Lap3 Factory Launch Control w/ Boost unlocked

[Username]

it seems that we’re finally going to have boost with factory launch control!!

 

[SKStinger]

$2,000 USD though? That’s crazy expensive for a stage 1 ECU tune.

Different stages of launch control not tune itself

1800 without the LC addition. Not that much of a difference. But damn, can’t wait to see some real world times!

Sounds cool, but with the price difference between this and JB4, this would need to bring quite a bit of additional features for me. Throw in that dash from the video, lol.

You can make 10-15psi brake boosting an AWD now but it just blows the tires off usually. If you're going to launch off launch mode where you can't control the boost levels with the gas pedal you're going to need for them to be adjustable using a turn signal button or something.

Pretty sure its on a new ecu they provide

You have to buy a tune to get the launch control software. $2,000 is the minimum cost. That includes a new ECU but even without that cost it's still more expensive than other tuners (eg. Tork) and significantly more expensive than other platforms (APR for VW/Audi).

APR Canada cost $1200(800 for stage 1,I update so extra charge) plus another 150 Bluetooth kit

I was pretty bummed that no bigger companies embraced the stinger very much. Planned on maybe getting rid of it sooner than later but this is pretty exciting regardless of the price

If the 1.5 w/ launch control could get me in the low 12s without ruining my torque converter and AWD ill be ok with it.

If BMS would do as mentioned in post 6 (adjustable launch control) Terry would hands down dominate the tuner market

That's something that is best left done with flash tuning. Using the brake boosting method you use the gas pedal to determine your boost at launch so I prefer that method anyway.

I did recently hear though one of our customers adapted a WOTBOX for launching, something that the JB4 can technically do, so I'm going to look in to that in the near future.

That would be way cool. Especially if makes the miss fire sounds the old MSD 2 steps make. Just kind of wishing there was a way around brake snipping.
