Hello. I am interested if anyone here changed the AWD model to mechanical launch? I know many drag GTRs just put the 20Bars of pressure into the transfer on the launch to make it 50-50 split and then release pressure during the run to 0 bar to make it 0-100. Do you know any device that will do this? Not controlled the factory pump which is unacurate and not reliable, but the completter replacement of stock parts to mechanical pump that makes pressure off the line and then releases it. I know many people on drag skylines made a kind of handbrake that pumps the pressure there before the launch and then release it with launch controll solenoid. do you know exactly how to do this?

Hydralic handbrake and a ball valve/solinoid valve and a pressure guage. Apply pressure to the clutch actuator to the desired pressure, lock the pressure with the valve, launch, 2nd gear- open the valve, drive over the finish line.

Very very simple.

seen a very similar thing on Ebay for a shiteload less than that lol

A lot of the torque controllers on ebay will not do what he wants...especially the only one I found when searching on ebay :banana:

there was also a guy on the forums whose name escapes me who makes these kind of torque split controllers, though it appears he wants something to replace the OEM pump as well?

Is it the Ruzic Engineering one that you are talking about?

just to clarify, the only controller that is any use for drag is the HKS Kansai one linked aboe, and they are very hard to find.

Every other attessa controller from the ebay one ($15 of parts for $250) up to mountainrunner's excellent ones use the same basic technique of bending the standard signals. The standard system already puts as much torque as it can to the front in a straight line so these controllers cannot increase front torque for drag use. They are absolutely excellent for track use though....

Agreed, the only difference is mountainrunner / ruzic engineering one is sooo much smarter than the ebay version. Either way, it was not designed for a drag situation.

The Grid-TS Dancer will do a constant split

    • I swear at my GKTech ones every time I have to take them apart and replace a spherical. But I wouldn't swap them for anything else. They absolutely slay every other option, at least in terms of how they actually work. You sure you don't want to live with bearings? I mean, they don't have "ball bearings". They are rod ends and sphericals throughout. Tough as nuts, even though I have found more than one way to wear them out.
    • From when I was looking at getting the 86 engineered for the turbo, the joint said to put in a few euro 5 or 6 cats, then tune the car on a nice clean E85 tune When I was looking at a turbo for the MX5, it was basically the same thing, a couple of cats and a nice clean tune Although, it will depend on the year of the Jeep IRT emmisions standards required, and what mods are done, especially if it has a newer engine installed that requires a higher Euro
    • Yeah - but it's not actually that easy. There are limits for HC, CO, NOx and particulates. Particulates shouldn't be a concern in any petrol engine unless trying to comply to the very latest Euro standard. But getting a tune right so that all the others stay within limits AT THE SAME TIME is not a trivial exercise. You couldn't possibly get it right by just guessing at the tuner's dyno, unless he had a 4 gas analyser up the pipe, which is not often the case these days. It used to be. Every decent shop that did "tune ups" (as opposed to tuning) would have a 4 gas analsyer. Perhaps there's still quite a few of them around these days. But most "tuners" are only watching O2 and power readings.
    • Slight segway but the most expensive part of the whole thing which I would have thought would only be required for an engine size/type swap, not a VIV test, is emissions testing.  That's when you get into the big bucks.  I can't remember the exact price now but I got quotes for the GT-R based on swapping to RB30 (not that anyone bothers doing it legally anymore...) and it was around $4500 just for that alone.  The guy that does them manipulates the tune on the vehicle to make sure it passes.  The cheaper option is to book into Kangan Batman Tafe (I think that's where it was) and hire their tester.  Allegedly you're not allowed in there with the car though so not in a position to tweak anything to make sure the vehicle passes.  I'm sure in this day and age of ultra tuneable ECU's you could get the tuner to program a special efficiency (clean) tune that emits the lowest amount of particulates possible that would pass the test.  It might only make 50kW's but as long as it passed who cares!
    • I'm sure he has left signs, or, he is looking down, laughing That's my cunning plan for when I leave, lots of half finished projects, with no rhyme or reason of where I was actually up to, just to keep everyone on their toes
