Amjad Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 Isn't it an option to get the launch control programmed? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlet dude Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 yea cant seem to get through to stephen who forged my engine and fitted emu and all does anybody know if he changed his number he was the guy that used to offer the forged setup through trevor on toyota gt turbo forum Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Jhandy Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 sounds like it hasn't been set up dude Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BoostJunkie Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 LAunch control is not all about spitting flames its just to spool the turbo up so once you lift off the clutch you have instant boost, bee r rev limiters may pop out flames but come at a cost like your crank this is how launch control is supposed to be.http://youtu.be/uo_IQJy128c Quote Link to post Share on other sites
grum-glanza Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 i wud think its down to the map on the car you can map it a small bit rich when its on the overun so you see a small bit of flame Quote Link to post Share on other sites

_shaun_ Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 launch control doesnt need flames but as said if u run the map a bit rich were it kicks in it should pop flames out. also helps to have from the turbo down to the backbox heatwraped to keep that heat in Quote Link to post Share on other sites
