W.O.T Box & 2-step launch control

[PhilW]

The box knows when youre at WOT, once the clutch pedal is touced it cuts the ignition for a pre-determined time (in my case currently 175ms), which gives you that amount of time to change gear, so if youre slower you will over-rev it and it probably wont go in.

They say to start at say 300ms and get quicker.

Jury is out whether it wrecks anything or not, im sure it does help syncros mesh but the extra straing of changing gear still on boost cant be helping anything. Plus some of the bangs from the exhaust, and we're not talking pop or small backfires this is a like a gun going off, cant be doing the turbo any good either.

ah right thanks for that response.

so all in all would you recommend it? Id probably only be using it for drag racing

You can turn it off at will though yeah?

Wouldn't be very good around town etc.

I can only see it being unburnt fuel...on boost changing is going to mean more fuel in the exhaust than normal.

 

[Daymo]

that sounds immense!!! when i get a cupra im definitely getting one of them you'd scare the **** out of anyone sat up your arse!

It only works at WOT so normal driving isnt affected, you can still change gear normal @ WOT as well.

[davidsonley1]

I run one, but i didnt install it. I dont do wires.

What compatible vehicle did you specify for your cupra or did you contact them for your vehicle request?

Thanks,

Sonley!

Think I need to look into more on how to set it up on the mk2's, need a clutch switch but will this box work on the old dizzy style ignition?

 

[ibiza_95]

yea it will dave, itll just gut the live feed to the ignition coil, in the same way that itd cut the live feed to the coil packs on the 20vt motor.

 

[SEATCOOBER]

any chance phil you can get a video up of it working gear changes and launch start?

 

[PhilW]

Yeah im sure i can get some vids together soon.

Nice one fella! Think I will be looking on how to mount the clutch switch now

 

[ibiza_95]

ill have a look tomorrow also, and see if theres something available from say a golf or what not

 

[CupraElliott]

I am guessing there specified for the Leon that's listed?

 

[davidsonley1]

I assumed that too but im not 100% sure. Can anyone clear this up please?

Sonley!

 

[ibiza_95]

with reference to fitting this to a mk2 ibiza and quite possibly a mk3, there is a space infront of the clutch pedal, that is the same as the brake pedal, and so you can use a brake light switch to activate the clutch control on the wot box

 

[PhilW]

mk3 has a clutch pedal switch so its all good.

cuprabaz got 13.6 @ 106mph using the wot shifting yesterday, more time to be had i reckon with quicker ignition cut time.
