AS ABOVE & how much boost do you generate while using it
my a l s makes minus 4--6 psi .launch makes 4---6 psi positive just curious

 

my 3door's launch control is set at 20psi when launching then peaks at 37psi,Im running a t4 marin shaft.
Dont no about A L S psi.

 

was this stu,s first car with it fitted if not was it live mapped

 

Hi Andy,
To increase the plenum pressure off throttle with ALS active you will need to run a larger bypass valve. Launch Control is only limited by ignition system, is yours on standard type ignition?

 

Yes m8, was stu's project car for it & its live mapped & it's awesome in ever way. BIG THUMPS UP TO STU & THE GUYS AT MSD

 

hi stu i have wasted spark, air injectors ,using qc 57c,s t4 swedish style plenum with 73mm elbow & throttle body bd 16 inlet bd14 exhaust 7.5 forged cosworth pistons carillo rods 83lbs injectors 2wd ex manifold dizzy less ignition
heres the plenum with for now 1 iscv valve

 

am thinking of launch control will watch this closely

 

andy do you run one iscv? and has it been modified?

 

yes james just the one for now with the 8+9mm holes in gonna fit a second one when i get a second iscv housing.with dash 10 hose to intercooler

 

bttt

 

My launch control is set at 20 psi anti lag i cant remember .

 

have you done the rear beam bushes yet as they were fooked when i saw it last & have you still got the dog box ?

 

I will take mine for a drive somepoint this week after i have sorted my shocks.

Pretty sure neither of mine make positive boost though.

Im on Dizzy , std cams, T4 and 83 blacks, 7.3:1

 

Just got this for mine - Not fitted it yet though

 

Had the car nearly 2years, haven't touched the beam bushes when did you see it last.The car seem,s fine now its running as it should ,theres so much power going thought the back wheels it needs a uprated beam which is £1500 from sheady at M.A.D & will be done soon.
Yes still got the gleeb box, bit of a pig when pulling off but does it's job well!!

 

a member of the devon group (richie)owned it briefly & took it to combe rsoc show 2 or 3 yrs ago & every time he put it in gear you could see the rear swing arms move back & forward but he did say it had a very tall second gear .ps i loved that car its awsome

 

Its got very long gears 1st is 75mph 2nd is over 100.
Thats the richy we done a deal with for my dads 3door that he had for 13years.It wasn't on full power when we got it & a few other things needed going, but it is on fooking full power now!!! The launch control is mental!

 

tha launch control must be awesome.

Would have thought even uprated gearbox would struggle with full bore launches.

 

Out of interest, what is the RPM limit for the launch control? (before I go and destroy a gearbox )

 

My ALS is 0-2 psi. LC can see 24-26psi @ 3krpm.

T34.63 and greys.

 

Cheers Ern - you running 4x4 or RWD? also if 4x4, standard drivetrain? any damage yet?

 

RWD mate, and I never use the LC cos it just spins like fuck

The ALS is good fun tho, makes sliding about interesting as you feather the throttle the pops and bangs are immense. Obviously I dont do that kind of thing, being the mature adult I am

 

ROFL - I can't wait to get mine running - tomorrow I'll be fitting the new turbo, MSD software and siemens injectors, hopefully all will be good with the ALS

 

Get some vids of it on

 

Once it is all done I will be doing

 

tart

 

I'll tart you Jay

 

theres a offer

 

Hothot

 

bttt come on stu plzzz

 

What is your launch clamp RPM? We can move it higher and retard further for more boost if you like mate? The valve only affects ALS as LC is in operation at WOT of course.

 

do you have to have maram shaft to run 4psi anti lag?

 

hi stu what is launch clamp i do not know what my rpm is as i run an spa rev counter ,it drops to zero more or less straight away id guess at 4000 to 4,500 rpm .my als is a bit wimpy it bearly pops let alone bangs sounds crap compared to my mate jason 3dr.which is loud as fook .if i fit the activation switch to my clutch can i use it as full throttle gear change .thanks andy

 

your als needs the turbo to be hot to work more efficiantly

 

Had a little play on the way home today and i see between -0.2 to -0.3bar with the antilag on.

Will test LC on Saturday

 

stu if i fit a micro switch on the clutch can i use the launch as full throttle gear change

 

i can see a few box,s being smashed this weeked ?

 

i have,nt got a maram shaft but ive been told the t4 shaft & wheel are so big they can take a fair bit of anti lag no probs
