Launch issue, what do yall think

[Chipper308]

Just took the 97 gsx out to see how it would launch, held at about 5grand and pushed it a few times to run the boost up, hit it, AWD Chirped and acceled at a huge rate untill about 5-6 grand and then rev'd out, is it a slip by any chance? or is it just me paying that little attention to how far the clutch is out, did it a second time, same thing. when i seen no acceleration in first but the rpm's going up i hit second and it grabbed all over again????

Thanks!

P.s- i am THE newb to the dsm's just trying to educate. just sounds weird 1st wuld run out of juice like that.

Sounds like slipping plus on an AWD car you need to get the slack out not just drop the clutch.

Definitely get used to prepping the tranny/tcase/rear before launching with an awd. Launching without staging the drivetrain is going to cause damage quick

My 2 step is set at 5500rpm i 2 step build boost let clutch out till it just start to grab then release fast not drop clutch but slip a little iv had best luck doing that.

Sounds like the stock turbo. Even my 16g stops pulling at 6k, the T25 is flat out of steam by then. No to mention in first gear your not building as much boost as other gears since it doesn't put much load on the engine.

I highly doubt it's the clutch slipping since you can launch good and it doesn't slip at lower RPMs when your at peak torque. Get a bigger turbo and supporting mods if you want to stay back in your seat at high RPM.

just needs a little power especially with your small t25 your peak boost is around 3000-4500rpm.. dont go to big though. i have problems not getting into boost til 4500

sorry for the lacking of reply.

I set the drive train, no worries, creep it forward and lock everything up so i aint yada yada yada Lol not my first rodeo. just ridiculously new to the dsm/turbo scenes. thats good news, i didnt wanna dick with tranny crap. Im in the process of FMIC, Gauges, new BoV, dsmlink andd then onward to the turbo. the turbo running out of juice makes sense bcuz i completely lose momentum at what i thought was 5grand but then again take into account the time it takes me to look down... ###### around 4 grand in reality. Thanks guys!!!

Quick question, anybody grind gear going into reverse? also if im cruising at pretty high speed if i push the clutch all the way down and want to put it in 2st or second. it absolutely does not want to go in(i could force in if i wanted too) but it never kicked out of gear, and when it is in gear never seems to miss a beat EVER unless i have the above described problem when launching(but that is most likley my turbo according to yall)

Thanks

Clutch might need some adjusting

If your going at a high speed I wouldn't really expect the trans to want to go in 2nd gear and 1st especially.
