New Launching Aide Innovation
midwest monster - with the AEM you will have a lot of options. I see that you were tuned by AMS and I am positive they can set it up for you.
The EMS has a bunch of spare inputs (switches) that you need to ground to activate. Then you can configure your high side (switch to power) or low side (switch to ground) outputs to switch over a relay to activate the launch aide when your input switch has been activated. Then you set parameters for your output based on RPM, Load, TPS, Vehicle Speed.
I was thinking the easiest way to do it is just have it turn off at a specific speed before you shift into second. That way you just flip a switch at the beginning of your run to turn it on and just drive. The EMS will automatically turn it off.

gsnt, you are being fooled with the video. In the video the unit was not working correctly. The clutch pedal does NOT stay to the floor. This is why you think it is illegal. The clutch pedal is actually pushed to the floor and the button is then depressed. When it comes time to launch you simply pop the clutch as quickly as possible, so it is foot operated. This is simply a valve to keep the clutch from releasing to quickly or to slowly. So it is in fact 100% legal.
The difference between this and the factory restrictor is the factory restrictor is in effect 100% of the time. So each gear change there is some restriction taking place. This only works when you want it to on the launch, not on each gear change.

1. When will version 2 be done?, and
2. Would you compare the effects of this setup with the action of the Tilton clutch valve that they advertise as doing something similar in terms of cushioning the clutch release?
Thanks...
Hmm I don't know how the version 2 normally (without ECU help) knows when to stop working. The version 2 has the benefit of not needing to use your foot after pressing in the clutch I gather. But when you release the button to dump the clutch, do you have to do something else to make it stop working for second gear?
But to answer your question directly - it is a matter of personal preference. With the EMS you will have the same functionality with both. That is, the computer can still turn the launch aide off at a certain preset point. So if you want to dump the clutch by foot you get version 1. If you want to dump the clutch by pressing/releasing a button you get version 2.
Shunderwunder - I am sure Dave Buschur would be happy to sell you an EMS (and tune it) along with your launch aide
Version 2 is done and will be tested in a very well known Evo soon. My component differs from the Tilton in the fact it can be adjusted without the valve being disassembled and a re bleed, and after the clutch is released all the fluid is returned like normal ie. not thru the valve for all the remaining shifts. This valve is adjustable from no flow to 100% flow. Version 2 would still be launched by a switch and controled by the AEM. If you have a standard ecu you would need two buttons one momentary for launch and another, on off push type to disable the slip circut. Thanks

Please contact Buschur Racing or ICS their numbers are in the first page of the thread. ICS is close by and they can handle the install as they have done U2SLO's
