Playing with launch control

Roger-Dee · 10-27-2009, 10:41 PM

I did those 3 little video this sunday, it was a nice day and I wanted to play with the 940 before getting it stored.

I just bought a 4.5" suction camera mount, I hope to get it before it start snowing.

Launch control at 4000rpm, 2nd gear.

Your launch control is so violent! What are your settings like? Obviously running spark cut but how much boost can you build?

If/when I get the crappy RPM spikes cured on mine, next up on the to-do list is to install a clutch switch so I can do launch/flat shift.

Karl Buchka · 10-28-2009, 09:59 AM

Looks like you had a blast. Great videos.

Roger-Dee · 10-28-2009, 05:10 PM

Thanks everyone for the comment. When I'll get my new camera mount I'll try to shoot the death of my rear tire.

No cops in that area of the city. Hell i'd like to bring some security cone and make a small circle, drift around it, make it bigger, repeat. I pretty much suck a drifting a right turn...

Retard above 3200, hard limit at 3500, retard to 5 deg. I let 300 rpm between the starting rpm and the hard limit. At 4000rpm I was getting 10psi on every explosion and the gauge settle at 5 otherwise, but it happen so fast :P

At my local racetrack they named me "Volvo popcorn" and then when the car started to run faster I became "Doctor volvo" and he quickly add "because it operate!"

Been there, done that. Have you tried to take your ground out of the MS box? Using the relay method that John posted a while ago? My tach output gave me nightmare, I was really happy when I got it going.
