Correct me if I'm wrong.

He should have a 3 channel rear end. He will need a 4 channel rear end for traction control.

Tell your cousin that he has a real gem. The Traction Control system on these cars isn't worth a damn. Never seen someone want to add it - but we see people trying to delete it all the time.

I had to special my car and waited 9 months just so I could get a car without it installed. The TCS cars have special rear ends in addition to the electronics.

The TCS only (if I recall correctly) keeps the rear wheels from slipping when you are going under 15mph. It does not give you stability control like a modern car and won't help you if you are on ice.

all it does it cut the throttle if the tires spin too fast, tell him to just use his foot


if he has his heart set on it, he would need a new abs/tcs block, the traction control box and cables, you would probably need an new pcm (or program it in somehow), a 4 channel rear end, and all the wiring. this is my best guess, i could be wrong.

In addition to reducing throttle, TCS also adjusts timing and can apply brakes.

As far as the swap goes, I think this list is correct. Hardly worth it, especially since TCS is not only useless, but also annoying.

Ya in my 02 t/a I always end up turning it off and using the ol fashioned foot as control.
