Guest infamous me 235 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 well, if all goes well, which it looks like, i will have a pretty fast/quick AWD, automatic to take to the track. What's the best way to launch it at the start? Thanks Cody Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black ITR Guy Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 well im not an awd driver but i know with an automatic you hold the brake and give it enough gas that it doesnt move........like just gettin the rpms up enough that when its green all you gotta do i release the brake and hammer down...... but again i have never drivin an awd but i know that is how the pros do it with autos Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Black ITR Guy Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 yeah if its anything like a pulling tractor (sorry for the comparison) they have alot of "whistle" when they launch but they are manual and they jump it in about what is compared to our third gear. but yeah you want the most whistle as possible im guessing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted February 13, 2004 Report Share Posted February 13, 2004 Yeah, he should when I get the new hydraulic tensioner and pully in and installed. Loose timming belt ownes me. graemlins/doh.gif But yeah, the hold break give gas then go is the right way. You can also buy upgraded torque converters that lets you start at higher rpm's off the line. Here's a good link for AT DSM's. Go to their links section to find out where to get upgraded AT related parts. http://www.ecanfix.com/users/atdsm/faq_torque01.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How much HP you think it has, btw? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Probably between 250 and 300 @ wheels. There should be that AWD dyno later this year. Get it on that to be sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alex1647545498 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Yeah, like I said, I can only guess a range. I don't know for sure. I was going on some cracked out HP calculator but they never work right and no option for AWD or trans type. Now that I think of it... the lower number that the hp calculator gave out would be a good guess point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koritina018273 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 Not sure on the HP figures at the wheels, being that it's untuned, you could always get a little more outta it with some good tuning. As far as launching goes, be easy on it with that 3 bolt rear end, they don't like (or can't hold up to I should say) much beating on. 4 bolt rears are hard to find, and it's an auto, so the final drive is different.

Guest Jen Bell Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 i heard 300-320 in a car magazine, but i don't think that was to the wheels, maybe in the engine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted February 14, 2004 Report Share Posted February 14, 2004 I guess if the HP calculators that's online are giving engine HP numbers then that'd make more sence. I couldn't tell cause they don't specify. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest lustful Posted May 20, 2004 Report Share Posted May 20, 2004 i dunno about how you guys go about launching and awd dsm.. but from what i have read on 3si from all the TT guys, is to rev up to right before boost usually starts coming on and let it go... i would talk to turbojc... he has a stealth tt and he is a pretty good driver from what i understand. should be able to point you in the right direction Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1qwk767 Posted May 29, 2004 Report Share Posted May 29, 2004 I dont know if Many of you know who Aaron "pavo" Parsons is he had a quick auto 1g 11.65@117mph he had an upgraded tourqe converter and he launched by holding the break and gave it some gas and when the light went green he floored it, you can get ahold of him through columbus dsm on there is forum id is Auto1g for more info on hot to launch your car Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave1647545494 Posted June 12, 2004 Report Share Posted June 12, 2004 the best way to luanch an auto any auto is to get staged then bring the motor up on the converter with the brake on. this means rev the engine up and hold it right at your rated stall speed. its probably around 2000 rpm if its all stock. wait for the second yellow light to come on and then mash the gas. you shouldn't have to pedal it or anything its AWD so you shouldn't get wheelspin if you do just keep getting in and out out of the htrottle till it hooks up. good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
