Welcome back - this week we're talking Laser Ride Height Sensors. That's right cars with freaking laser beams!!! Who doesn't like watching cars doing big wheelies down the track? Well, In most cases it'll be the driver and his crew. Why? As spectacular as they may be, uncontrolled wheelies can cost you valuable fractions of a second and potentially cause damage to the car. If only there was a reliable, progressive way to control the amount of front-end lift.... Got a topic you'd like us to cover? Leave it in the comments section!
I wonder if you guys would be willing to cover driveline losses, and how larger, more massive wheel and tire (tyre?) combinations affect the results. It's been long understood that automatics suffer a larger performance hit, due to the changes in medium and pumping losses, but now we have dual-clutch systems, some dry, some wet, that I assume fit right in between auto and manual trans types (tipes?). Long time fan of the Fork, and the Haltech Team. Really nice seeing your colors flying everywhere custom cars congregate. Would love to know if your company has any OEM tie-ins.
THanks for making these very useful and informative videos, love this channel and love Haltech for supporting and growing its users and end supporters. Excellent
Been waiting for haltech chassis management products for a while. I want to see a product that can control active aero all via ARINC. Be a game changing package
Laser proximity switches, I use Keyence LR-T, use them in ply machines for agricultural tires. When the drip loop of material is short the commander action is to accelerates the conveyor to increase the material loop, if the loop becomes too big the material conveyor slows down.
Methanol/water injection on naturally aspirated cars. What does it do? How does it work? How good is it compared to nitrous? And how to set it up and tune for it. (Not everyone has access to E85 :-/)
I too would like to be more informed about this topic. Also setting up a solid state relay and the crrect settings would be great. Plus should I use water/meth if I am on E85????. Can the ECU control this on a flex tune?
Hello from Trinidad and Tobago.im using a eleite 2500T ecu on my sr20 racecar.we are using front an rear wheel speed sensors to help control wheelies.will this unit still be needed? Thanks.
@@haltech Yeah, but it really only covers cars that have it as a pre-existing option. A practical demonstration would be good, especially into an older car.
Should consider GPS steering automation for while in a wheelie, if the car drifts off Centre line, it triggers the left and right brake to hold you down the run.
That would require the need of some kinda brake pump (ABS) One of the things everyone ditch when turning a street car into a race car the steering thing can work if u have a electric rack am sure the haltech software can do that but for anything else it's too complex
Can you do a video on using a Nexus R5 to control basic functions on a street car? And maybe related functions with a IC7 dash? What available circuits you suggest for inputs and outputs, settings etc. Things like: Headlights Turn signals Hazard Brake Ignition switch and/or Start button options Wipers (maybe) It would be super clean if you could use the built in lighting inputs on the IC7 and transfer their signals via CAN to the Nexus for outputs. Save running 7 or 8 circuits in the car.
We've done a similar thing with our R35 GTR build. It's a race car but it's using NEXUS R5 to control everything. ua-cam.com/video/OjBsaF34Ts4/v-deo.html
Scott, Could something similar be used in off-road racing vehicles to shut things down when airborne? I guess > 500 mm would be needed. Or maybe driveshaft speed sensor vs road speed would be better?
How good are you guys explaining details in engineering terms. It's true open source Haltech love when motor minds combine! Some may clone your gear, let's try and keep the bastards honest!
Can't the drive by wire throttle be programmed to prevent wheelie to gradually ramp up the torque curve or can cylinder cutout be programmed to create a a gradual curve before applying all cylinders for full power after a given time off the line to prevent wheelie?
Here one for ya, you guys have a flex fuel sensor for petrol/e85 But what about one for a commonrail diesel to detect petrol? Ive just had a servo mix up the tanks, i was thinking it was diesel but noooope it was petrol mix in it 🤦♂️
Can you run this with a fail safe like wheel speed sensors I have seen drag bikes flip and I always hear it's from something non movable like body panels fluid line or sensor shifts and it can't detect movement
Where are you going? I'm just taking the Yaris in to have some laser surgery. But the Yaris is perfect. Ok, I'll admit, I'm actually taking the Falcon in. Oh ok, hope it goes well.
I have an Instrumentation background and this turns me on. You are really only limited by your imagination these days. Is this what they use in NASCAR to deploy the anti-roll flaps?

What rc car is that?
Haltech is at the pinnacle of technology
Wheeley good video.
LOL - we see what you did there!!!
(and we LIKE it!)
Youre very punny
Rocket science - HA - I always enjoy the knowledge of these guys. Have a safe and nice day all. CHEERS from AUSTRALIA.
You know you've got a wheely fast car when you need this.
On ya Haltech, next chapter stuff here.
OMG! I don't know why I laughed so hard at a joke THAT bad! :P
Great video Scott, really clear and well described !
THanks for making these very useful and informative videos, love this channel and love Haltech for supporting and growing its users and end supporters. Excellent
Thanks for shearing a good knowledge
Can you make a video demonstrate the o2 control function and how to setup the PID system
Thanks for explaining how it wheely works.

This is wheely cool technology... I've seen strut movement sensors before but this seems much easier to map.
and easier to install, instead of multiple mounts and wiring, just 1 bolt on sensor.

Very informative, thanks guy's!
Cruise control, in depth.
We have already covered cruise control in this video: ua-cam.com/video/UsOf4e2oPiE/v-deo.html

I’d like to see a bit on the setup of the start/stop button for the elite. As I’m hoping to do this very soon.
I see you have a Oklahoma License plate behind you. I think you need one from Kansas as well
Is there a way to have something like a cut decay?
Can you do a video on using a Nexus R5 to control basic functions on a street car? And maybe related functions with a IC7 dash? What available circuits you suggest for inputs and outputs, settings etc.
Things like:
Headlights
Turn signals
Hazard

Wipers (maybe)
It would be super clean if you could use the built in lighting inputs on the IC7 and transfer their signals via CAN to the Nexus for outputs. Save running 7 or 8 circuits in the car.

ua-cam.com/video/OjBsaF34Ts4/v-deo.html
this would potentially bring wheelie control to older motorcycles? Might need a sensor with some more height possibilities
Would be great on a Haltech equipped bike too!
Scott, Could something similar be used in off-road racing vehicles to shut things down when airborne? I guess > 500 mm would be needed. Or maybe driveshaft speed sensor vs road speed would be better?
Don't those desert racing trucks use the throttle to change the pitch of their trucks while in air?
Is there a stand alone version of this? Would like to mount one on my bike for drag racing lol.
It did say its 12v input and 0~5v out so I bet you could mix it with other systems
100% need to look into that for the bike
Yup... It usually doesn't end pretty when drag bikes lift too high..
But all seriousness what if you drive over a hole in the road on your streetcar will it hit a cut or is there a gyroscope built into it??
LIsten to the first 20 seconds again... "if you have a circuit, drift or street car, this function is not for you"
@@johngriffin9547 oh my bad totally missed that part.
Also, if you have a legally registered street car that does wheelies you have more pressing matters, like sanity, to take care off first :P
How good are you guys explaining details in engineering terms. It's true open source Haltech love when motor minds combine!
Some may clone your gear, let's try and keep the bastards honest!
Any reason why the output couldn’t be linked to the throttle %, for an electronic throttle car obviously?
Can't the drive by wire throttle be programmed to prevent wheelie to gradually ramp up the torque curve or can cylinder cutout be programmed to create a a gradual curve before applying all cylinders for full power after a given time off the line to prevent wheelie?
Motor bikes need this
hey Scott ..why haltech over Link... if you were getting your first ecu?
Functionality, reliability - but most importantly if this is your first ECU - tech support.
Could this be used on a bike to maintain a wheelie?
Here one for ya, you guys have a flex fuel sensor for petrol/e85
But what about one for a commonrail diesel to detect petrol? Ive just had a servo mix up the tanks, i was thinking it was diesel but noooope it was petrol mix in it 🤦♂️

I thought there gyroscope in ECU setup instead laser like motorcycle iMU ? Laser scope might get dirty or blocked by dust will reduced accuracy ?
Most lrg are completely sealed, all the ones I work with exceed 50k flight hours between even needing an adjustment
That’s the moon tune HELL YEA BROTHER lol.
There is a Nova that comes to mind needing this!
@@Denuto and why are you telling me this
@@Justme-jt1ef because thats how social media works..
I wonder why did you choose to use laser distance sensor instead of gyroscope or even IMU to measure angle?
Well gravity is unreliable isn't it? Especially when accelerating hard.
RC Nerd sees opening scene.
Wonders if Haltech is now making Flight Controllers for drones
One can dream.
LOL - not yet but you never know!
Ma si può usare nelle moto?
Dove lo vendono?
Heard Dom says his charger will have lasers in fast 10 😂
We heard that the Fast Family will be in the next Star Wars...
Wheelie interesting
Hue hue hue :P
Tell bunny!
Why is he steering @0:49 when the front wheels are in the air? :-)
He's optimistic ua-cam.com/video/ZMZJ3ZaEcIQ/v-deo.html
James Taal has entered the chat.
I'm gonna get a R7, turbocharge it, and use this laser wheelie control with an electric throttle body to bleed boost.
Where are you going?
I'm just taking the Yaris in to have some laser surgery.
But the Yaris is perfect.
Ok, I'll admit, I'm actually taking the Falcon in.
Oh ok, hope it goes well.
I have an Instrumentation background and this turns me on. You are really only limited by your imagination these days. Is this what they use in NASCAR to deploy the anti-roll flaps?
I'm pretty sure they're pulled open by the low pressure zone on the roof
@@Mrshotshell ohh that's clever
Traction control, electronic c02 shifters, wheelie control... we are 2 steps short of having a full self driving race car 🤣
* benny
What a shame, Drag racing used to be a sport of skill, not computer programs.
Good drivers are getting obsolete... Soon we'll have full self driving race cars 😂
It still takes skill, but some of those skills have changed.
@@brutallyhonestmf5578 A car is pretty much like being in a damn computer center now.
@@phuzz00 I can see what you’re talking about.
