I have issue with launch control. With it enabled, sometimes when I'm casually shifting it would think I'm in launch control mode and basically go spark cut after I complete the shift.

It's lame. How to fix it? Add an inline switch to clutch switch? Raise launch min TPS?

Add I'm a maximum speed based off of front wheel speed. Easiest way to do it is with an abs hub.

Nah I'm just going to hook into the RSW speed connector on the gauge clsuter. Unfortunately I don't think MS3 has an option for maximum speed on launch control....

simply turn on flatshit to rev to 7200rpm and raise the TPS% a bit.


I agree with a speed for launch control, I thought that was added, you can tap into your VSS off your cluster and run it into the expander for the speed...


but seriously, post antilag videos now.

I thought the vss for the cluster was taken off the tranny so it gave you rear wheel speed. Thats not all that useful in the launch control aspect especially if you have it set for too much wheel spin. You want it to cut out just before your actual speed matches your rear wheel speed.

I think blew something up

50/50 engine or turbo. Not quite sure. Limped 2 miles home. Doesn't appear to be leaking massive amounts of oil. Vacuum is fine.

Video of how it sounded once I got home - you hear a rattle that's directly linked to the RPM. Also it doesn't *seem* to build boost but not sure.
