mps3 take off?

[edmps]

Hi all,
So the other week went down to a private rd with a couple mates and had a lil fun...
was with a wrx sti..
the mps3 did good very good people were very surprised.
in gear 2nd and 3ed i beat the wrx sti
off take off the wrx beat me, by alot lol....
the other car was a stock commodore 5.7lt .
Anyway, just after info/advice/tips on taking off in 3ed.
basically i just drop the clutch at 3-4000rpm...
is that how to do it? lol
a guy i was with said to me that if i pull up the handbreak put it in first and ride the clutch then just put the handbreak down when im ready to take off and it will be a better take off...
what do you think?
whats the best way to take off quickly?

Problem solved.

Your welcome.

Your not going to come close to the WRX off the mark,no matter how perfect your launch is and how crappy his is.
The Commodore will come down to whoever gets the best launch. Both quite tricky to get right.

Drag racing is not the MPS forte.
So just stick with beating them for mid range acceleration. Something that I think is much more relevant than 0-190 times

Launch in 2nd short shift 3rd.
Never going to beat AWD with FWD at launch.
Weight shifts to back away from the fronts

close, but not quite...
if you run drag slicks + get a driver mod, you can get 1.7s 60ft's... but, then you're running drag slicks
at the end of the day, an AWD can pull out 1.9-2.0s 60fts far easier than a FWD car can... a sub 10s 400m WRX gets a 1.4s 60ft

not sure what mods you have (or if you still have limiters on) but without limiters, found it best to get car moving first 2-3m, then give it a bit more... trying to go straight away will only end in embarressment

[edmps]

thanks guys, yeah i know that there is no way that a FWD car can beat an AWD car of take off but just wondering what was the best way to take off. another thing, apparently 1st and 2nd gear have limited boost due to "torque steer" but is there a way of taking this limited boost off? has anyone done this? and does it make much of a difference? thank you

You can remove the limiter in the first 2 gears with a hypertech/AP or something similar, or get a wotbox for independent launch control etc - someone has already posted that above.

[edmps]

were can i get the hypertech/AP thing? and how much does it cost?

Hypertech from advance speed shop, or check for sale section... about $450ish shipped
AP is incoming, currently in beta testing, hopefully released soon, probably be around $600+ shipping...

I've got limiters removed from 1st and 2nd gear... Needs some skill to launch in 1st but if you have great tyres it will put all the power down in 2nd gear, normally that when i catch most guys and by 3rd gear its mostly a case of bye bye

I already answered the question.....


Removing limiters in 1st and 2nd will most likely make you slower, and the car harder to launch due to wheelspinning everywhere... I do, even with semi-slicks... with anything more than ~30% throttle.

[edmps]

Bakis, there is one for sale at the moment, 'mech81' sent a link to one that is for sale a 'hypertech' is this what you got to remove the limiters? and is it hard to install if i give it to a mate of mine who's a mechanic?
thanks

[Bakis]

TBH mate i have no idea about the hypertech or any of the plug and play stuff on the MPS, my limiters got removed from the car when i got my custom tune from HP-F.

Don't need a mechanic, it's pretty idiot proof
Even I, the resident mechanically illiterate person, can do it!!!

Sweet well thanks for the info guys il call up HPF and see how i go atleast now i have an overview what they sort of do lol... so i dont sound as dumb when talking to them... cheers

[mech81]

Sam is referring to the hypertech.
You wont even need HP-F for the hypertech. All you need is two hands, a set of eyes and a torchlight to find the port to plug it in. From there, follow the instructions and hey presto the limitations are off....
