If you add a wheel speed sensor to it then you can have launch control permantly on as it will only work below a certain road speed, You can also add a switch also to this to turn off, or have a button that you press and hold for launch.

If its hall effect then it can be wired in no problems, Use HSI3 for the road speed input.

yep done that already just have to play with the wheel revolutions to get it right.one less thing to worry about then. il just use a switch for on/off

Batt Voltage Dwell time
8 Volt 7 ms
10Volt 5.5 ms
12 Volt 4.5 ms
14 Volt 4.0 ms
16 Volt 3.0 ms

does that sound right to you for coils? got it off a guy on the bba remon site he said that should be fine?

You realy need the manufactors settings for them as coilscan vary a Skyline only runs 1.8ms at 14v.

that looks good cheers! on the loom ive made i was going to use the launch button as hold to set but now marks said i can use the speed sensor (which i should of realised) i will just use it as on/off the same as the nos and water injection etc. easier i think. looks good there tho!! take it your running autronic or similar? really seems to be a good bit of kit! and very user friendly!!
