Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Just curious, Has anyone got it fitted? If so how easy was it to fit and does it need to be mapped or anything? And how much was it?? Thanks Dan Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StuDoc 72 Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Pretty sure emu facilitates it. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Do you just want your car to make pops and bangs and flames in mcdonals car park to look cool infront of your mates? If so get a bee*r rev limiter or omex... and have a new engine lined up! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
akyakapotter Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 I'm not allowed it I can't be trusted haha Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Haha was just interested in how it would work on a starlet tbh, dont want to blow up my engine preferably! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Those bee*r things arent really proper launch control anyway Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Was more asking about a proper one that would make it go better rather than just make loads of noise Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Whats emu? Sorry if thats a stupid question Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Thought so haha thanks for clearing that up ;) Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Fozzie Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 GReddy E-Manage Ultimate - piggyback ECU that's real popular on Starlets.Think TD might sell the units & mapping sessions. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 3, 2015 Share Posted October 3, 2015 Hehe couldnt help it! Its a greddy emanage ultimate ecu (emu). Its a piggyback ecu needs mapped to your car. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 3, 2015 Author Share Posted October 3, 2015 Does it make a big difference? Or is it only really neccisary on bigger power cars? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 4, 2015 Share Posted October 4, 2015 Launch control can be quite complex if needed - from simple launch based on a single rpm settings via a clutch switch, to 3D setups that controls the rate of rpm increase to minimise wheel spin via driven and non driven wheel speed sensors etc. Depends how good your ecu is really.

Dansstarlet1996 Posted October 4, 2015 Author Share Posted October 4, 2015 fair enough, didnt really know it could be that complex! but either way its not just a plug and play style system, it needs to be mapped right? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Stu Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah it can get quite complex, mine runs a launch rpm via a switch then runs a ramped return rate after that. Im probably going to run my speed input to it as well at some point but its going to take a fair amount of work to get it right. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Emu doesn't have launch control, it's no more use than a bee r rev limiter really.Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
daniel_g Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Emu doesn't have launch control, it's no more use than a bee r rev limiter really.PhilThey still call it 'launch control' even if its not strictly speaking a proper system. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) They still call it 'launch control' even if its not strictly speaking a proper system.indeed in fact I probably commented on the subject looking at where that's from lolPhil Edited October 6, 2015 by Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 i've seen the emu launch control work pretty decent for what it is....i suspect it would be adequate for the "average" car once set up properly if i remember correctly, i think hybrid/konrad ran it on his glanza very successfully at drags in the past >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_TmSArDDGXM >https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g4ODN4wxraU Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Phil Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 (edited) Yeah and it makes the right noises no doubt. Worked well in my car just found the consistency it gave was still slightly worse than getting it right with your own throttle control. Your foot also allows more adjustability for conditions.The boost on the line is spin city in a road car.Dry day big slicks and a drag strip... Emu or bee r limiter will work grand Phil Edited October 6, 2015 by Phil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
gorganl2000 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 yeah phil...i suppose it takes a bit of setting up to get the base map close to where a person wants it and may even take some further tweeking depending on the conditions.i agree that with practice and patience a seasoned driver can do its all with foot control and "feeling"....but no doubt LC has its place in this world of technology, where teams leave nothing to chance---WRC for example Quote Link to post Share on other sites

gorganl2000 Posted October 7, 2015 Share Posted October 7, 2015 just have to make sure you don't abuse the LC and fry your engine....lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
