Launch Control device .... ???

[JH32]

Has anyone seen one of these before?

LAUNCH CONTROL

I saw it posted on Skylines Downunder .... looks pretty interesting

Dunno how well it would work though .... anyone know? :confused:

[b2barker]

Yeah posted by me. When I first found it 6 months back, I noticed the was R33 wiring diagram on their FAQ, so someone has one on a 'line.

The only that has stopped me trying one is that I intend to try and make a controller that can do this, amongst other things (ie. AFM intercept, boost control, data log, and maybe traction control)

"If you thought your 1.8 sec 60 footer launch was good, wait till you try launch control. A friend has it on his talon, lets just say you'll need a neck brace after a couple of launches."

1.8??? Thats shit.

Hi Guys,

Launch control, flat shift and anti-lag can be found in some of the more advanced engine managment systems around, the Autronic SM2 has all three. They are definately cool features, but tend to be for serious drag racers, in the 9sec or less bracket. That's not to say that they wouldn't make a difference to a Skyline, but I think it would remove some of the fun.

b2barker,

If you manage to make one of these I'm sure we'd all be interested in the results. Good luck

See'ya:burnout:

better than yours so shut up till u beat it k

[PSIKO]

he was only joking skyzerr

I think these things are only about $290 or $300, which imho is pretty good compared to the few grand you'd need for ems which supports it (even though they obviously carry many more benefits)...in fact I'm thinking of scrapping the tyres idea and going straight for this one

has anyone had any experience with these? either this box or from their ems functions?

[skyzerr33]

so to many of his jokes are put downs atm

on the articule its says its for 4wd cars only

or is there more to the articule saying u can use it on rwd cars?

[PSIKO]

I dunno dude, I haven't read the article yet, just saying that I could do with a 1.8sec launch!!

[JH32]

From the website, think it might be predominantly designed for 4wd cars, though apparently it can be used on any EFI car.

i remember seeing one advertised in zoom ill try find the ad again

it was sold by someone over east.

If this is what I think it is, it's just an optional rev limiter.

Hold a button in and it limits revs to a pre set level (ie. 3500rpm).

The E6K on my mates GT4 has it and it allows you to have very consistant launches. Neck snapping launches actually

Pretty sure that it could be used on RWD cars too, like I said, it just limits revs.
