I launch my crx with b16 at 5k i tried preloading today it seems pretty cool.
SHould i dump the clutch instead when launching or will I hook faster preloading?
I just want to launch hard.

 

Preloading will help save your tranny.

 

preloadind is easier on drivetrain. i'd rather preload then break axels.

 

when i was NA, i used to pretty much ride it for a sec, then dump it.

but now that im turbo, preloading is so much greater, because i can start to make boost and save my driveline

as far as NA i dont see much use for it

 

How exactly do you preload?

 

^slip it so there is already some force trying to drive the car, this way there wont be a big shock of torque when you take off

 

Preload>Dump for sure. Nuff said

While in the pre stage, With the e-brake up (button pushed in/removed) Let the clutch out just enough to where it feels as if the car wants to pull forward. Set your Launch RPM. "Pump" the car forward by letting the E-brake up/down slightly until you're staged. When you feel it's go time let the e-brake down in the same motion the clutch is being released.

Thanks, im going to have to try that next time

 

put line locks on the back wheels and hook it to a button on your stearing wheel. have your 2 step hooked to the button too. let the clutch out 3/4 of the way and mash the gas. the just let the button go

Are line locks legal for all classes? sfwd/t4?

 

So is preload really necessary for N/A set up.
It seems that Turbo people like cause of the boost build for a N/A is really neccesary

It's necessary to save/extend life of drivetrain components.
