Launch control module
Figure 1: Wiring diagram
All wires to the Launch control module are marked in the following way:
Wire Description
12V 12V ignition ON power supply
GND Ground connection
CH1 IN Signal from ECU
CH1 OUT Signal to ignition module channel 1
CH2 IN Signal from ECU
CH2 OUT Signal to ignition module channel 2
CH3 IN Signal from ECU
CH3 OUT Signal to ignition module channel 3
CH4 IN Signal from ECU
CH4 OUT Signal to ignition module channel 4
Launch Connects to clutch switch Launch is activated when connected to ground
If the number of coils is less than 4, only the relevant channels are connected; for example, if two
coils are used (or one double coil) leave CH3 IN, CH3 OUT, CH4 IN, CH4 OUT not connected to
anything.
The Launch control is tuned using 3 knobs:
Miss - sets the number of missed sparks during rev limiter (allows unburned fuel to build up)
Delay - control ignition delay ( usually the larger - the more sound and flames you get )
RPM - set the rpm limit level
After the Launch control is wired, start the car and set the RPM setting to highest (max clockwise)
and delay and miss to minimum (counter-clockwise). Connect the Launch wire to ground to
activate rev-limiter and start turning the RPM knob to the left and rev the engine so you can see
when the rev limiter occurs. After this is set, proceed to tuning Delay and Miss settings. Be careful
when increasing the Delay setting, as it puts more stress on the engine and turbo, due to higher
pressures and temperatures.
Drive safely!
