Launch control for Motronic

[HuwSy]

Oil pump and sat nav have little to do with driving control or handeling. Although given the option to take off tc and abs but without perminantly modifying the car I would. The s2 is a basic simplistic 4wd kind of car which is why I got this over a scooby or a gadget driven thing. I'm more a mclaren f1 no driver aids madness over an f60 gadgety person to be fair and do think the simplicity and originality of these cars should be maintained as they become classic cars, with the posible exception to the simple alarm system unfortunately.

if you are not running Motronic, you have no business in this thread.

Oh so sorry

I can make more than 0.7bar with out LC in neutral with my right foot.

But hey i dont have motronic and mines far from standard

I can make 1.5 bar on neutral.
Your point?
How much boost you will make depends on cut rate and cut type on rev limiter.
Though if you launch your car at 7200 rpm it won't really be that good on your clutch.

I already said once - if you are not running Motronic, you have no business in this thread.
Your ability to take things out of context and misquote me amazes me.

Uhm, you will not build 0.7 bar of boost at standstill without launch control.

I can make more than 0.7bar with out LC in neutral with my right foot.

I don't think he understands Dimitri

Uhm, you will not build 0.7 bar of boost at standstill without launch control.
With ignition based cut you can even build 1.5+ bar.

Basically no - you can not do this with your right foot and it will make the car go faster/launch better regardless of driver skill.
I explained that already once.

D'oh ! beat me to it.

You do mean launch control to get off the lights without thinking about the take off? If so I stick to my original statement. No bad... Driving is thinking and should be complex otherwise we may as well take the no thinking route and get on a b... b... bus...

I take it you will have removed the ABS from your car for the same reason
Come to think of it, going by your statement, why do you drive a quattro, you should weld the centre diff up and remove the front drive shafts.
you seem to be much better suited to BMW forum.
The main point here is that if you don't want it you don't have to have it,
slagging this off just makes you look stupid.

Following that logic, I assume you will be selling your quattro as that does the thinking for you with regards to traction and the ABS system handles braking for you?

I also assume you don't have an oil pump but have a series of hand pumps in the way they used to do it in the 'good ole days' - more of a challenge to think about the lubrication as your driving. Also you don't have a sat nav as that takes the thinking out of getting lost?

I for one am planning to add launch control, will be keeping the 4wd and ABS and will have much more fun exploiting all of them as much as possible :mischeif:

It shoots lots of flames out of the exhaust though.

I belive this is the most wanted feature.

[prj]

Yes, but it is good on your car without
I don't think you need it.

[Rocco]

Can i use this with your mapping?

I tried a beta version yesterday.
It works but I need to re-align the code, so it cuts faster. Now it is a very slow and imprecise cut, and it cuts too many cylinders at once.

So at 2000 rpm it makes 1.5 bar, but at 5000 rpm only 0.9 bar.
It shoots lots of flames out of the exhaust though.

When I realign the code a bit for faster cut, it should work in the entire revrange, but that will need to wait for two weeks...
Too many cars to tune right now.
