Most of you will have heard the term Launch Control, but what exactly is it? Well in a nutshell it is a system that brings the turbocharger onto boost whilst holding the revs at an advantageous point in the rev range.
Using clever ecu mapping techniques to introduce heat to the turbine and remove efficiency from the engine when the engine is out of gear, we can make your turbocharger spin up hard and produce strong boost whilst you are sat with the clutch in waiting to launch from the start line.
Simply flick a switch and your Launch Control is active, all you have to do now is bury the pedal to the carpet and you will see, and hear your turbocharger come onto boost and your rev limiter activate at around 3750 rpm. Lift the clutch, disengage launch control and your away, your normal rev limiter is resumed and you are off down the road at maximum speed!!
The boost depends on the spec of the engine but will likely be between 10 and 35psi.This system is designed to give you maximum torque available at launch time and get you underway at the greatest velocity possible.
This system is available right now for Weber L8 ECU’s only.
