where should i luanch in awd

[GalantVR-4]

I was told about 5500 rpm then drop the clutch, what do you guys do with your awd turbos?

thanks

I launch around 5.5-6k rpms, then I very quickly slip the clutch out. I actually got a better 60' (1.8) by slipping the clutch rather than dumping it (best of a 2.0 60' by dumping). My best advice to you is, take it to the track on a test & tune night or a night where you can get a lot of runs in, and just try different things out.

I rev to 4500, then give it a couple quick taps on the gas, dump the clutch and nail the gas at the same time.

Slip and pop at 6k, slip just barely, more like letting it out just barely so i feel it urch forward slightly and pop it, and AWD launch is incredible, get ready for 2nd gear to.

Wont you guys really ruin your trannies by just dropping the clutch?

As for the quick slipping, this prevents tranny damage correct?

Fast slip is the trick.. keeps the RPMs up in the engine's power zone.
Think of it like a see-saw.. you let out the clutch as you add throttle. You'll still end up launching ~5K.. but 60' will be better (and your center diff will thank you )

i baby my baby im to scared to really launch her so i slip at about 4.5k. maybe after i replace some stuff 6k will be seen, but im to poor to go dumping at 6k as of now.

Same here I am scared to launch over 4000. Heck at 4000 the other day I was spinning my fronts and got wheel hop. I though after I got rid of my fwd I would gey rid of wheel hop too. (just got the awd a week and 1/2 ago, SWEEET).

Yea.. I learned my lesson the hard (and expensive way). 5.5K clutch dump and an ACT2100# was the cause of death to my 3-bolt rear and center diff (wheelhop from sudden transfer of tork to front wheels).

Fast slip took my '60 from 2.1 to 1.8 and is MUCH better on the drive train.

I've launched my car at 7k a couple of times.. pulled off a 1.9 60' ft time.. feels incredible, but i dont really do it anymore, i cant imagine the stress it puts on the tranny..

7K! i dont see the need of launching at redline. wat were you thinking man

 

[wastefuldreamer]

i rev to 5500 and slip the clutch good for 1.9 60's

 

[tsi_turboawd]

i rev 4.5k - 5k and slip dump. did a 1.91 60' im going to the track tonight and try to do the same w/ my new clutch. If i dont get a 1.8 - 1.7 the 1st time then ill do a 5k - 5.5k launch

I launch at 5500 typically, then as I slowy press the gas pedal I let the clutch up about half-way, then by the time the gas hits the floor the clutch is fully released. The tires only chirp slightly and the drivetrain will appreciate it...can't say much for the clutch.

Hey this is my friends dsmtuner screen name but anyway I have a 95 gsx and since I got my act 2600 clutch I don't mind reving to 6k and slipping the clutch, makes a nice launch. I find it better than just dropping the clutch. With my stock clutch I only would rev to 4500 cause I didn't want to burn through my clutch so fast. Now I don't need to worry, well I shouldn't exactly say that but at least my worries are at a minimal.
