launch control, hows it work

[Fred]

Just curious....
How does launch control work??? limits the revs to a point u choose for launch say 2500? then what? so u can floor it and revs hold at the set point? and as soon as u start going the revs fly up as per normal? i duno if it works like that cause then ud jst get a truck load of wheel spin anyhoo.

and if u got it wud u see a difrnc in time? wud the bigest time gain jst b in reaction times?

cheers

i think the advantage of it is.. you can launch as hard as possible But you find the rev point just before wheel spin.. so you can take off perfectly everytime..so really it dont make you wheel spin.. it lets you take off at point just before..

yes no?

[Bazda]

dont worry fred, your car takes off fine u dont need one

[Adydas]

err that didnt answer his questoin.. peniss

[Fred]

haha yea u peniss =) dont want one barry jst curious as to how it works. nice avatar, is that the pic i took? and u said i took stupid angle pics

blak is shiny blak is good blak is fun but blak and gold is old skool

[Fred]

sorry bout the dubl post, in a way i guess its good mayb one day il move a step up from new poster ha, but not soon im guessing

[Bazda]

u could of just looked it up on the net on how they work..easy az u peniss

[Adydas]

look dont make me hit you to together..

2 penisis touching like thats just ghey

[Fred]

so ur saying that u think toyspeed is a stupid idea? nearly every question asked on toyspeed im sure u cud find an answer sumwhere on the net.
i had a quick look and i got random stupid stuff, much easier to rely on the brains of the likes of u

YUCK

AMAZEING what the search button does ti..

i think it works like, when you launch, the controller precicely misfires at certian points to control wheel spin,
This is very effective on forced induction because the missfire causes a change of heat and pressure differential across exhaust turbine, and therefore turbo spools up FASTER.

Dont mix up traction control and launch control as they are different.

Launch control is just a clutch activated rev limiter that can be adjusted.

Traction control requires wheel speed sensors and launch control does not.

Gotta watch launch controllers on turbo toyotas, cos while you are sitting there with the revs holding on whatever revs, you are possibly backfiring away....a large enough backfire could trip ur knock sensor and you will have one very slow drag race

Traction control is like opposite to ABS. yes it has wheel sensors but when it senses one wheel loosing traction, it slightly applyes BRAKES on affected driving wheels. no misfiring.

hes mixing up launch control with anti-lag. Launch control doesnt assist in spool-up. Its just a very accurate way of finding the precise amount of revs to clutch-dump at. Some launch control units use wheel speed as an indicator to disengage, also seen one hooked up to a handbrake.

[RedMist]

There are two different forms of launch control.
One is called two step. Where you step on both the accelerator and the clutch in order to enable it. It sets the engine RPM to a specific limit that has been predetermined (by you) for launch. Once you release the clutch the launch control counts a second or so then disables.
The second is the more professional approach. It uses wheel speed sensors in order to determine slip. You set your launch RPM much as above however when you disengage the clutch the controller doesn't just count, it checks slip between the front and rear wheels and introduces a missfire. Once the slip gets to an acceptable limit it disables and allows you to rev through to your standard RPM limiter.

[Fred]

Cheers redmist that makes sense. so pretty much if ur a half decent driver and can control ur revs and wheel spin u wont b much better off with launch control only a fraction. b 100 times better just to hve a lsd
