hi i am currently planning to get my v4 wrx sti
ecu upgraded around feb next year with a simtek ecu.

now i have read a littlte bit about it and it says i can get antilag
and launch control.

not to sound like a total goon here
but what are they and how do they work.
i have a little bit of a idea on the launch control but i would like
to understand it better.

thank you

i have launch fitted and basicly with left and right foot all the way down the car holds at a preset revs mine is 5500rpm the purpose of this is so once clutch is released it keeps revs high and hits boost quicker

launch control makes it easy to pull off the line,put it in 1st put your foot to the floor and it will bounce off 5grand untill you drop the clutch,antilag basicaly keeps everything going when your changing gear

i watched a vid on youtube with a car taking off with antilag and launch control and
the exhaust was making these little backfire noises when idling and with low revs is that normal

yes, it works by holding the revs at a set rpm 4,500 on mine , it then keeps burning fuel in the headers to keep the turbo spooling, hence the pops ,bangs and flames ect, this will then throw you straight into boost and the back of somones car if your not carfull, lol

AN07 PTN

you can have your car mapped for pops and bangs.. all it is is extra fuel being burnt ,, no damage caused

my 1998 v4 wrx sti is that what you guys got out of you scoobs when it got done

it all depends on what modifications you have got m8, i have the simtek ecu and tbh they are ok, twin maps ect, plus toys lol

what ecu do you have??? just interested as this a planned mod for next year?

AN07 PTN

standard ecu on my07 wrx . duncan(racedynamix) can add launch and flat foot shifting to the map at no extra charge

i was reading online that when you get the simtek ecu it eliminates the need for a
maf.
is that true?
its just for when i get it done i can take the maf off and put in a custom chrome pipe
with the induction kit on the end

yes m8 simtake gets rid of the maf a very good plus point
