Due to the daiganal split braking system in the teg, the only way I see of doing it is too put a loc at each wheel. If there is a way to run one line loc for both front wheels, please let me know.

Thanks.

 

the line lock goes on the rear wheels dude

It doesnt have too. Id still have the same issue wether it be front or rear.

 

If you do the line lock on the front wheels and it doesn't disengage quick enough you will probably break parts, like axles.

That is a possibilty, but thats what testing is for.

Guess Ill just have to set it up and see how it does.

BTW, I figured out how I can run a single solinoid to loc both brakes.

how?

 

Maybe I'm missing something here, but why bother with a line lock on the front wheels? Wouldn't it be simpler (and possibly more effective) to put two solenoids at each rear corner?

 

How do you plan on doing a burn out and staging with your front wheels locked? Do you have a rear wheel drive car?

yea, what he said.

 

Whatever your reasons are to want the FRONT wheels to have a line-lock on them are wrong, and it's a REALLY BAD idea. Trust me.
You can run a single line-lock to the rear wheels by using tees on the brake lines, or just pull the e-brake handle. The e-brake makes a good staging brake too, if you just remove the ratchet mech.

 

Burn outs would be done using the ebrake.

The loc does not get activated utill already staged.

The idea to loc the front wheels was so I dont have to have my right foot holding the brake and gas while I am loading the clutch for launch. I have tried the ebrake method and it just doesnt work for me.


Just simply telling me I am wrong for doing this doesnt help me. Have you done it and bad things have happened? Examples?

No it is not a RWD, if you look at my sig its an Integra.

 

Wow. Ouch. Good luck with that. Sounds like it's going to be an expensive lesson for you.

Well, I wanted the brake system setup a certain way to make doing this easier and I am being told many different things(should work, wont work) that I will probably use your suggestion of T-ing the loc into the rear lines.


That still doesnt change that I want to know WHY running it on the front lines would be such a BAD idea.

Just try it and let us know the outcome

What kind of clutch do you run?

 

dont line lock drive wheels its very dangerous

...yea, now im curious. go for it and keep us informed.

 

Think about what you are trying to do. If you want to use a line loc for staging run it to the back wheels or get a staging brake. How in the hell are you going to line lock your front wheels and then let the clutch out to stage your car without burning up your clutch? How is that going to preload the drve train when you are locking your front wheels? It is not pulling the back and putting the load on the entire drivetrain. But what the hell do I know.

 

wow....sounds like alot of work right before you launch.....especially if you're running pro light. stage, tap the brake, press the button, rev the motor, preload the clutch, and all this while the other guy is playing the staging game with you! lol

Multitasking.

The more multi-tasking you have to do, the greater the chance of something going wrong though.

I dont care if you can do all that plus chow down a hot dog while launching, if you screw up once it can get real expensive real quick. Not to mention embarassing</TD></TR></TABLE>

It was a joke.

The thing is, you still need to do all those tasks whether the lock is on the front or rear, unless of course you plan on just dragging the rear tires as you stage.

that would definatly be worth some r&d....... it would make preloading alot easier

 

just put a couple wheel chalks in front of the front wheels......it will hold you in place and then once you release the clutch you can use the chalks as little launch ramps. then you will have a FWD car that pops wheelies.....it doenst really get more awesome

 

thats how you do it with a linelock hook line lock & 2 step on the same switch
drag rear tires it works !!!!

A line lock should only be use on the back wheels of a FWD car. When you stage you will activate the line lock so that the rear wheels will keep you from moving so you can load the clutch at the start line. The e-brake works good but there is always that chance that if you don't hold the button down as you drop the e-brake then you'll be going down the track with the e-brakes on, unless you remove the bottom then you don't have to worry about that. To hook one up you need to buy a line lock like the one I bought from summit. this is the one I bought http://store.summitracing.com/...w=sku . It has two inlets and two outlets but it doesn't show it in the pic just call summit and ask them about it. You remove the brake rear brake lines from the proportioning valve and rout them to the line lock. Then you have to make two more brake lines to go from the proportioning valve to the line lock. Run one of the wire to a push button that you can hold until you'll ready to go. And the other wire is just a ground. It's not to hard but still a little work. You can also mount the line lock in the rear and just modify then rear brake lines so you don't have to mess with the proportioning valve in the front. If you have ? just PM me.
