Launch control for Motronic

[prj]

Took me 30mins to install..

Look, Like I said I didn't want an enemy, You can't really say that the insturctions for installation are anything to go by, You could give out intructions on how to do it and it would be deemed hard and complicated to do..

Your local garage could install it for you, would that make it simpler?
There's no buttons to press with a WOTBOX and it's only working when you need it to..

No look, you said this:

Just thought i'd put out there that there is a simpler option..

You stated that the wotbox is simpler.
So how exactly is it simpler? I showed you that this is about ten times simpler to install and can be done by anyone, and does not require ANY soldering or special tools of any kind.

I'm not trying to say that all of your hard work is wasted, I was always told that Motronic for my B5 could not be adapted for launch control anyway, so I bought the WOTBOX.

ME7 does have built-in launch control. It's not very good though. Plenty of videos online about it.

Anyway...
We come back to the fact that for a 2.2T owner this solution is:
1) Cheaper
2) A lot easier *simpler* to install
3) Just as good, and in case of flat-foot shifting it will be better.

So what is your point?
You know, if I put an Autronic ECU or VEMS on my car, I also have all this built in. And everyone knows this.
Why do you come to this thread advertising a more expensive solution that is harder to install?

So that it rev matches for you.

I didn't realise that's what you'd be doing..

Simpler option? How is it simpler?

Here you send away the ECU, get it back with a plug and control cable, mount it, you are done.
Wotbox installation - let's see, from the user guide:


Cool.
Installation instructions include splicing wires in the ECU harness etc...

Compared to:
1. Send ECU.
2. Receive ECU.
3. Plug in ECU.
4. Run a wire anywhere you like with the knob, and plug it into the socket on the ECU.

Please tell me how is it simpler for the end-user???

Why would it need to take into account for gear ratios..?

So that it rev matches for you, rev drop is different in different gears.

to be honest the box I bought for £100 does what I want it to.. Just thought i'd put out there that there is a simpler option..

You will need:
• Wire Strippers
• Soldering Iron or Station
• Metric Socket Set
• Sandpaper
• Heat Shrink (if more than is included
in the kit is needed)
• Electrical tape
• Zip Ties (if more than is included in
the kit is needed)
• Razor Blade or Sharp Knife
• Multimeter or Ohm Meter
• RTV or Hot Glue (optional)

I dont mean to make an enemy...

I guess you mean my Turbos and Manifolds.. Just an excuse to buy better ones though yeah?

I run a WOTBOX..

It cuts ignition at a user set rev limit so it builds boost, also has the option to 'no lift shift'

I love it, and the pops and bangs when shifting make me smile...

So?
I can guarantee you that your turbo and exhaust manifold do not smile when you dump fuel into the manifold.
The no-lift shift does not take into account gear ratios either, just a delay.

I can do ignition retard as easy as 1-2-3 in Motronic, but I choose not to, because safety is more important and it's good enough without, and it easily builds boost as well, which you would have known, if you'd bother to read the thread.
Not to mention the wotbox costs 200$ before shipping and VAT, and requires running all the ignition wires to it, altering the harness etc... while this is plug and play.

So what is the point of your post?
Trolling? Advertising? Take it elsewhere.

Will pm you back ASAP - the lovely linear idea isn't working just yet but it's perfectly usable without it - unless you want to fine adjust at silly high revs

On topic Paul: What are the chances of getting in on this VLC shindig, as per my recent PM?

This is off topic really but yes - LHD ABY harness is the easiest way to go for transplant into a B3 Coupe

[andy10v]

Engine from an s6 will be an AAN

Easiest harness would be a left hand drive s2 aby I would have thought as its small chassis and cop.

Quick question ... I have U S model coupe 1990 . I am planning to put a 20v turbo motor in place of the stock one . My question is..... i have found a low milage motor from an s6 from canada. What is the best wireing harness to use which will be the least amount of a pain. Also would this motor be an aan set up? Thanks

The AAN harness .
