Its currently working for me, we are just trying to work out some bugs here and there. Only problem with it though is that because of the way it works, you cant use the Brake snip with the ECU launch enabled. If I had to guess, its because it does not reference the TCU at all when checking for LC. Not sure if there is a way around it, but progress is being made!
Well I don't have a brake snip and was hoping for a tune that's able to utilize the factory launch control sequence but allows you to build boost. I know the Lozic TCU just removes all the safeties but if the EK1 ultimately allows to set a specific boost and RPM target for a launch.. that would be ideal
It wont be variable, as that data is set inside the tune itself, but I am confident that once the bugs are worked out, it could be set at whatever is requested within reason.
If the weather clears, tomorrow evening I plan to try Terry's BEF on a couple different maps at the track. Currently on map 0, since he says that should be equivalent to map 1 on stock. I think I will mix in a couple gallons of E85 (I can get on the way to the track), so I can try map 1 or 2, as well as with 80/20 on WMI map 7.
I would go the opposite way, start with map7 with an additive of 50, see how your pulls are, then just adjust that accordingly, as it can emulate all the other maps while still having your meth safety. See how it goes using just your 91 and meth first, then add e85 if the logs come back that bad. since you have methanol, there really is no point for any of the other maps besides 6 and 7, as 6 is custom and 7 will emulate any other map you set it to do.
Great!
Do the launch control settings lie within the ECU or TCU side? TCU is where the torque limitations are set correct?
No problem, if you can, start at 50, then do 45, 40, 35, ect till you feel comfortable. post or DM me the logs and ill help you decide what to do after if you want.
Yes, on the lozic side of things, his TCU just uses the brake snip without the extra switch. As does Torks, Lap3s, and even sxths non ecu launch. they are all basically the same. When it comes to sxths ecu based lc, its taking the factory values and changing them, which can cause interesting things to happen because its torque based (as is basically everything in our ecu's), which is what nathan and I are trying to work out. Right now from what terry has told me, he does not have access to the ECU launch files yet, so any launch done on his BEF would be through the TCU.
Appreciate you taking the time to reply! I actually have a much better understanding of what's going on within these tunes now..
that's the goal!
I wish I had answers to the stock question but Im not a sxth employee
OK cool thanks for the info there. If the pro plugs into the OBD, I'm not sure what info I'd be robbing the JB4 of that it might need to monitor/log the vehicle.I wish I had answers to the stock question but Im not a sxth employee
as for the pro, no, you don't need to keep it plugged into the car, you only need to do that if you want to use the extra features besides flashing that the pro offers.
I got mine straight from the sxthelement web site, must have been just before they ran out, maybe I got the last one! (Or maybe MFNTBRO)

The JB4 can be run from the diagnostic port if need be, if your car has one thats easy to locate like mine was.
Yeah, I tried many permutations of hooking mine up to the diagnostic port and never got it to work, the jb4 never thought it was connected.
