RaceTCS traction control for Coyote!

[Mbufford]

Hello all. I’m not sure whether this is the proper place for the thread, if not please move it.

I’ve been going back and forth with the good folks in Poland about the new V3 RaceTCS module they released this year.

As you’re likely aware, the V2 module isn’t compatible with DI motors like the Coyote. However the new V3 is! There is a catch though.

The off-the-shelf V3 module will only work for DI motors with active coils, which leaves out the Coyote. However, they did some testing on a 2020 Stang and came up with a workaround that functions properly.

Basically, they have to modify the unit by replacing the transistors so it can function with the Coyote. This adds about $50 to the cost, and takes a couple weeks for them to get done before shipping it out. Other than that, all that’s needed is to disable engine coils diagnostics in the ecu.

I also did some digging with respect to the wheel speed sensors. Since the MKIV kit comes with 50t front reluctor rings and 80-something tooth reluctor bearings in the IRS hubs, I was trying to figure out how to mount 50-t rings on the CV stubs. But, the RaceTCS software allows you to modify settings for each wheel, including the number of teeth. So that takes care of that issue for the IRS folks.

I’m also planning on running a 2008 GT500 ABS, a la JohnGeorge, which appears to operate fine with the different tootling from front to rear. Im not sure whether there would be potential for interference between the units running from the same sensors. But if that happens, installing diodes to prevent crosstalk could work.

Im far off from needing to buy, considering I don’t even have my kit yet. But I thought some of you could find this info useful.

awesome! I know you from the Mustang forum! :) hope the ABS setup goes well and will follow along your TC build when you get it :)

$700 isn't terribly crazy for TC, looks like a pretty involved installation http://racetcs.com/files/RaceTCS%20V3%20User%20manual.pdf

It’s really not that big of an installation, especially if you already have the sensors run for ABS.

Basically, you just tap into the sensor wires, and wire the module between the ECU and coil drivers. Of course, you’d need Forscan or something comparable to disable coil diagnostics—but that’s not much of a challenge.

For the ABS, I’m in a holding pattern until I can get my hands on a Forscan profile for a 2005-2009 Mustang. If all else fails, I’ll go “test drive” one so I can plug in and get the profile I need!

Hello! Its been a while since I posted on here.

Sorry to bring this back. Did you manage to install it? I have 1967 Mustang with 2013 Coyote 5.0 and the Ford Performance 2011-2014 Gen 1 5.0L Coyote Engine Control Pack. I was wondering if this will work with my setup? If I am not mistaken i also have 2004 stand alone ABS from Mustang as well.

Or is there a traction system I can use? My intentions is for street use only.

Thanks!
