Default Launch Control on Omex 600..

Anyone got this ?

Just wondering how you got it working, I've wired it in, on a switch, and it's not working too well

Has anyone successfully wired it up?

When button is pressed it lets me have full throttle but only holds revs at around 1500rpm?

http://video.google.co.uk/videoplay?...38607748068041

Also, when clutch is out it just bogs down and missfires.

Any ideas?


(Be gentle!)

need to adjust the limit by the sounds of it?! have a look in the destructions for it and im sure itll explain how to reset the limit to a better level, id imagine 1500 is the factory setting.

I'm more worried about how the LC knows the car is in motion and to stop limiting it....

I've wired up the clutch switch but apparently this is only needed for the FTG and not the LC.

unless you add a speed sensor, you normally use an on/off button rather than a switch so lc is only on when the buttons pressed

press to hold switch on the steering wheel is probably easiest mate, otherwise you'll need a speed sensor on one of the undriven wheels as said above. dunno how hard or not thats be to do tbh. still, press to hold button would be easiest i recon.

dont even need a wheel sensor just use one that comes in most bc boxs etc. for the speed input for the ecu. goes into the box on the speedo cable 3 wires on it. thats if your ecu is capable of the function of switching off over a certain speed

trouble is thats wheel speed, you want the actual vehicle speed fed into the LC as if the wheels spin up it will see the 20mph or whatever the preset speed is then remove the limiter while youre still wheel spinning going nowhere! the idea of it is to remove the limiter as soon as the car catches up with the wheels and theres no longer any wheelspin.

Right had a look into it, basically on the omex you need to use the anti lag feature to set it up. Need to get proper settings for it.

Done a bit of research and it looks like the button controls the Full Throttle Gearshift, but that doesn't work spot on yet.

Will have a play next time I'm up at ShawSpeed
