Peter Carmichael Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Simon, you ask the most complex of questions using the least number of words. Q1: I am looking at fitting Launch Control, has anyone here fitted it? A1: Arnie has launch control and full racelogic traction control. He got his best 0-60 at Brooklands with it switched off. Chelspeed has traction control. Q2: How does it connect into the ingn system? Facetious A2: With wires. I would be more concerned with evaluating the effectiveness of various launch control strategies and then ask a question regarding experience with a particular manufacturers product. FWIW, fastest getaway will always be achieved by slipping the clutch rather than by expecting electronics to sort it out. Launch control can help you by giving you only one thing to think about (the clutch pedal). If somebody started adapting ABS technology to operate a hydraulic clutch and integrated that with a launch control I might suddenly be interested.

mike ashurst Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 I think Arnie's got a spare one for sale. Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjwb Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 So launch control systems on F1 cars impede the getaway then? Steve B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chelspeed Posted January 10, 2002 Share Posted January 10, 2002 Last year I ran with MBE 941's launch control (fairly crude, lower rev limit for X secs). I had the option of a rev's/min/sec rate of change of revs type of traction control but chose not to enable it in the software. The previous year I ran full racelogic traction and launch control but a change to 8 injectors meant an upgrade was required to the racelogic so I swopped to the MBE system which was already in the ECU. Next year I'll stick with MBE's launch control and won't bother with MBE's traction control unless I find I've liberated a considerable extra number of horses over the winter and need it more. So another racelogic box for sale if anyone fancies a play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gridgway Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 how much do you want? Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chelspeed Posted January 12, 2002 Share Posted January 12, 2002 It's the full system with adjustable slip. Comes complete with laptop lead, software and four wheel speed sensors. It's about 1200ukp new for all that with the vat etc. I was thinking of around 500 ukp or something like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
