Have you wired E16 to a clutch switch?

If that has to be done besides just using a conversion harness for eg/dc then I have probably not done it. I will have to check. I will let you know tomorrow.

Is there a way that the launch control would work correctly and the full shift wouldnt?

From the Kmanager help file (help, about):

Launch Control and Full Throttle Shift
Launch control works by limiting the engine speed to a pre-determined rpm in order to give more consistent launches. Full throttle shift limits the engine speed while shifting so that the throttle does not need to be released.

Both launch control and full throttle shift use a shared clutch input, with Launch Control being active when the vehicle is stationary and Full Throttle Shift activating when the vehicle is moving.

It is possible to retard timing and add fuel in order to spool a turbo when launching, and to keep the turbo spooled when shifting.

Note that both Launch Control and Full Throttle Shift uses stock rev limiter behaviour, and thus may not be suitable for certain engine combinations and launch rpms.

Launch Control


Fuel & Ignition retard activation RPM - determines when the fuel and ignition should be adjusted while using the launch limiter. Normally this should be below the launch rpm limiter, otherwise the fuel and ignition changes will not take affect.

Launch RPM limiter - sets the launch rpm limit.

Full Throttle Shift


Fuel & Ignition retard activation RPM - determines when the fuel and ignition should be adjusted during a shift. Normally this should be below the shift rpm limiter, otherwise the fuel and ignition changes will not take affect.

Launch RPM limiter - sets the shift rpm limit. Normally this is the average rpm for the next gear after a shift - approximately 20% less than the shift point, around 6000-7000 rpm.

Clutch Switch

The clutch switch is used to trigger both launch control and full throttle shift. It is important to use a clutch switch which triggers close to the clutch engagement point. For this reason, the starter disable switch and cruise control switch are not suitable for use as a clutch switch. The best solution is to add a micro switch which triggers close to the clutch engagement point.

So you can't set the full throttle shift with out hooking up an extra micro swith?

I try this on my stock 04 rsx type s and I have the same problem.

Full throttle shift must have a switch or it will not work.

rsx has a dual switch pedal. launch control can use the fully depressed switch(neutral safety) , full throttle shift should be able to use the cruise control cut off switch should it not? i dont see why not. youd still have to wire it in , but why couldnt you use that spunkster?

You don't need separate switches. Only one switch is needed for both.
