launch control and n02 q's

Post by madiaz »

greetings,

with the clutch activated launch control there is a switch to activate it in the cockpit correct. for example you can defeat it for burnouts and activate it at the lights yes?
where do you adjust the rpm for launch. more specifically after a modification that would entail lowering the rpm is this controlled by a knob or does the s200 system need to be reprogrammed every time?

does the s200 system have the capability to controll at which rpm the no2 activates? is this also something that needs reprogramming everytime?

does the s200 system offer either a set or progressive timing retard function? for example to as soon as the no2 is activated is the system capable of compensating by retarding the timing at that instant ? is this also a feature that needs reprogramming everytime or is it a switch or knob?
if not can you recommend a nitrous timing contoller that is compatible with the s200 system.

thank you,
regards,
m.a.d.

The answers to all your questions can be found within.

Most of the "reprogramming" can be done instantly with a laptop if you have the Honda Logger option.

You weren't wasting my time...it's just that a lot of people come in here and instantly ask questions without any regard to reading the website. As far as I can tell you without actually owning a system [and please correct me if I'm wrong], the launch control IS a clutch switch similar to a cruise control switch; as far as defeating it, I'm not too sure about that.

RPM for launch can either be adjusted by the push button that comes with the system or by using Honda Logger. Some complaints have come up about the button...not sure how well it works. There is no knob...the button is pushed a certain ammount of times to set thousands and then hundreds of RPM's.

I'm FAIRLY certain you can adjust RPM activation of the NO2 system. Again, it can either be adjusted using the button or Honda Logger.

The S200 does offer instantaneous timing retarding for NO2. In Honda Logger you set the Fuel Enrichment Value and the ammount of ignition timing retard. Not sure if this is able to be done via the push button.

Hope it helps...sorry for coming off as an asshole at first! :)

The N2O activation is a Rom editor function (it is in the burned chip), you can in the rom editor set the RPM range to ON/OFF the N2O, engine load (mbar) max and min, throttle position, min vehicle speed (MPH) and the values to fuel enrichment and ignition retard.

I think that this options can't be set using the button.

it is really almost incredible all the capabilities of this system.
thank you for the input on the features.
the only thing i'm still a bit confused is what is needed in order to tune you're owne vehicle.
3 descriptions for this. romulater/ emulator/ datalogiing .
i think either the emulator or romulater is optional. but in order to tune you need dataloging and romulater correct? plus pc and the little handheld looks cool.
i'm trying to figure out how much the system i will need costs.

any way you slice it i am really excited about all the features and want to thank you gentlemen for you're support
:wink:
best regards,

You'll need the Hondata box [S200] with datalogging, a ROMulator or chip burner, preferably a laptop, but a PC will work just as well, and a wideband lambda meter.
