Title: How me7.5 launch control works? Post by: A.Dutsov on October 22, 2017, 12:13:51 PM What i want to know is, does it build boost, or just bangs? Is it opening the throttle to allow more air? Sorry but search didnt found the answer ...

Post by: Pasteurised on October 23, 2017, 05:15:26 AM Ive used the softcut launch control multiple times to launch and it works great if you slip the clutch.
I used hardcut launch control once, blew a hold in my backbox and broke my MAF haha Title: Re: How me7.5 launch control works? Post by: KasperH on October 23, 2017, 06:43:42 AM I've launched mine on full throttle 2 step a handful of times :P
Cooked my clutch, broke a selector fork and creamed the stock wishbone bushings :D It works but it's extremely hard on stock hardware :) Title: Re: How me7.5 launch control works? Post by: prj on October 26, 2017, 04:50:43 AM Slipping the clutch is much much worse than dumping it. When you dump it, the stored energy in the flywheel immediately gets transferred to the wheels breaking traction.
Otherwise the clutch, gearbox etc take the worst of it. But yeah if you are driving an old beater, maybe not the best idea to try launch control. |
