Not yet... at least not that I know of. However it is thought that a MR TCU would do it... no one has tried (that I know of) yet.

 

Ive seen a thread where someone fitted the evo sst and hey presto they said the launch control worked I'm not sure how they managed it.

 

I discovered something when I went from my ralliart to my GSR. I rarely use launch control. maybe it's the significant change from the SST to manual. manual suits my driving style and I was unhappy as a primary street driver. the SST for me, and the way I drive essentially was an automatic. I did my fair share of hotrodding and fooling around. Now I've come to realize that Launch control is completely useless on the street. Again, maybe this is because I'm on a manual and I can just fly it wide open when I so desire, or maybe it's just because of the increase in output from the motor that makes it seem senseless since it's the same ricers in Brevard that are still trying to race me?

Just my thoughts on factory launch control on the street, based on my driving habits.

 

all you have to change is the sst ecu that mounts on the front of the gearbox... good luyck finding one that is not attached to an evo trans though

 

Yes it has been done. You get LC and S-Sport when using the MR TCU.

 

But you dont need it there are aways of launching the RA just needs some practice.

Oh yeah? I didn't know someone had done it... Anything extra to deal with, or just plug n play?

 

funny that you found that silver ra video thats me at union grove. my tuners wife shoot that. in that run i manage a 1.711 60ft. i have practiced that and i almost always do i 1.7 60ft i have done one 1.696 60ft so for no lauch control that is pretty good.


UPDATE: the other night i did my best 60ft ever a 1.695

 

Hey vicq, how are you launching? That second video almost sounds like launch control.

 

hold the break full bouncing the rpms bettween 2500 and 3k then when the last light comes on full throtle and let off the break. just hold on!!! it take some time to get use too but once you get it you got it.
