AccessPORT Update! Launch Control and Flat FootShifting for 2.5L


So Cobb hooked the AP up for Launch Control! This is a sick feature for those who go to drag strips and very easy to set up and adjust. It will only take a quick second after watching the how to video

Cobb also setup Flat Foot Shifting... but I'm not 100% on what that means. So someone please enlighten me.

I rarely drag, but when I go having the Launch Control option will be sick. I just don't like how hard all this crap is on the car, so I won't be doing it often.

The warning section is funny, it reminds me of the hundreds of drug commercials with the long list of crazy side effects at the end...

"It’s is important to know that this type of driving can be EXTREMELY abusive to the vehicle, and damage to the engine, transmission, clutch and other components may occur. Use this functionality at your OWN RISK. COBB Tuning assumes NO responsibility for damage you may incur on yourself, your vehicle or others while using this functionality. It is NOT to be used on public roads."

...and...

"Launch control and building boost from a stop (“at the line”) will product a tremendous amount of heat and stress on the engine, turbo, and other components.

It is NOT recommended you hold the engine under these conditions for ANY amount of time, which is to say do it as little as possible.

We CAN NOT tell you how long is safe, what may be damaged, what will break first, what RPM is safe, best, etc. It is 100% up to you to decide if you’d like to use this functionality and if so, how."

...it's tight but DAMN.

sorry if this is old news

now I get the Flat Foot Shifting... its so you can have full boost and be flooring it even between shifts, but the rev limiter between shifts will hold it down... haha

 

oh man....time for me to go get a V2 now lols.

 

Time to stock up on RA gears me thinks for all of those using this on 5sp's

Mike

 

yes finally launch control on the subies.

 

LOL, that sounds like a very good idea.

 

damn now i want a v2..

 

neat, too bad i got 2.0

 

Get back to tuning my car!!!

 

So exactly how bad is it for the non die hard 1/4mile guy who races once every few months at the track?

And if it does cause us to mess things up what will mess up and how much will it cost? Ya know, like some RA gears

 

lmao.... its a brunch break at GST fool:RockOn - not mine:

 

Thats pretty slick. It's interesting how they're using the cruse control.

I can't wait for the "I blew my tranny with launch control, will subaru cover it?" threads.

 

lol thats the reason i dont go to drag strips... id rather go to track days and mountain runs than 1/4mi..

 

This is soooooo going on the STi...

 

well i can say if you have a 5M and use it and just dump the clutch and not ride the **** out of it. I would say you have a 98% chance of snapping your entire drive-train your first time out...


if I used launch control I would ride the **** out of my clutch to avoid shattering everything off the line.



on second thought... I could just side step the clutch, and shatter all my axles/driveshaft and it would give me a good excuse to buy stronger ones
