so does anyone have any suggestion on the best way to launch a gsr
thanks

 

I know it sounds bad but the best launch I have gotten out of my X was when I revved it up to around 5 then jsut dumped with the ASC off(all the way). It slipped a little but a split second later it HOOKED and took off like a bat out of hell. After that I havent launched it, it tears up everything, so I dont want to do that anymore.

 

basically what cnj said

you can just hold the gas down and the rev limit kicks in at 5k-5.5k (my x is at the body shop right now so i dont remember), drop the clutch and go. 2 step launch

mitsu prolly put it in as more of a protective feature than performance, so do it at your own risk

read some of this thread https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/5574228-post4.html

 

Dumping the clutch will get you no where in a hurry in the gsr. Its all about slipping the clutch. Before this thread goes any further subject has been covered. https://www.evolutionm.net/forums/ev...launching.html

 

....no.... more.... launch... threads...


Here's the process. Rev it. Slip the clutch until it starts to grab. Let it go.

Job done.

 

 

If it breaks, you did it wrong or you did it too many times.

 

Launching is simple.

Step 1: Stop

Step 2: Push in the clutch

Step 3: Put the car in first gear

Step 4: Let the clutch out to find where it engages and hold it just before that (it'll make it easier to slip/dump)

Step 5: Floor the gas, and hold it to the floor. You will start bouncing off the 2-step at 5000rpm and build around 10psi.

Step 6: DO NOT let off the gas pedal at ALL, slip out the clutch until you feel it grab, then let go.

Step 7: DO NOT let off of the gas pedal until you shift to 2nd gear. The gas pedal should be held to the floor from the beginning until you shift to 2nd.

Step 8: Continue shifting gears accordingly.

that's how i've always done it, and it was good enough to get me and my basically stock IX MR to 12.82 @ 107.41 with only a cat back, no tune, no other power adders, a boost leak, and a possibly slipping stock clutch.

I still launch at every autocross, and sometimes just for the hell of it. 146,000 miles, still no problems. i've gotten 70k+ out of every clutch i've had with plenty of launching and racing.

 

So you've killed 2 clutches and breaking in the 3rd on atm?

Sounds impressive I have to admit

 

i'd say 70k miles out of the stock clutch with the amount of launching/racing i did on it is pretty impressive.

 

^ Indeed, coming from VW, this 2-step feature is epic. I had LC on my R32, but nothing like this.
