Blitz VSC Jumper for 86/FR-S/BRZ

[mav1178]

I'm fully aware of the 86 Nanny, the MIG 86 Traction/VSC Eliminator, and the Cusco VSC Canceller, and what each of those do.

All of them utilize the OBD-II port.

Found this the other day, not sure if anyone has tried it out...

Instructions:

Looks like it needs to be spliced, but a rough translation of the instructions says that it uses the onboard VSC button as the activation switch. "Hold for 1 second within 3 seconds of engine start" is what I read in the instructions.

Perhaps a viable alternative for some of us?

cool find! It's super nice that it uses the oem switch.

Just got around to installing this.

As suspected, this replicates the pedal dance by manipulating two signals in the car: brake pedal, and parking brake.

The install was relatively simple. If you are not good with electronics I suggest you have a professional do it. It took me about 30 minutes (most of that was spent taking pictures).

The unit beeps audibly for about 7-10 seconds, and during that timeframe you can disable traction control by pressing down on the VSC button in the center console for about 5 seconds. The usual conditions for pedal dance (not moving + warm engine) need to be met.

Kind of nice that it allows disabling traction control with use of factory buttons.

Hi Alex,

Do you know if it will work on a facelift 2017 Subaru BRZ?
You wrote you have taken pictures, would you mind sharing some and write brief installation instructions along?
