how to activate launch control??

kaj · Post by **kaj** » Mon Aug 07, 2006 6:24 pm

i have a stock integra with A/C, etc. what ways would you guys suggest i switch launch control off/on?

i tried the a/c option. it does not work. yes. i tried to invert the input.
the only way i've had it work is to select "always on". it then works but i hit a rev limiter at where i set the launch.

i am unsure of how the "power steering pressure" works.
i don't want to use the service connector because that just doesn't sound like a good idea, but am unsure of the effects it would have since it would only be while i want to launch, then go back to closed loop after.
brake switch?
vtec pressure? <-- i'm assuming i have launch control when no vtec is present?

i've been trying to find info on this. please help!

noob

I have mine set to always on and at a max speed of 6 mph, after 6mph it shuts off.

you should post a copy of your map and a copy of a recording with it happening.

No after 6mph, I no longer have a 4k rpm rev limit, I go to 9500.... you got something goofed up.

Mine is set to the AC switch, inverted and on zero mph it works perfectly make sure your AC button is on and it works

0mph? so it shuts off as soon as you launch? hm. maybe that's how i have to do mine. do you have your clutch wired to the A/C switch?

i'm not used to feeling like such a friggin' noob.

Yea so soon as your tires break loose it turns of the launch limiter, also i have my clutch switch wired to my power sterring switch but thats for full throttle shifting and onestly i went to the track this weekend and i ran better times shifting my self its cool and all but i didnt see any improvement, so invert your input and set your mph to zero turn your AC switch on and see if she works, thats how mine is and as long as your AC switch is working im 99.9% it will work Josh

i see.. but i like the idea of setting a MPH to get my out of the hole a bit better. otherwise, i can do just fine with my foot :(

How any Lbs. and at what rpm do you build boost at?

mine won't build boost that way. it stays at about 2-3" of vacuum. what size turbo are you running that will build boost that fast?

If it stays in vacumn, raise the rpm..... I know a buy that gets 10lb out of a T3/T67 HO at 8k, a much smaller turbo will make the the same amount at lower rpm's. Try pulling more timing.
