Launch control.

[FATGTS-R]

Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anybody knows of a link to a site with info on a launch control system for drag racing.

The car in question already has a Wolf 3d fitted and has a manual transmission. So hopefully it would still function fine on its own or even in unison with the wolf.

I had a quick look on the web but couldnt find anything.

I know I remember seeing something written about some type of stand alone launch control system but cant find it anywhere.

Forgot the exact method of how it worked but you could hold the pedal flat to the floor and it would stay at your pre set launch rpm. Also said something about giving the ability to change gears without lifting off the pedal.

Anybody seen what I am talking about or know of something similar?

yeah have seen what you talking about.i think the one i saw has a clutch cut as well so you keep your right foot flat for the entire run.jms were advertising one of these a couple of months ago.it might pay to give them a call...Paul...DIRTgarage.

I'm not familiar with the Wolf,but a lot of aftermarket ecu's have a launch control vacility built in...my EMS QI-4 does... Maybe ring Wolf and inquire?

Yeh i am after a Launch Control system also, i found one in an old Zoom mag (issue 53) but on contacting Advan Performance centre they no longer sell them.

BUT!

have a look in the september issue of Hot4s (no i don't 'normally' buy it mates car was featured in it) and in the autobarn advert they had a kit which started at $199 for a similar brand. Need to do a bit more research and go chat to my mate at autobarn, but i can let you know.

I dont think that the wolf has is, almost positive it doesnt. I have seen the same thing as Phat MR30 at autobarn, would be interesting to know some details.

wat you need is something called a high stall. You set the stall to a max rpm before you lose too much traction (wheelspin). eg set the stall to 3500 rpm and no matter how hard you press the accelerator it wont go past it on a launch. a mate of mine had a high stall on his hk (i think) holden running 9 sec quarters. but i dont know where you could get one. best advice is speak to a specialist mechanic who deals with high performance cars
