ESP / TCS / FAN Modification
2006 , 6.1 L SRT8
Hi Everyone,
We have been busy developing so here is the latest , since the early confusion I have stated this in a more exact engineering type explaination of how the systems work on the LX Car's
The LX platform vehicles have a 3 stage system for computer control of the drive train
The ESP off switch on the 6.1 SRT’s is a 3 stage switch and this is for models built after
8/5/05 equipped with (MK25E abs)
This is what is known as the three-mode ESP. When the ESP Off switch is depressed and quickly released, the system turns off the ESP like any other model, but if the switch is held down for a period of 5 seconds before releasing, the ESP system “Further Reduces”
The amount of torque management provided.
The ESP delete still has a percentage of hold back or “torque management” even when you have ESP in the “OFF” mode on the SRT Models.
Traction control system (TCS)
This part of the Torque management senses impending wheel spin and applies the brakes on one or more wheels and reduces engine torque output using the (ETC) electronic throttle control to prevent wheel slip during acceleration , in cases of severe wheel slip this system will use the brakes and the throttle control and finally interrogate the ECU to determine what torque out put is at and will “partially close” the throttle blades and reduce timing to execute the “torque reduction” and may affect shifting as a final means of correcting the torque output.
Brake assists system (BAS)
This is part of the Torque management system that applies the brakes with the throttle control so that the computer is not just relaying on one system top achieve the torque management.

GS Motorsports has 2 kits available to defeat all of the computer controls holding back the vehicles when the driver wants to go fast without any computer holdback or reduction in power to the wheels. This user selectable and can be turned on “on the fly” and in no way affects the ABS system and will not throw any “check engine lights”.
This was designed to be a “stealth mod” and requires no drilling or permanent modification.
We have also combined this with a 180 degree thermostat and a Fan Mod that allows the user to turn on the fan when needed to lower engine temps, resulting in the ecu giving the vehicle more performance (more aggressive timing) because of the engine temperature.
#1 05 SRT8 – 06 SRT8, vehicles built before 7/31/05
#2 06 SRT8, vehicles built after 8/5/05
We have this Available now and they can be ordered direct or via the web site
