I had a quick question ... someone told me that the EVO has a built in launch control (2step) is this true? Sorry for sounding like a newbie on this but I'm not down to try it out unless I know for sure its true.

If it dosnt ... is there anyone that makes a 2 step control unit for the evo?

 

5K rev limiter.

Come to a complete stop. Select first gear and then hold down the gas and your car won't go past 5k rpms. 5k may be a bit low to launch but you never know...

 

Thatxs what I was told .... I was also told it builds boost at the 5K

 

Warr has it on his car. Dynoflash can do it for u I believe.

 

Whats this difference over stock? They raise the RPM limit? Anything else?

 

i believe they raise it to 5.5k, or you can request a limit(i think) I would go 6k!

 

Yes, all 05s and 06s have this built-in 5k launch limiter that inadvertently behaves like a 2-step launch control. Yes, it also builds boost (~5-7psi).

Also, you can get launch control with a Dynoflash, and you can have the RPM set wherever you want. The default RPM is 6k rpm, which is where mine is set in this video:

Dynoflash 2-step launch control (6k rpm)

It was discussed in this thread:

As requested, here's a vid of my 2-step Dynoflash launch control

With the 6k limiter, it builds 10-12psi, but I would not recommend using it too often with a cat, though.

 

If you want to roll to Phoenix, Jay @ Mynes can adjust it for you too. Did wonders for Maxx's car. 1.6 60' with ats clutch and stock everything else.

 

Warrtalon thanks for the info ... I'll check out that thread you posted!

 

nice info

 

5K is stock. If you need it higher get it flashed.

 

Um, yeah, I think we got that covered. Read above.

 

wait ive revved my 04 to 6k and launched before?? and yes i was at a complete stop, i know that some people say that if ur not at a full stop u can do this but i was completly stopped and able to rev it to 6k and now that i think maybe even 6.5k

 

Ok, monkey, read closely:

 

Um you have a 2004. They are talking about a limiter for 2005-2006.
