'05 launch control
I know a few people were wondering and I got a chance to try it out on my '05 RS
Warrtalon: It works just like my talon upon engaging the clutch, so I dont know whats up with the MR, I was able to launch on 8 psi
Now there is a bad side to this, the motor said yes! to 8 psi, the stock clutch said no! to 8 psi as it slipped pretty bad. Even the stock clutch on my Talon was able to launch at 4,500 with about 10 psi.
lol
Well I guess I'll just drive it around until the clutch cant clutch no more, then ACT

I thought it was only me. On my '05, when I was getting rid of my stock clutch, I just dumped it from 4k. The car bogged down and then slowly started rolling and building up speed. Glad it's not just me.

If u read Mitsu says this isn't really a "launch control" that's designed to give you an optimal launch. It's a safety feature for the drive train to try and keep people from doing 6k launches all the time.

ron, the evo's ecu limits the rpm and boost pressure to keep you from blowing the transfer case out of the car, and to save their asses on warranty work
you can setup your aftermarket ecu to let you launch but there's always a trade off in treating your car like that, usually something breaking sooner rather then later

you gotz to be professional at it. i had my evo for 3 months now and i still cant lauch it hard. im able to launch the car w/out any bogs or slips but what i want is to be able to launce it where i can hear a lil tire screech and then zoom bye bye sti's. I posted the "perfect launch" thread and i was told the only way you could do this is put a lot of gas. 5000 rpms an up, but im scurd to do that.

The only variable I can think of is that if using the stock boost control, maybe the boost gets limited off the limiter. I pulled a 1.71 60' last night off the limiter and a hallman proRX Evolution for a 12.36 E/T on the MR. Also have 70 passes on the limiter and works awesome.

So you just drop the clutch at 5000 rpm when the limiter is on and it doesn't bog??
Do you have a stock clutch?

But now I have a new Exedy twin-disc, so will see what I do next time.
Also I read somewhere that you can remove the third switch on the
clutch pedal that eliminates the launch limiter.
