The pops and bangs are a launch control limiter.

I've set the launch control to be on all the time, so whenever the speed is below 15km/h its limited to 4800rpm. Yes there is an enrichment for launch control, but the main cause of the bang is the ignition cut. I haven't actually used it to launch yet. i'm a bit worried about my driveshafts as it makes 10psi of boost sat on launch control.

hey sam,

did you have to do anything to the throwout arm on the comp clutch? did you out a washer under it or did you bleed it by removing the slave cylinder?

its the stuff in here im talking about if you havmt seen it? im just a bit concerned about the fitment.
http://civictype-r.co.uk/forum/viewtopi ... 3&t=221745 - worth a read if you havnt seen it. they may have fixed the problems now though

assume yours works well with a good pedal and selects all gears great?

just curious as i plan on fitting mine myself
cars looks great btw, cant wait to start fitting my turbo
thanks
