Launch rpm limiter

[koo]

Hi

Im trying to add a momentary launch rpm using my transbrake button on our twin turbo v6.

Can I use a DI as a gp to trigger it from my transbrake button?

I want a launch rpm of around 5500-5700rpm and then after I leave I want the limiter to return to the normal rev limit of 7500 I have it set at.

Any help would be great.

Cheers.

Hi Koo

You can use the transbrake to activate a digital input.

This input can then be used to activate the Launch limit.

You screen shot is in the correct mode to do this.

It would be assuming you have the transbrake switch wired to Di1 it would need to be active for 2 seconds before the limit is engaged.

I would suggest starting with the advanced limit mode turned off.

No worries! That was the plan :mrgreen:

So once I let go of the brake it will return to the normal 7500 rpm limiter yes?

Is this kind of cut noisy? IE does it pop and fart like anti lag?

[Simon]

It will give some good bangs as its going to be cutting ignition so you will have un-burnt fuel to ignite in the exhaust.

Once the Di is deactivated (switch released) it will revert to normal RPM limits

would a simple button the dash ok for this ?

[Simon]

Yep you could use a dash mounted switch to control launch.

Simon,

Can this be done using vehicle speed sensor input?

That is to say, can it be setup where the function is disabled by the movement of the vehicle from a stand still.

Thanks.

I have used it for drag racing with a transbrake button for activation. I did away with the transbrake, put in a line lock and use it that way (same button)

With the brake I was launching at 4500 to 5000. with the linelock I launch at 3300. Much easier on drive line parts.

I had some troubles using the advanced mode. But they cleared up when I turned off advanced mode.

can I wire the negative wire from my handbrake straight to the digital input ? so it activates when I pull the handbrake up and goes back to normal when handbrake is released off the line ? is my thinking correct ?

Hi muzzytt,

yes you could use the hand brake switch if desired.

Under the Launch RPM Limiter setup table select a digital input that you have spare as the Activation Control.

Then go to the Digital Inputs tab, select the digital input you wish to use.

Set it up as follows,

FUNCTION = GP Input

SWITCH TYPE = Toggle

PULL UP RESISTOR = On

ON LEVEL = Low

ACTIVE EDGE = Falling.

Which LAUNCH MODE are you wishing to run,

Mode 1 , 2 or 3

Regards

Dave.

[muzzytt]

Dave thank you

[muzzytt]

Ok I've wired it up as you said dave and seems to be working . When I pull handbrake up its says launch control armed. Handbrake

Off it says disarmed.

so ive put it as mode 2 and limitet as ignition cut.

its degault set at -30 degrees.

I gave it a test at 2500 with it armed and got an almighty bang from exhaust.

Is the severity of this adjustable or is this normal ? I'm thinking 2500 rpm might have been a bit low?

Thanks heaps and looking forward to traction control on the I series so I can upgrade to it !

I have wired the xs loom to my ecu to do the handbrake activation, but can't see the digital input active.

I have the EVO IX plug and play ecu, wired the grey wire to the handbrake switch, went to Digital inputs, but doesn't display the D9 or D10 from the xs loom I just plugged in.

[Simon]

If the Di's are not displayed then the ECU have does not support them.

This can be the case where a bottom board has had the extra inputs added to allow for future top board developments.

I just spoke to my tuner, he said the board must not accept any more digital inputs.

Does anyone know what the board accepts from the extension cable? I just checked the +5V wire, and has 5v on it.

That's a G4 plugin which is based on the Storm so you will only have 6 digital inputs available.

Whatever is displayed in PC link is the total amount of available inputs or outputs.
