Piece of advice when working on cars disconnect battery! i blew a 100 amp fuse had to take fuse box apart to undo screws that were attached to the fuse battery out. filter box out. whole thing took 2 hrs ha ha ha
thank you alottt for that i had no clue thatbi had to ride the clutch a little bit and not floor it lol i was getting spanked by an frs off the line but on the highway he had no chance.
Okay thanks. I took my car out for the first time today, all I have is a Tsudo 70mm cat back exhaust, Hybrid Racing CAI, and a base map Flashpro tune. Fastest I could put down was 15.22. I need to work on my launch, I did not have flashpro launch control set up right so it was at 5k and I decided not to use it. So I would just rev it to about 3k and then ride the clutch out a bit to gain traction and let off then hammer the gas. After my 2nd pass I noticed my clutch being burned up (started smelling clutch). I don't feel like I rode the clutch too long, but signs are saying I did. Is it safer to just set my launch control to 3-3.5k, and then dump the clutch at launch? I know this is hard on the drive train but I don't want to burn my clutch up either.
I've heard of people hitting low 15's bone stock, so I'm hoping to at least break in the 14's. Also my 60' time was a 2.466 so I know I can pick up there a little with a better launch.
There's something I don't get. Does the ECU know when you've dropped the clutch? Also when you revved it to 3500 were you full throttle? I have KTuner and have seen the 2-Step setting but I was never sure how to use it and if a switch was necessary.
Hey bro I uploaded I base-map to my ECU from my flashpro and known my car is raving all do way to 9000 I was playing with the calibration and it don’t let me fix it what you recommend.
I know this comment was from 3 years ago but for anyone that’s run into the same problem, just reset to factory settings and find a calibration that works best for you. You can’t just pick and choose what RPM you wanna go to and not adjust the air/fuels to go with it. There’s a little bit more involved than just setting a limiter.
Stock Civic's dont have launch control/2step/antilag. In order to do that, You need to buy it. You can get a Hondata Kpro launch control for a few hundred bucks. It definetly helps in drag racing, i also really enjoy using it.
Ok cool, I plan on buying the kpro with the 05 06 adapter. I just bought new tires, and hoping combined with kpro launch control it will stick better. Right now I have i/h/e img. And I cannot launch what so ever
Very nice, I have Flashpro with a 2 step as well too, but I am afraid to launch my car. I dont want to break it.. Have you ran into any problems launching?
from my recollection, all my launches in my civic, I have never burned my clutch to get that burnt clutch smell. slowly ease off the clutch pedal and when you get traction, let go of the clutch pedal completely
Yes, hondas of that generation and newer have a stock rev limiter set to 4.5k while you're stationary. Once the car is in motion the limiter goes up to redline. I've launched my 2013 Si from the stock rev limiter plenty of times with and without traction control. Pretty easy if you ask me.
Hey how do you turn of traction control, my brother has a 2010 civic si and we don't know how to turn it of and the hondata flash pro is an ecu right ?
Lmfao.@Car Nut has shut down so many wannabees... All this does is cut fuel at a certain RPM. If you can hold your foot steady you can do the same shit. The only feature I found good in Flashpro was Boost by Gear. The rest of it is gimmicky and shouldn't be messed with unless the man mapping your car changes it.
Holding your foot steady does not replicate what a two step does for you - when you two step you are flooring the pedal and usually the e-brake to load up the trans/axles for launch so you dont snap them ---- holding the pedal at 3500rpm requires ALOT of focus which is split second situations is just one more problem to have and keeps you from being able to hold the gas pedal down and just launch with the clutch pedal. There is a reason why two-steps exist and its not because race car drivers are lazy - boosted cars with anti-lag and two steps will build boost on the line because they are WOT ---- holding 3500rpm with very little throttle will NOT build boost or create as good a launch as a floored pedal two step will
aneeb cassiem it's so you don't bog the car, if you just dump the clutch like a noobie and floor it the engine will bog and have to overcome that. Slipping the clutch a little ensures a smooth rpm and take off.
Correct me if I'm wrong but is all it seems to be doing it holding the revs at a certain point. If it modulated power controlling wheel slip automatically through first gear then I'd say it's useful.
Thats not 2 step lol. Thats just the rev limiter. 2 step is what it says. There are 2 steps. One. Spark cut. Two. Fuel cut. End result of that is antilag.
Why you need a step in your computer? Can't you hold your gas? What happens if you get better tires then you're gonna need to rev over 3500. That's dumb af
what an 'amazing' launch .... xD can you just remove the word 2step from the title, this make no sence, no bang, no fire, pretty slow set/reset, this launch is pretty useless
Thetongman just so you know canadian models dont have vsa until 2009.. but they have heated mirrors I believe.. and how much whp are you making with your skunk2 / fullrace setup
