Im guessing, but it sounds like they are using launch control which usually works by retarding the ignition whilst the brakes are on. So you can floor the throttle on the line without over-revving the engine.

I ca do this with my ECU, however on a FWD car do you want full boost off the line? On 15th May, 2009 TurboDave said:

yes most impressive, And Jims correct, i've tried it, and had boost off the line, all that happen is the cabin fills with spoke and you go no where as there is just to much for the little wheels to take. Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Yes, definately a bad idea.

http://www.hunchbackracing.se/fakta.html Nice one ! Making some educated guesses on the translation ? max rpm 8500 - max power 8000 rpm 5 speed with air shift [ presumably sequential ] I'm impressed with their openness on publishing so much info on their site - I know it doesn't tell the whole story , but still nice ... Does the speed of the upshift itself negate any lag between gears , or have they got some fancy anti lag / boost recycling going on as well ? I'm particularly interested because the biggest problem with my proposed turbo application [ Speed hillclimb ] has always been the constant up and down gearchanging . This is why Turbo's have generally not been used with any success . I'm looking for ways to eliminate the worst of this |

I'm looking for ways to eliminate the worst of this you fit a "clutch switch" so each time the clutch is depressed a lower rev limit is enabled, this meens you can keep full throttle between changes (poor gearbox) but keeps the turbo spooled. turbo 16v k-series 11.9@118.9 :)

Yes Denis Poor gearbox, that's another reason why i don't bother, but then again you have a nice non A series box :) so you can!! Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

I do this on the DON, usually only 3rd to 4th, it definitely saves a bit of time as I've compared it on the data log both doing it and not doing it.
