Please tell me it's possible to set something like this up with hp tuners. I'll will be super happy if so. Also, if it is possible preset an rpm for launching, how do you do it?

 

i dunno man. would be nice. was at the track and the evo's had it. i want it

 

By itself, no its not. But there is a park/neutral feature in the PCM. Just need to figure it out and wire up a fuse. Dan is looking into it for his Turbo Setup.

There is really no reason for a blown car to need a 2-step. Just use your foot, throttle management. Worrying about if your foot can hold a certain RPM should be the least of your worries.

 

I already told you, it will make launching so much easier.

 

x2 rally. it was hell to hold the rpms at 2k.

 

this would def. provide for more consistent launching, esp. with the finicky drive by wire on our cars. just a launch limiter would be amazing

 

yea, I want to set it to 5500 for my track launches. check this out, thinking about just buying it. Then I can change the launch for the street or track.

thats what im talking about. a launch limiter would be ftw. i dunno, my first drags were today and i dunno if i like auto x or drag more. dammit

 

subscribed, reading in the AM

 

damn 5500??? i think i should be consistent 1.9's with the new clutch and trans launching at 3500!

 

damn i was launching low
i tried 2. 2.5 and 3k. 3k seemed to work the best

 

dr's FTW

 

stu, check my thread in the drag section. 8.7@80mph with a 2.009 60ft. launching at 5200rpms. Watch that vid in the thread. It comes out of the hole hard. I just think it would be a cleaner/harder launch with a launch control.

Drag SLICKS FTW

 

dr's scare me with stock clutch and axels, and previously i did auto x sooooo. im undecided which one i want to do. auto x or drag. drag was hella fun today

 

I'm a drag racer. I've tried autox, but I'm a drag racer.

 

oh i saw it man, i posted in there haha. you were def. getting off hard! ill let you know how mine starts launching after the new goodies!

if you have mounts there is no reason to worry.

 

check my thread out in the drag section. Stock clutch and axles, 5200rpm launches, no problems at all!

 

Honestly, I thought that 2 step was used by turbo guys to build boost before launching. We don't build boost like that, and don't really want to imo. I launch at about 2000 rpms and I don't really find it that hard to hold it there. Just my $0.02. Then again, I've never launched with slicks.

 

sj you are right about the 2 step, ralli or more or less just wanting a launch limiter to be more consistent at launching.

 

The only thing I've found to help launch the car is lowering the boost setting in first. It actually needs to be ramped up so that you transition nicely into 2nd at 100%. There is no way to do a 2 step as far as I know in HPTuners.

Am I the only one that rarely makes it down the track without breaking something? I love drag racing, but everytime I go I break big money pieces it seems.

 

That's basically what I do. I limit my boost in 1st, short shift at about 6k into 2nd, 7k shift into third...

 

i have a s stage rev limiter on my s-10. It's msd i don't know if they make it for the balt

 

Launching off a 2 step is actually pretty common place in alot of cars that drag race alot with any type of engine combo .

 

Hmmm. mkay.

 

I had Werewolf SS limit my boost to 40% till 4000rpm, bump to 60% by 6000, then back to full at redline...I was trapping 103 while running 14.5...my 60' sucks (2.4-2.6)
