simtek launch control
Quick question on how this works,is it set so it retards igniton and limits revs until a set speed is obtained or is it untill a button or clutch is released?

Permanently set on mine at 4200rpm in 1st gear with depressed clutch, sits their reving, popping, cackling awaiting the clutch release :thumb:

that would only be possible with wheel speed sensors

No idea but unless it was used on grass allowing the wheels to spin the instant boost would kill my transmission:lol1: It's for tarts who like noises or people who have proper built gearboxes:thumb:
the limiting of wheelspin will be different dependant on power/surface/tyres, they only way to set up properly is testing. |
No :p :D

Don't think of it as traction control, it won't manage wheelspin, it's just a way of building boost while on the start line. |

No :p :D
sti8 6 speed no good then? |
What I heard off, is that itīs quite harmful for the valves and the turbo! :(

Had launch and anti-lag fitted when i had the car remapped last week, haven't had the stones to try launch control yet. According to Bob, best to wait for a damp day unless you want to risk breaking something.

LOL Simtek seems to be the ECU of choice for those with early classics. Launch control is certainly a tarts part on the original box and clutch of a 69k 1995 STi :p

No its for people who want quick starts for sprinting etc and not just tarts for the noise,even though there are people out there just for the noise:lol: .my 2003 6 speeder has done 2 seasons of sprinting with full throttle drop clutch starts.:thumb:

For gravel use turning it off at 1mph is supposed to be best according to Steve S , for the local 1/8th strip I run approx 7mph as it is a bit kinder to the transmission.. The guys using it are running consistant 1.7 60fts and one managed a 1.65 all on an unprepped surface.. |
Interesting :thumb:

Sorry to go slightly off the Launch Control topic, but can you have anti-lag when using Ecutek??

The SimTek will turn off at what ever wheel speed it is told to by the mapper , the amount of boost at launch is dependant on amount of ign retard and fuel cuts..
