best launch techniques and getting most of engine

[clidge]

hi everyone got my gtec yesterday and wanting to just try it anyway only managed to get to 60 in 7.3 seconds with standard 16 inch rims itg panel and full scorpion zorst? are there any techniques in achieveing better launch and hitting the power band at the right time...i was ragging in in first to the limiter and then got to 60 in second...help!!! do i need a remap to get the best out of everything guys cheers

I reckon change gear at about 6200rpm just after maximum BHP has been achieved. Any pics of your Gtec? How much it set you back?

 

[lusty v-tec]

id be careful hitting the limiter in 1st gear, cuz that gear is vunerable under stress and over time "could" result in damage to the gearbox.

Cant give any acceleration tips cuz im a rubbish driver and drive like a granny

that's because your being weighed down by that bodykit

start in 3rd with loads of revs, just slip the clutch all the way until engine speed and road speed match.

you'll save whole seconds in gearchanges, just ignore the smell and smoke, it means you're doing it correctly.

ha ha cheers guys going to have another go must admit i stupidly looked at the bloody thing and hit the limiter instead of just driving hoping with decat and inlet work and remap should get that alot lower he he i wish i could dare and strip the car and just have buckets but i love the 172 interior so lol

works every time for me.

 

[clidge]

lol any other opiions on this guys lol

I found out that if you have reach 45mph and switch to reverse, the ECU gets reconfigured somehow and now your standard 172/182 has a 9000rpm redline. 6 seconds flat to 60 :star:

[Christopher]

[clidge]

[Christopher]

no word of a lie.

ask Tom, he's pioneering a single ratio 'box to take advantage of this technique.

iirc he's selling it alongside the race-spec dashboards.

You've clearly never tried a 4th gear launch! Difficult to perfect but boy, the results are worth it!

 

[Christopher]

oh man, you must have skills akin to Walter Rohrl...

i could never nail a 4th gear job.

i can always dream

 

[d4nn3h]

Lmao at this thread... 'am i missing something here' LOL!

 

[BatFastard]

LOL @ people taking it seriously

Actually you have the discription confused.
Our system is built for 1/4 milers and is actually direct drive.

There is no box as such only the diff is retained.

[MarkCup]

Dial in 2,500 rpm, side-step the clutch.
Feather the throttle in first round to 7,000, avoiding the limiter or wheelspin.
Hook second, job done.
