Launching your auto turbo car without TB. Chime in.

[D.T.R]

I am curious as to what and how everyone else is doing without a TB launching their auto turbo cars.
There is only so much footbraking to be had lol... mine seems to like 2800rpms footbrakes... as it gave me a 1.5 60ft (which i know is nothing to write home about... but not bad for no TB on a turbo car IMO). I tried going to 3k rpms but i blew the rear tires (24psi of air though lol). I am going to try lowering the air of the tires this weekend and footbrake it to 3k rpms and see what 60ft i get.

Anyone with a turbo auto car and no transbrake, i would appreciate your input. I figured we could all help each other.

We've done it.

You can try holding up the E Brake and releasing it on the launch (trying to hold the tires from spinning as much as possible). The only other option would really be to go with a looser converter.

 

[D.T.R]

^ good idea. Something to try this weekend i guess lol
I'm going to try lowering the air pressure of the rear tires though.

you running ET Pros right? I run 12psi at GCD in my tires on the spray.

 

[D.T.R]

^ MT ET Pros yes.

What did the car run with the 1.5 short time?

EDIT: nvm saw the other thread.

6.5@110 sir.

I foot brake mine and got my be 60' yesterday 1.46

Don't know what it held to, forgot to look, and it is the stock converter....

I could feel the rear starting to pick up some

 

[D.T.R]

^ yours is a PD blower though, should be easier to 60ft.
Great 60ft none the less though.
When i footbraked mine, yeah the rear went up haha feels and looks funny.

Dohhhhh.....sorry....didn't see you were only looking for Turbos....LOL

guess that's what I get for skimming the title..... LOL

Carry on!!!!! Nothing to see here!!!!!!!

 

[D.T.R]

^ lol. I'm jelly of that instant power tho...

6.5@110 sir.

I think its time now to turn it up and make 1000whp!!!!!

 

[D.T.R]

^ I will. As soon as i get the oil pump replaced by ford i will turn it up.

Oh Shit! You had one that came without the billet oil pump gears? Da fuq!

 

[D.T.R]

^ I don't know of one that DID come with gears lmao
yeah i was one of those lucky guys lol but Marty and FRPP are being very nice and taking care of it.

Definitely do like aaron said & use the ebrake with that converter. Id put a piece of ducktape over the button to prevent accidently letting go of it. Also with the ET pros id run 16-18psi. I had no issue with tires blowing off with them in that range.

 

[dabster]

don't you ebrake the rsx to launch it anyway? shouldn't be too hard to do it on the gt

This is a great idea. I'm going to try this AND lowering the tire pressure some. This 3B has no problem at 2800rpms but i think it might go a little higher using the e-brake like you guys said.

Yep, that's the only way to launch that thing without dumping the clutch and blowing the tires off horribly lol

Yeah if you hold it enough and it loads right, the Rear will definitely raise up a lot on the footbrake.

 

[D.T.R]

I'm determined to go from 2800 to 3000 footbraking somehow lol.
Hopefullt the e-brake and less air on the tires get me there.
