Hey Guys,

Just wondering if anybody knows of a link to a site with info on a launch control system for drag racing.

The car in question already has a Wolf 3d fitted and has a manual transmission. So hopefully it would still function fine on its own or even in unison with the wolf.

I had a quick look on the web but couldnt find anything.

I know I remember seeing something written about some type of stand alone launch control system but cant find it anywhere.

Forgot the exact method of how it worked but you could hold the pedal flat to the floor and it would stay at your pre set launch rpm. Also said something about giving the ability to change gears without lifting off the pedal.

Anybody seen what I am talking about or know of something similar?

yeah have seen what you talking about.i think the one i saw has a clutch cut as well so you keep your right foot flat for the entire run.jms were advertising one of these a couple of months ago.it might pay to give them a call...Paul...DIRTgarage.

Yeh i am after a Launch Control system also, i found one in an old Zoom mag (issue 53) but on contacting Advan Performance centre they no longer sell them.

BUT!

have a look in the september issue of Hot4s (no i don't 'normally' buy it mates car was featured in it) and in the autobarn advert they had a kit which started at $199 for a similar brand. Need to do a bit more research and go chat to my mate at autobarn, but i can let you know.

wat you need is something called a high stall. You set the stall to a max rpm before you lose too much traction (wheelspin). eg set the stall to 3500 rpm and no matter how hard you press the accelerator it wont go past it on a launch. a mate of mine had a high stall on his hk (i think) holden running 9 sec quarters. but i dont know where you could get one. best advice is speak to a specialist mechanic who deals with high performance cars

      The wiring diagram for the R33 RB25 is freely available, and is essentially the same same as most other RBs (just with differences as to which pin # does which job). To get the ECU to power up, you just need to provide power to the ECCS relay, and have the other power feeds that come in from the top left of the wiring diagram (wrt the ECU) that give perma power to the fuel pump relay, the ECU itself, etc etc, all connected. When you put power on all these it will just come to life. It's pretty clear from the diagram what needs to happen. Just follow the lines from the 12V + supply stuff in the top left over towards the ECU. I've even posted snips of such diagrams (not for vanilla 25, I think for Neo and 26) to various threads here in the last few months, talking about what it takes to get the fuel pump and FPCM up and going. Search these up and they will help get you started on doing the same with the vanilla 25 diagram. Hell, for all I know, I've done the same with that one in years past and have forgotten.

      Yep...so unless someone posts up the answer you will need to probe from the ECU connector to the dash plug with a multi meter in continuity mode to trace the wires.  Note the ECU has multiple - and + (and across different key settings - Battery, IGN and Start) and most likely the power is fed from the connector(s) that is normally near the left hand headlight.

      Thanks Duncan, I am actually just trying to get the Rb turning and running with the RB25DET S2 original loom itself  I am just trying to get it going outside the body and not thinking about the S15 or trying to match anything to the S15 loom at all I am only trying to see if anyone has done this and what pin they found to be the ignition trigger and ECU+/- on the dash connector, that's about it. Thanks

      M35 VQ25DET starter motor

      By iain_ST44GA · Posted

      Hi Guys, Does anyone know any aftermarket part numbers for a starter motor to suit the VQ25DET? I can find lots of alternative part number for the VQ35DE, which I assume would fit, but there is a lot of conflicting information out there. Thanks..

      I don't understand how this hasn't boiled down to - Upgrade the turbo when you have everything required. ECU, injectors, fuel pump, turbo, etc. Do it all at once.  If you don't have everything required, just enjoy the car as it is and keep saving up your pennies.
