There is more useless off topic information here than anything else!

Why the secretive nature? Warrtalon is trying to help you.

 

So even with the launch limiting you're seeing results from launching higher than 5k? I played around a bit with it on Saturday and let it chew up some clutch, it kept the revs up and I didnt feel the limiter at all but still didnt get any wheelspin once the clutch fully engaged.

Does the ACT feel much different as far as throw and pedal pressure?

 

WarrTalon, I think we should just leave her alone. We are all making her have fun. When we see a time slip we can all talk about it until then we should just kill the thread. Unless its about some off topic stuff like madweazl's posts. He just wants some info. I will say the ACT in my DSM's was much stiffer than stock and it grabs really low. I enjoy the act 2600 best clutch I have ever used.

Pointless to you maybe. I was just looking for diffrent opinions or perhaps others times with the same/similar mods/conditions. And no one said anything about street racing?

Keep assuming.

 

I never once asked for help. I just asked a time estimate that is all. And then had to proceed to reply to the off-topic questions that came with it. One of the off-topic questions that came with it happens to be the same as you just asked...go back and look.

 

I disconnect the switch, so I don't have the 5k limiter to worry about. If you're not experiencing it, then you're either moving slightly, you aren't revving high enough, you don't have an 05, or the switch is already disconnected.

The ACT has a stiffer pedal pressure, but it becomes completely unnoticeable after a few days of driving (or a week). I've run ACTs with street disks in every DSM I've owned, so I didn't notice the pedal pressure in the Evo for more than a day or so. The clutch engagement point depends on how well it is installed. Mine engages right in the middle or slightly closer to the top, so there is no issue with it not releasing completely when the pedal is pressed. I raced the hell out of it the last 2 days with no issues, no grinding, and no missed shifts that were the fault of anything but my hand-eye coordination, but I still didn't get any 1.6x for whatever reason...

 

Yeah, whatever, she's weird. She races for money, but not on the street. Ok...then it's racing for money at the track where everyone sees the times, but she doesn't want to divulge those times to anyone on here. Ok...maybe there's some other place to race that isn't on a track or street? Abandoned air strips? Either way, anyone at the track could see the times, so it's a moot point.

Anyway, I always loved the 2600 in my DSMs, so I got the new ACT in my Evo, but it's a 2900lb PP now...

 

not if she ask's them to withhold the times

 

Wow this thread is we-todd-did , iam going to go out of my way to not read any more of her post's. Sofa-king we-tood-did ...

 

Yeah, in 7 years of drag racing, I've seen that this many times ---> 0

 

I've felt the limiter before, releasing the cluth a bit slower I stayed off it and it felt like it pulled a bit harder (staying on the turbo because its not bouncing of the limiter maybe?). The butt dyno obviously doesnt tell much but it seemed like it pulled harder than when I was hitting the limiter.

When first dropping the clutch its possible I'm just not feeling it (when I've noticed it the cut is very quick).

 

I'm not sure if I follow you.

When you sit still in neutral and the clutch is depressed, the moment you get close to 5k rpms, the stutterbox kicks in, and it makes your revs bounce at 5k until you let off the gas or until you start moving. It oscillates right there and is unmistakeable. You can't launch off of it without keeping the pedal floored while letting out the clutch slowly at first then sidestepping it. I never mastered it, so I just disconnected it and went back to my old DSM launch style...

 

Hmmm. With the car in gear and the clutch depressed I can rev the car beyond 7k without anything happening. When I actually start to let the clutch out the boost comes up and you can feel what I thought was the limiter kicking in. Feels like a motor bouncing off the rev limiter but not as often, maybe every second or so. I could be mistaking it for wheelspin but it sure doesnt feel like it.

 

where do u disconnect it, I am sure I could search for it but since we are on topic

 

Something is wrong the, because that doesn't make any sense. If the clutch is depressed when not moving, then you can't rev past 5k. The limiter does not kick in when the clutch is being released, because the switch is activated by a little, plastic pushbutton that is only pressed when the clutch pedal is fully depressed. I have no idea what that second part is when the "boost comes up." What you described sounds similar to the stutterbox effect (motor bouncing off rev limiter every second or so), but that's not possible AFTER you let the clutch out...

There are 3 white connectors under the driver's side dash behind the fuse box as you go up the clutch pedal. The 1st is the starter switch, which requires you to press the clutch pedal in order to crank the car (I disconnect this, too). The 2nd is the cruise control switch, which is inactive. The 3rd, which is highest and hardest to get to is the 5k limiter switch. You just unplug it to launch, but I suggest plugging it back in for daily driving, as it causes the revs to drop slowly when out of gear, sometimes TOO slowly after revving hard.
