has anyone heard of this product? because to me it seems like it would be a good mod
hers a link to it


Gizzmo Launch Interface - All Apps - Electronics - XS Engineering

 

from what i read that thing seems genius!! the only thing that seems kinda iffy to me is the "flat shifting" i dunno how i would feel about trying that on my car. and another thing is that i bet its a B!tch to install..

 

looks like it would work just how the launch control for a utec does. not sure what it's adjustability is though(fuel cut vs. ignition cut). that's an important thing to find out. preferably you want fuel cut. ignition cut can cause detonation, along with other problems.

as for a "good" mod, use at your own risk. many people have had motors go pop from using launch control. mainly from error.

 

another thing is if you use the enginuity setup, you can get it for free

Stationary rev limit discussion

flat foot shifting= unhappy syncros

 

i was doing that with the turboxs utec years ago

its fun!

its always good for a nice launch...5500rpms...in boost..and whap whap whap...your gone

the synchros in the 06 sti we used are fine...even the synchros in our 04 sti with gt30R and meth...fine

even in my old evo from 2-3 years ago...fine

techincally spooling in a stationary position is asking a bit much if your sitting there holding it down for a while as your creating excess heat with alot less cooling so make sure you dont do it too long!

 

you did flat foot shifting in all those cars and the syncros have all been fine? i know alot of people don't have a problem doing it. generally they go bad when someone makes a little mistake while shifting like that.

 

in those cars, i dont think i ever misshifted once...

but if your a mis shifter, i'd be careful

yes sir, i have launch control on all of those cars...and not 1 problem...and my old evo is owned by the guy who own's bc racing NA's brother...i saw it just a week ago...its still doing quite fine

 

STi's dont really have a problem being flat foot shifted. i know many do that with their utec setup.

 

yeah its the wrx's which are notorious...but hey...if you didnt know that on the wrx...well you...havent been on the interweb yet.

 

i've read a bunch for sti's where the syncros went, but more than likely it was a mis shift.
