rolling burnouts

is it possible to do one in a automatic?

can really dump the clutch? do u just rev in neutral then drop it into gear and left foot brake or start in gear, floor it, wait for spin then left foot brake?

reason i ask, goin to a drag strip in the year and need to warm tyres up and give a cool display

Speak to DamanC I remember him doing it once tyres didnt last long though,

I think you just put it in drive left foot on brake not pushing to hard and plant it hold it at about 4000rpm

I dont drive an auto but im pretty sure thats the basics mate.

o rite ok, just not sure how the box would hold. was simple in the manual non turbo

It is not good for the auto box at all, I would suggest you think about additional cooling of the box for this to extend its life at least

If you must do it, put it into drive, foot hard on the brake, then lift the revs until the rears start spinning. As you lift off the brake, give it some more gas.

However, as said already, this isn't good for the 'box. If you do it too many times, you'll overheat the fluid. Even on the first attempt, it is actually possible to blow the torque converter.

Never, ever rev it in neutral and dump it into gear when the revs are already high. If you don't break the gearbox, you may break something else in the drivetrain.

Don't do any of this at all if you aren't willing to accept the cost of repairing what might break.

hey ive got BPU supra which i rang at shakespeare a couple of weeks ago, i tried the whole rev it up then take ur foot off the brake thing but it sounded awful and im lucky the box didnt break...in the burnout patch just put ur boost up a tad and floor it in drive, im managed to do a nice burnout whilst moving, enough to look good and warm up my tyres.i won every race i did that day! ...i wouldnt do it too often tho...my cars been running like a sack of spuds ever since, so of the THOR it is.... i ho i ho its off to thor we go...

cheers 4 the replys guys! hairdryer it is to warm up then

If you are to do it get a transmission cooler !!, and dont to it to often

it sure is possible: http://www.bilgalleri.dk/html/vid_vis.asp?VideoID=4053

he's using a TH400 though

wow! thats hot! any one seen the rest of the vids on the right? some hunnys there lol

and then there is idiots like this hahaha!

get yourself a line lock kit

Thats funny!

Yup thats the best way, left foot braking puts a lot of stress on everything.

might be a silly question, does this apply to donuts? ie: dont do them in an auto?

I think donuts are ok in an auto.

If your doing left hand braking in an auto the temps will rocket up VERY quickly (a matter of seconds) so do your day with a couple of burnouts and then get a full flush afterwards.

So its only reving it high with the brake on thats a problem.

No, revving it full stop with the brake on increases heat massivly and will kill your gearbox....... on a positive note, if you kill your gearbox autobox's are cheap or you could go manual

going manual when you cant do the work yourself costs?

I can do rolling burnouts on my Motorbike, But i am a bit of a hero

I think hes using a line lock, as the brake lights arnt on

You mean like this ?

It's easy - you only need left foot to hold it 'til you break traction. Then you just mash the gas to keep it going, the faster you can make the wheels spin whilst not on the brake, the more you will stay still. To turn it into a rolling burnout (like I do to lay rubber down at the strip) just modulate the throttle 'til you feel yourself going forwards - the slower you then let the wheels rotate the faster you will end up going forwards. Eventually traction is regained and you will catapult forwards if still on the throttle.

This technique can be used to initiate donuts or to do some drifting.

Cheers,

EDIT TO ADD - I have a BL auto, PI hi-stall TC, 3x transmission coolers and 1x trans cooler fan. I've found the autos are quite easy to break with such abuse and have spent numerous hours on my back under my Supra with my old man changing busted autoboxes.

if you really want to launch hard these are the tools to do the job (some decent tyres and RLTC comes in handy to )

Oh, Maybe i'm not so much of a hero with an engine to help
