS Wolf 3D unit (there 
     you go Rob, a little plug for you if you are still on the list).  
     
     There is no feature for setting a soft cut-out, but it may be in the 
     algorithm (Rob send me a mail if you are still there).  Apart from 
     this minor hitch the system is very good.  I now have it set just 
     above where I change gears, so I just keep an eye on the tacho and 
     change before I hit the limiter.
     
     Although, I went for a drive in a friends VR Commodore Wagon (GMH 
     product for those not in AU or NZ), a '94 model, 3.8L V6.  And when he 
     hit the rev limiter, it was the same feeling.  So obviously car 
     manufacturers don't seem to worried about this.

I don't think you should have to tolerate destruction of engine mounts 
just to have a rev limiter, after all, old L-Jetronics could do it without 
even the tinest shudder.
     
It sounds to me as if no "soft" cut is activated before the full hard cut. 
Can that be enabled on your system? BTW what system are you using?
     
As for "random" cylinder cuts; there are plenty of other ways of doing it 
with almost no side effects.
