Results of 1st back to back tests of VLC versus stock ECU. Remember that the ONLY change in code is the addition of VLC - Variable Launch Control.
I was expecting an improvemnt of 0.1 - 0.2s in 60ft times but ended up with 0.3s
More tests to come. Dmitri & I have cooked another little refinement for adjustment at higher revs but nobody else need worry about that.
Now - I am no drag queen - ooops that came out wrong... I dont get it perfect every time - but with VLC enabled it is a LOT easier to get a clean get away with a good swirl of wheelspin and then the G-force hits your guts.
Running uprated chips with VLC will come next - my poor old car is an R&D shed now
How would the FFS kit affect throttle blipping during downshift, either during heel and toe or just rev matching? Would the clutch pedal need to be fully home to enable the engine to rev?
Yes - this isn't just a case of wiring up any old pot to an unused ECU pin... There are some internal mods required on the ECU to make the unused input active and to get the voltage levels correctly balanced for operation across the revs - with boundaries that we have in the code to behave correctly if the pot is unplugged and when a clutch switch is detected in the future.
I intend to offer the Variable Launch Control (VLC) as an upgrade to any 20VT ECU that includes the internal mods with a nicely connectorised loom that can be user installed for the pot location.... this will also be plug and play forwards compatible for features with the clutch switch to come in the future....
So if Launch Control is installed would the ECU have to be sent in to add FFS in the future? Or just chips?
my rally car is only 1166kg so launch control should be pretty impessive ftom inside the car. even if it only saves me 1 second off the start line ,most rallys have 8-10 stages [the blackpool rally has25+] so 8 secnds + could get me that extra place at the finish ramp on the last event 3wks ago we were 7th o/a out of 91 cars only 6 seconds from being 6th ,the 6 cars in front were 1 wrc subaru,1 wrc focus,1 evo 9, 2 darrian [kit cars700kg ],and a bloody 1400cc/190bhp nova[700kg]we were in beating , 15 cars in our class, but i went off on stage 3 sorry its off topic [just fying the audi flag]
