Launch control patch for 02-03...??

I would be extremely cautious if doing this to an 02-03 WRX with stock tranny. I bet within 5 or so tries, you are going to break the transmission.

 

So you want to put launch control on a car that doesn't run right?

 

I might give this a whirl next time I retune the car. Here's another +1 for openecu considering that APv2 was the only way short of a full blown standalone to get it.

 

That is pretty sweet! I didn't think that non-DBW ecus could utilize this.

 

He has 6MT yo!!!

But yes, pretty much any 5MT car should forget about this and walk away.

Its easy. But making the stock ECU do it by reverse engineering is the hard part.

Even my Fisher Price ECU had launch control on it when i had it in the RX. It was not a fuel cut algorithm tho, it was timing based. It was WAY better than the AP and AEM.

 

Dude, are you gonna get my AP? If not I'll sell it to someone else

 

I have my ecu patched with it.

I can't wait to get my car to the strip and try it out now that I have decided on a tranny.

 

hmmm.....innnnteresting

 

Dont break an axle.

I know I did...but that was patty-whack's fault.

 

i don't dump clutches at redline :rofl:

 

but patty-whack said 'whats the worst that could happen?' and thats what did it.

 

hey bro you know what to do to patch mine? I wanna break some axels.
-side note-Do you need my 5mt shifter w/linkage and ft endlinks still?-

 

haha got into the VIP line.
on a serious note there is supposedly a beta map for DBC cars by cobb.
*runs to look for link*
well it is on cobb forums somewhere but I cannot seem to find it.

 

would this work with AP V1 if so how do iget this LC on my list of maps someone help thanx i yeah i got an 04 sti this would work right?

 

itll work if you have that ems.

 

dam the same as nothing does someone on here knows how to make it work

 

google ECUedit, enginuity, or ecuflash. Each EM has a message board and fairly supportive communities for those of you interested in the OpenECU EM realm. Lots of walkthroughs on pulling roms and reflashing them.

Cue WRXatl disclaimer that whatever you do to your car is your responsibility and you really can screw up your ECU if you do something wrong. Hell Siegel's even anal about having his cell-phone outside the car while reflashing due to any latent radioactivity or static electricity that could come from it.

 

^^^ so u cant do it with the Access Port V1

 

Dunno man, I'm not sure how AP reacts to custom non-Cobb reflashes. You'd have to talk to one of the tuners on here, or join any of those boards and ask somebody more knowledgeable than me.

 

its only for open source as far as i can read

 

someone on here knows im welling to pay not much but ill trow some cash

 

What about an RA 5MT?

 

Launch control is not a good idea on RA's either.

here's a good faq on reflashing your own car. romraider is apparently the new name for enginuity so forgot that part from my older posts.

 

bump..have a newb question. So is this safer than your typical fuel-cut launch control? Is it timing based? good idea/bad idea?

oh and will it work with ecutek?

 

You're a dummy!

 

no, im a smarty!

 

somehow I missed this...

Again

.

You'd have to have 4.444 final drive F/R with PPG straight cut gears before you can get away with this 'somewhat reliably'.

 

If it does use timing retard then yes. Otherwise, last I checked its still fuel cut rev limit based on an aux input.

If fuel cut: bad idea PERIOD.

If timing retard: BAD idea for any 5MT car. Fine and dandy for 6MT cars.

 

crap. After looking again I think its fuel-cut based

So what launch controls are out there that are timing based and safe?

 

probably none.

 

You can't have explosions outside the combustion chamber and be safe...

Siegel

 

anti lag is 'safe'...:rofl:

But if someone would come up with a timing based launch control...that would be awesome.
