just a thought....given the clutch slippage with 04 and delay valve, i am thinking you would be able to change (increase) the launch RPM for those that have done the mod and removed it

 

Is this a hard thing to do?

Whats with the F-ing website??

 

Like I said. there is no "sweet spot". launch rpm will vary with conditions.

 

Does anyone even read my posts? maybe this is why there are so many people who can't break 13's in the 1/4 mile with their S2000's. there is no set rpm to launch at. EVER. SOOO many things affect traction conditions.

tire temperature, track surface temperature, track makeup/composition, ambient temperature, ambient humidity, tire pressure, etc.

All these variables and some people seem to think that if you just go ahead and dump it at a set rpm you'll do good. and then people wonder why they can't break 13's? If you aren't getting AT LEAST a 2.1 60', then you are not getting a good launch.

anyone who is a GOOD DRIVER will tell you, there IS NO SET RPM TO LAUNCH AT. EVER. if they try to tell you that launching at 5500 or 6000rpm is the way to do it, then chances are they have never broken 13's themselves and are incorrect in their statement.

 

did someone say something?


j/k just giving you sh!t matt - you know you are our favorite street racing

 

it's ok. if i just imagine you saying it with your british accent, it's funnier.

 

if you want piles of broken expensive parts, follow advice posted by people who have removed the delay valve.

DO NOT REMOVE YOUR DELAY VALVE.

there, did you all hear me. this is a bandaid on your elbow, for a sore on your knee. this part works better than almost every other one ive seen. and i have an aftermarket designed one, that is adjustable delay on my drag car. leave it, stop being cheap and dumb, and put a stronger pressure plate in your car, that can actually shut. did you ever think honda was a step ahead of you, they designed this part stout, and it couples perfectly with a stage 2 or 3 pressure plate. you can sidestep the clutch, with slicks lets say, and the car will start to launch, you feel the slip, and then the clutch smoothly comes in, it is BAD ASS!.
pm 9Kfever, and ask him, he has seen my car launch.
i like how everyone on here, is smarter than engineers at honda, who have unlimited $ for R&D. cracks me up. this part is perfect in every aspect, DO NOT take it off. please. laters. dave

 

yeah, cos the 04 really has sooooooooooo much more torque than the <04 cars.
