Why Can't I Launch Well?

[sleepydsm]

I don't know if this is the place for this but, please help me figure out why I can't launch my 1G AWD well.

With my last 1G AWD, like 250hp(lol) stock suspension, ACT2600 street, 225/45/17 KDWs. I'd rev up to like 6k rpm, and dump/slip the clutch. Spin 4 tires and haul.

Curent car: A LOT more power, DSMLink, Ksport coilovers, 225/45/17 KDWs, ACT2600 w/6puck. I hit the launch control, and then slip/dump clutch. and then No Lift To Shift. I think when I slip the clutch I'm taking my foot off the gas which is messing up the NLTS function. Make sense? So then I hit the NLTS rev limit in 1st gear. Its effed up. Oh and I can't spin my tires at all. Wtf? It just doesn't happen. I know that sounds ricery, but...

bets 60ft was 1.7 but I mostly have like 1.9s and 1.8s and 2.0s lol



I'm probably a shitty driver.

What boost are you leaving at before vs. now?

[asshanson]

Aren't bigger turbos a lot harder to launch correctly? It could be you just have to relearn on this setup.

[4g63tcrazy]

Yeah you just need some more practice. More power is a lot harder to handle when launching. Eventually you'll figure out the sweet spot.

I'm sure you had a lot more boost built up at launch before, and thus more torque when you dumped the clutch? Just practice a bunch of different things and you'll be good.

If you had a 14B or 16G before, then that might be why. It's way easier to launch a small turbo car.

He had a 20G on it before. And Ive been in the car on a launch and it was crazy. with his current set up it honestly feels like hes just pulling away from a stop sign. Somethings not right.

How much boost are you building at the line? I take it you have the anti lag enabled?
Are you bogging on the launch or does it not feel as strong?

Can i launch it for you? :)

[Shane@DBPerformance]

A 20G is a small turbo though too, they spool great compared to a what he has. Maybe he needs to launch at a higher RPM. A big turbo isn't going to be spooled until past 6000 RPMs in first gear. The dump the clutch and spin the tires stuff doesn't work so good with bigger power cars. If you do spin them, it will probably instantly goto revlimiter and screw you that way.
