I had my 03 evo 8 reflashed by a local guy that i met at a autox event. the map that he put on my ecu included a 2 step i believe that is set at 6500 rpms.

It is not a Rev limiter cause i can go past it while in gear and moving. My question is, Having a stock motor and only having a Turbo back and uicp. Do you guy's think a 6500rpm 2 step is too harmfull for my motor? I know it's not good for it anyway's. but being at 6500rpms not 5500rpm is it way worse? Thanks for the help!

6500 si great for launching some guys like to take the 2 step out,,, i lke it its piece of mind for me and i dont have an issue launching on the 2 step but mine is set at 5500

your car will disengage 2step if you are moving even if its a little bit, and also if its not in 1st

 

wow 6500 thats high idk if its worse but its high mines at 5600

 

You are fine.

 

thats perfect thats is what i had mine at

 

+1 the factory launch control wont break anything except maybe your clutch if you launch wrong.

 

Transfer case could also be a issue though.

 

damn....mine is at 6k and i launch hard as ****...but i wouldnt do 6500rpm....unless you had a BIG turbo....

 

i spin bad anywhere over 6000 of the line

 

I havent launched it yes as i fear i will burn up my stock clutch. i had it put in about a year ago. it's oem replacement. i have never launched off it. I think i will do a few 2 step launch's however to see how it feels! Depending on how it goes i may get it reflashed down below 6k.

 

I burnt the **** out of my stock clutch because of my adventures with 2step. 16k clutch here...

 

you have never launched before and what not, put it at 5000 and call it good really you dont need it that high at all, more chances or breaking things and really doing damage. You want that go for it

 

A two step set that high is only really good for making boost off the line on a big turbo. I have mine a 5500, and launch with no problems..still make at least 6lbs sometimes 10lbs if I stay in it..

 

It depends on how much power your putting down as to whether 5500 or 6000 or 6500. You dont want to let the clutch out and have so much traction that it bogs (lots of drivetrain shock). You want to spin the tires out of the hole. 5500 bogs bad. 6000 seems to work pretty good on the 325-350whp cars. If you have more power you might can bring your rpms down, if you have less whp you'll need more rpm.

Also there's a huge difference between launching on street asphalt and a VHT prepped track at a dragstrip. At 5500 I could launch fine on the street but on a sticky track it would just about stall the car. With the 2 step set at 6000 it makes about 10psi of boost and spins through half of first on a prepped track.

 

mine is set at 4500 and i can make 10-12 lbs off the 2 step
