Im not sure if this is the right spot. It just seems to be more appropriate since it doesnt have much to do with a trans related problem. Any who. Im looking to do this to limit the rpms at which I launch at. I have a stock stall and Im flashing it to 4100 rpms. I like how it launches at that rpm I just want to make sure I can limit it a little lower as to be more consistent. So what do I need to do?

I would love to but it just does its thing. Once boost starts building so do the rpms. I have ecmlink if this helps. What do you have to do to make 2 step work in a 5 speed?
 
In ECMLink, there should be something called launch control, or 2-step. And I believe you can set it at whatever you would like. Im basing this off of the version of DSMLink I saw. It might not be exactly the same, but hopefully it is pretty close.

Re: 2 step on a Auto
I am not a auto guy but wouldn't just boostbraking with a lower stall build plenty of boost and help with traction off the line?
Its a stock 2k stall. I make enough power to over rev it.

Ive seen it but is there any wiring I would have to do? I don't have a clutch pedal so I'm guessing I would have to find that pin out on the ecu and do something with that. Otherwise how would it know when I'm launching or just driving?

Re: 2 step on a Auto
Idk think putting 2 step on work, I would think you need a trans break?
That would be sweet. They just don't make them for our cars. There has been talk a few times but as far as I know nothing has ever developed from the talks.

You can set it as low as 2k. I set it at 3500 it didnt seem to rev over it. Only did it once. I was having some car troubles out of the blue and now the thing is getting tore down.
 
Your two step works wonders if you have it set up on the stall. It helps you build boost *quickly*, and keeps you from burning up your clutch packs. Well, I guess it is helpful against burning up your clutch packs. If set right.


Meh. FULL THROTTLE SUPERMAN!
 
Stutter box on ECMlink is enabled by speed, not clutch. Vehicle must be going slower than 7 mph (default value) for stutterbox to be enabled. Also I believe the lowest stutterbox setting is ~4,000 rpm.


It's offset by speed and should be enabled by the clutch position switch working off of the clutch pedal.

Such as, say you are riding the clutch for a launch, once you go over the set speed it will automatically disengage the launch limiter regardless of clutch pedal position. So if you are still riding the clutch past 7mph, it will go back to the regularly scheduled program.

Making it work on an auto I have no idea. Never owned one, never bothered with them. If you HAVE DSMlink then open the settings for RPM and look and see if you can activate it without the clutch switch. If not, you're going to have to find a way to activate it. Maybe something you could rig up on the brake to trip it, since you'd have the brake pushed down to build boost for a launch.


It's been a while since I've fooled with DSMlink. As I no longer have a DSM, and most people set up their own launch stuff. :dunno:


Try setting the launch limiter to 3k and see if it stops your RPM from building as is. Then you'll know what to do next.

Ok. Well if or when I get the car back together I will give it another try. I think a higher stall is a must to make all of this work properly.
 
Welp, If you know what a two step is, then the mechanics work out. a two step has a 'low speed' switch, which drops the rev limit, and a high speed setting, which is your normal rev limit. a 'three step' is the 'NLTS' thing. two steps are usually actuated off of the VSS. Without the clutch, it will still work. As soon as you roll out of the hole, it will go back to regularly scheduled program. The clutch switch is only there to run the secondary circuit, i.e. NLTS. Now, that's not saying, you can't use the clutch instead of the VSS, but that's the way it was designed.
