2024 Integra Type S

Intro

Unlike many other performance vehicles, the Type R doesn’t offer a factory launch control system. In it’s place the car offers a stationary rev limiter of 3500rpm. This can help to regulate engine speed making a basic launch possible, however it uses the throttle to control RPM, leading to a low maount of airflow and little to no boost pressure. The lack of boost pressure and thus available torque from the engine can lead to a sluggish start.

COBB Custom Launch Control for Honda Civic Type R is a comprehensive system allowing multiple benefits. The first feature is a multi-part system that includes dynamic engine speed limiting and load targeting, allowing you to regulate and optimize wheel slip for a better launch. The system can even remain active through multiple gears in order to prevent excess wheel spin in traction limited vehicle speeds. The second function is a limiter that uses ignition and/or fuel cut instead of a throttle closure to build and maintain a target boost level allowing you to have a more aggressive launch with more power immediately available.

Dynamic Load Targeting

...

In order to optimize how effective the rpm limiting can be and reduce the amount of time reducing torque through ignition timing, there is also a dynamic Load Target that allows you to adjust the load target during launch control. Similar to the Rev Limit the Load Target is adjusted based on wheel speed, allowing you to optimize the wheel slip. Unlike the rpm limit, it utilises engine speed as the x-axis allowing you to adjust the target load% over a range of the engine’s performance to hit and maintain your target during the launch.

• Coolant Temperature Min/Max: Sets a temperature range where launch control can be activated to prevent it from being done with the engine is still warming up or is too hot

• Engine Oil Temperature Min/Max: Sets a temperature range where launch control can be activated to prevent it from being done with the engine is still warming up or is too hot

• Exhaust Gas Temperature Max: Requires the exhaust gas temperature to be lower than this value in order to operate launch control. Makes sure the turbo/catalytic converter etc. don’t overheat (danger to manifold)

• Launch Control Time Out: Limits the duration of how long the car can sit in space with launch control active

• Steering Wheel Angle Max: Requires your steering wheel to be within X degrees of centered when using launch control. Helps make sure the car doesn’t activate launch control in an unstable manner.
