LNC-2000 description:

Sometimes referred to as a 2-step or launch controller, the LNC-2000 adjustable RPM limiter and timing retard controller can be used to provide consistent launch RPM off the line in drag racing and other standing start racing applications. In turbocharged applications the LNC-2000 can also be used to retard the timing in order to build more boost at the line.

The LNC-2000 can also be used as an adjustable individual cylinder RPM limiter, providing reliable and fast acting spark based engine RPM limit control. This is especially useful in vehicles that have auxiliary fuel control systems where it is not possible to make sure that both the factory ECM/PCM and the auxiliary systems both turn off fuel at exactly the same time. If the two don’t completely cut fuel at the same time you will run lean when the one system cuts off the injectors (but not the other), risking severe engine damage.

The Timing Retard capabilities of the LNC-2000 can be used to retard timing by up to 15 degrees. For nitrous oxide applications the timing retard can be activated using the dedicated timing retard activation input to the

LNC-2000. This dedicated timing retard activation input can be activated using clutch or accelerator pedal position via a micro switch or the Lingenfelter CTAP-001 clutch and throttle activation position switch (PN:

L460190108). The LNC-2000’s timing retard activation input can also be activated via a +12v activation signal from a nitrous controller, such as the Lingenfelter NCC-001 or NCC-002. In turbocharged and supercharged engines the amount of retard can be controlled by the boost level using the 3 bar MAP sensor input. The

LNC-2000 can also be used to retard the timing at the line to build boost in turbocharged vehicle applications

(with or without the launch control RPM active). The Timing Retard function can be used by itself or while the

Launch Control RPM limit function is active.

Please note - although launch controllers like the LNC-2000 are often referred to as 2-step controllers, they are not true 2-step controllers. A true 2-step controller, such as the LNC-003, has a high and a low RPM limit function with a switch of some type enabling one setting or the other. The LNC-2000 only has one

RPM limit setting so if you are using the LNC-2000 as a launch control RPM limiter, you will need to use the factory ECM/PCM as the engine maximum RPM limiter (engine speed governor).

WARNINGS:

The RPM limiter function of the LNC-2000 acts by disabling spark to individual cylinders and not fuel like most production RPM limiters so the 2-Step/Launch Control function is not meant for use on the street or for use on cars equipped with catalytic converters. The 2-Step/Launch Control function of the

LNC-2000 is only for use at the race track on race vehicles not equipped with catalysts. Failure to follow these precautions can result in premature catalyst failure.

DO NOT operate the engine with the LNC-2000 RPM limit active for extended periods of time. Due to the raw fuel in the exhaust when the RPM limit is active, a risk of backfiring exists if you do so.

DO NOT place in direct exposure to exhaust manifolds, turbocharger turbine housings or other underhood items that are high temperature heat sources (radiated heat sources). The warranty does not cover damage due to melted enclosures or wiring due to improper installation.

Do NOT submerge Controller in liquid or directly wash unit with liquid of any type! The switches on the

LNC-2000 are sealed but are NOT rated for high pressure wash, use caution if power washing near the

LNC-2000 controller

Installation:

• Make sure the ignition is off before beginning installation.

• You can mount the LNC-2000 using the supplied hook and loop tape or the supplied self tapping screws.

• Do NOT mount the LNC-2000 directly on top of the engine or near the exhaust manifolds due to heat concerns.

• Do NOT mount the LNC-2000 in the line of site of high temperature objects such as exhaust manifolds, turbine housings etc. If needed, put a heat shield in between the heat source and the module to protect the plastic case and the wiring.

• Do NOT install within 6” of nitrous solenoids or other devices with strong magnetic fields.

• If you have relocated coil packs, do not run the high voltage spark plug wires alongside the low voltage coil pack wires. Keep the wires as far apart as possible and, if they do have to intersect, have them intersect at right angles.

• Disconnect the pack connectors on each side of the engine and then plug the LNC-2000 wiring harnesses in between on each side. It does not matter which bank of cylinders each side of the LNC-2000 harness connects to.

• The only wiring that is required is for the trigger wire(s) depending on how you want to enable the device. See pages 12 to 28 for specific wiring diagrams. While we have tried to cover most configurations, many different possible wiring methods exist, too many for us to list them all. Check some of the GM, LS1, Corvette,

GTO and other forums for discussions on other wiring methods.

The possible 2-step trigger/activation connection methods are:

• ground activation wire (green) - connect this wire to a source that supplies a ground path when you want the LNC-2000 to become active

• +12 volt activation wire (yellow) - connect this wire to a source that supplies +12 volts when you want the LNC-2000 to become active (i.e. brake light switch, line-lock solenoid)

• switch connected in between the ground activation wire and the +12 volt activation wire (green wire connected to yellow wire through a switch, usually a momentary switch)

• ground activation wire connected to +12 volt activation wire (green connected to yellow) for standard RPM limiter operation (LNC-2000 always active)

• Set the desired RPM switch activation point using the two ten position rotary switches for the 1000

RPM increment (x1000) and the 100 RPM increment (x100).

Page 5 of 31

• If you are using the timing retard feature, do one of the following:

• Connect a +12 vdc trigger wire from a +12 vdc output source (such as the Nitrous WOT switch signal or a output signal from a nitrous controller) to the orange Retard Activation wire on the

LNC-2000. This will allow the +12V retard activation signal to force the retard to the maximum retard setting on the LNC-2000.

• Connect the LNC-2000 MAP sensor input to the MAP sensor. This allows for the timing retard to be based on the boost seen by the MAP sensor.

• Install the optional female connector (PN: L480320000) to the analog out signal from another control device (nitrous controller, traction control module, etc...). Connect the female connector to the linear signal connector from the LNC-2000. This allows for the timing retard ramp to be controlled by an external control device when the LNC-2000 is in Linear Mode.

Launch Control/2-Step Features

The independent coil drive of the LNC-2000 provides sequential ignition kill when RPM limiting is active. The desired RPM limiting is set as shown on page 4. The activation for the

Launch Control/2-Step function is controlled by the ground (green) or +12 volt (yellow) activation wires.

If you are triggering off of the clutch switch, the 2-step will trigger each time you depress the clutch pedal. This can be used to provide an ignition cut/torque cut on each gear change to potentially allow for faster shifts/faster clutch engagement.

If you do not want the 2-step to trigger when you engage the clutch pedal once you are moving then you will need to install a momentary switch or use the Lingenfelter MPH activated switch (STOV-004).

With the MPH activated switch you can set at what MPH you want the 2-Step activation to be disabled.

Refer to pages 13 to 17 for wiring diagrams that demonstrates how the STOV-004 should be connected to the LNC-2000.

Timing Retard Features

Up to 15 degrees of timing retard can be applied. The amount of retard is adjusted with the Max Retard dial and the retard rate is adjusted with the Rate dial. The timing retard function can be triggered three ways:

• Retard activation wire - orange wire to be connected to a 12 volt DC activation trigger switch

• MAP sensor input connection - to be connected to a GM 3 bar MAP sensor

• MAP sensor input connection - to be connected to a nitrous controller, traction control module, or other external devices.

For either trigger method, ignition retard is only active when the engine RPM is above 1,000 RPM.

MAP sensor based retard is only active if a MAP sensor is connected to the MAP sensor input. The

LNC-2000 checks for this by checking if a voltage signal is present on the purple signal wire on power

up. If the orange wire is connected (and powered by a +12 volt source) while a MAP sensor is also connected then the timing retard will go to the maximum retard value set with the Max Retard dial.

The Retard may be activated while the RPM Limiter is active.

Time based retard mode

The retard Rate setting controls how quickly the controller goes to the amount of timing retard set with the Max Retard switch. For example, if you have the Max Retard switch set to 10 degrees and you have the Rate switch set to 1 second, after 0.5 seconds you will have 5 degrees of retard and it will take one second to build up to the full 10 degrees of retard.

Boost retard mode

When using the MAP sensor input, the Rate setting controls how many degrees of retard per pound

(psi) of boost and the Max Retard setting controls the maximum number of degrees retard to allow.

For example, if you have the controller set to 10 degrees with the Max Retard switch (position A) and the Rate switch set to 3 degrees per pound of boost (position E), then at 1 psi of boost you would have

3 degrees of retard, at 2 psi of boost you would have 6 degrees of retard, at 3 psi you would have 9 degrees of retard but at 4 psi you would only have 10 degrees of retard because you have the maximum setting with the Max Retard switch set to 10.

When using boost based timing retard the orange retard activation input wire will force the retard to the maximum retard level setting on the Max Retard switch no matter what the boost level is. This allows you to use the orange trigger wire to retard timing at the line in order to build boost and then still use the boost based timing retard as you go down the track.

Timing retard notes:

• When the LNC-2000 is powered up with no MAP sensor installed it will default to Time Based

Retard mode.

• When the LNC-2000 is powered up with a MAP sensor installed it will switch to Boost Retard mode. The sensor signal MUST be present on power up for the LNC-2000 to enter this mode. The

“Max Retard” dial will still set the Maximum amount of retard allowed. The “Rate” dial will control the degrees of retard applied for each psi of boost applied to the MAP Sensor.

Timing retard analog input (Linear Mode)

The timing retard analog input mode (linear mode) is a new feature for the LNC line of products.

Linear mode allows the user to input a voltage which will correspond to the amount of timing retard that will be activated. This input voltage can be provided by many different external devices, including nitrous controllers (such as the LPE NCC-002 nitrous controller) or via custom wiring configurations.

The LNC-2000’s linear mode recognizes voltage ranges of 0.2-4.8 volts. At 0.2 volts and below the timing retard is set to 0 degrees while at 4.8 volts the LNC is at full timing retard of 15 degrees. The maximum retard setting still dictates the maximum amount of timing that can be taken out; however, it does not change the scaling of the linear mode. For example, if you want to retard the timing 8 degrees maximum, you would need to set the Max Retard dial to “8”. It would take 2.65 volts of input in order to reach 8 degrees of timing retard. Any voltage past that point will not cause the LNC to further retard the timing since the maximum set value is 8 degrees. Linear mode on the LNC-2000 is activated by setting the “Rate” dial to setting “F”. The linear (purple) signal wire is the voltage input wire and should be connected to a voltage output source. The linear (black) ground wire should be hooked up to a vehicle ground source. These wires are part of the MAP sensor electrical connector. When the

Rate switch is in the “F” position, the LNC enters linear mode regardless of whether the MAP sensor is connected or not. When you activate the orange +12V Retard Activation wire it will override linear mode and go into Max Retard mode. There are 3.26 degrees of timing retard per volt.

Degree Voltage

Timing retard analog output

The LNC-2000 provides an analog voltage output that indicates the amount of timing retard that is being applied. The gray analog output wire provides a linear 0 to 3 volt DC output with 0 volts indicating 0 degrees of timing retard and 3 volts indicating 15 degrees of timing retard. This voltage value can be logged with EFILive, HPTuners, DashDAQ or other devices to allow you to determine how much timing you really had while going down the track.

Note - because the LNC-2000 modifies the ignition timing after the PCM or

ECM, the factory computer is not aware of the changed timing so it will not display the modified timing value in a scan tool.

For example, at 6000 rpm you have 400 firing events per second so each event is 0.0025 seconds apart. If you had the maximum retard of 15 degrees activated and then disabled the timing retard, it would take 0.0375 seconds to return to 0 retard (full timing). At 1500 rpm you have 100 firing events per second so each event is 0.01 seconds apart and it would take 0.15 seconds to return to full timing if you were at 15 degrees of timing retard.

Note about manual transmission clutch switch/position sensor on GM vehicles:

• On manual transmission vehicle applications please note that most GM vehicles have two switches on the clutch pedal. One is the cruise control disable switch at the top of the travel and the other is the neutral safety/starter enable clutch switch at the bottom of the travel. In testing LPE has found that the upper clutch switch (cruise control switch) has erratic output and causes improper operation of the LNC. For this reason, the lower clutch switch is the switch that should be used to trigger the

LNC. The problem, however, is that the lower clutch switch is powered by a circuit that is only energized while the vehicle is cranking. For the LNC to work with the lower clutch switch, a relay must be added before the switch in order for the switch to be powered while the vehicle is running.

Refer to the clutch switch wiring diagram on page 12 for instructions on how to modify the circuit correctly. Another alternative is to mount a separate microswitch to the pedal assembly and activate from that. LPE offers a microswitch kit, PN L480330000.

• On many newer vehicles GM has replaced the two clutch position switches with a single clutch pedal position (CPP) sensor with an analog 0-5 volt output that provides the ECM with clutch pedal position information over the entire pedal travel. This sensor is similar to a throttle position sensor except that the output of this sensor is from high to low. Because it is not a switched (ON/OFF) type output, the CPP sensor can’t be used to trigger the LNC or a relay directly. LPE has developed the

CTAP-001 module (PN L460190108) that can read the CPP sensor and provides a user adjustable switched output based on the clutch pedal position. Vehicles with the CPP sensor include the

2008-2016 Corvette, 2010-2016 Camaro and 2009-2015 CTS-V.

Nitrous, line-lock, trans-brake and other solenoid usage warning:

LPE has found that these solenoids can cause fly-back voltage levels at times in excess of 600 volts.

These voltage levels have the potential to damage sensitive electronics including the LNC-2000, the

PCM/ECM and other modules in the vehicle. LPE has developed a transient voltage suppression

(TVS) diode kit (PN L450080000) for use with line-lock solenoids, trans-brake solenoids and other aftermarket automotive solenoids of this type. The TVS diode is a special kind of diode used to suppress voltage spikes. LPE recommends the use of our TVS diode on all vehicles that have a line lock or transbrake. This kit comes with three TVS diodes, enough for most common installations. If you have a vehicle with multiple solenoids we recommend obtaining additional TVS diodes for those solenoids.

Install the TVS diode across the solenoid wires as close to the solenoid as possible. Polarity does not matter (Red and Black wires can go to either solenoid wire). If there is no accessible ground terminal to connect the diode to, such as the case with a trans-brake solenoid, the diode should be connected to the nearest ground source. In the case of the diode for the trans-brake solenoid, the diode should be connected to the transmission case as it will provide a ground path.

LPE recommends using TVS diodes on:

• Nitrous solenoids

• Nitrous purge solenoids

• Fuel solenoids

• Line-lock solenoids

• Trans-brake solenoids

Example wiring diagrams:

The following pages show examples of how the LNC-2000 can be wired in different vehicle applications.

There are also examples of how to connect the LNC-2000 to several popular nitrous controllers, as well as the

Davis Technologies traction control modules. Many other possible installation methods exist.

WARNING: Splicing the Clutch Pedal Position (CPP) Switch signal wire is required for vehicles that are equipped with a Clutch Pedal Position Switch. For vehicles equipped with a Clutch Pedal Position Sensor,

DO NOT CUT the signal wire. Vehicles equipped with CPP sensors include 2008-2016 Corvettes, 2009-2015

Cadillac CTS-V and 2010-2016 Camaros.

Diagram with the STOV-004 and LNC-2000 Modules

In this configuration, the STOV-004 is being used to only allow a 2-step controller to be active at the line. Once the vehicle is moving, the STOV-004 switches the relay, disabling the 2-step controller. Set the MPH switch point to a speed below your first gear shift point.

1 - Locate the CPP (Clutch Pedal Position) Switch and unplug the 2-wire connector.

2 - Cut wires appox. 3" back from connector.

3 - Find +12 volt Key On power source and connect to one wire of the CPP connector.

4 - Splice two wires onto the remaining CPP connector wire and connect one wire to #85 on the Relay. The extra wire will be used for LNC-2000 Launch Controller activation.

5 - Connect terminal #86 on the Relay to Ground.

6 - Connect wires cut from CPP Switch connector to Terminals #30 and #87 as shown.

7 - Set the STOV-004 MPH switch point to a speed just below your first shift point.

Progressive Nitrous Timing Retard

To allow a nitrous or other controller to control the amount of timing retard:

• Set the LNC-2000 to Linear Mode (F on the Rate dial)

• Set the maximum desired timing retard with the Max Retard Setting on the LNC-2000

• Connect the analog output from your controller to the LNC MAP/Linear Input harness connector (using the universal WeatherPak connector kit, PN L480320000)

• This allows the nitrous or other external controller to control the amount of timing retard while still allowing the LNC-2000 to limit the timing retard to the user set Max Retard setting.

NOTE:

The three pin connector on the TMS adapter will not connect to the 3 bar MAP sensor connector on the

There are a couple solutions:

- LPE sells a keyless connector kit to replace the stock connector on the TMS adapter (PN: L480320000).

- Remove the terminals from the connector on the TMS

MAP adapter, drill out the keys in the connector, and then reinstall the terminals into the connector.

- Change the connector on the LNC-2000 to the mating connector for the TMS MAP adapter (part # 12015793)

-Set the LNC-2000 to Linear Mode (”F” on Timing Rate setting)

-Set the traction control module for the desired timing retard ramp.

-Set the Max Retard setting on the

LNC-2000.

-While the traction control module will create the timing retard ramp, the

LNC-2000 will still control the maximum timing retard.

Vehicle applications:

The LNC-2000 is designed for use on all known GM LS series engine applications (LS1, LS6, LS2,

LS7, LS3, LQ4, L76, L92 and other Gen III and IV GM V8 applications along with other GM V8 engines using the same ignition coil system) including the following vehicles:

• 1997-2004 C5 Corvette

• 2005-2013 C6 Corvette (including Z06)

• 1998-2002 LS1 V8 equipped Camaro and Firebird

• 2004-2006 Pontiac GTO

• 2008-2009 Pontiac G8 with the L76 or the LS3 engine

• 2004-2007 Cadillac CTS-V

• 1999-2013 GM CK trucks (Tahoe, Yukon, Escalade, H2, Sierra, Silverado, Avalanche) with the 4.8, 5.3, 6.0 and

6.2L Gen III and IV V8 engines (will not work on 305 & 350 Vortec engines)

• 2003-2006 Chevrolet SSR

• 2006-2009 Trailblazer SS and other S/T body trucks with the 4.8, 5.3 and 6.0L Gen III & IV GM V8 engines

• CK trucks with 8.1L V8 engines (L19) with individual coil ignitions

• 2010-2015 Camaro SS

• front wheel drive 5.3L LS4 Gen IV V8 equipped cars (Impala SS, Grand Prix & Monte Carlo)

The LNC-2000 should also function with these products but has not yet been tested with them:

• aftermarket coils for the LS series engines (such as the MSD coils) used with GM ECM/PCM.

• aftermarket engine management systems and ignition systems (Accel, BigStuff3, Motec, FAST, MSD, etc.) that run the production GM coils.

NOTE - for the 2009-2013 ZR1 Corvette (LS9 engine),the 2009-2015 Cadillac CTS-V (LSA engine) and the 2012-2015 ZL1 Camaro (LSA engine) along with the GMPP LS9 and LSA crate engines we recommend that you use the LNC-2001. The LNC-2001 has the same features as the LNC-2000 but it is designed specifically for the LSA and LS9 coil pack connectors.

The LNC-2000 will NOT work with other individual coil ignition systems like those found on the GM

Northstar or Ecotec engines or on the Ford modular V8 and the Chrylser Hemi V8.

When contacting LPE please have the following information available:

1. Year, make and model of the vehicle

2. Description of when the problem is occurring

3. Overall behavior of the vehicle

4. Any aftermarket electrical products installed (coils, spark plug wires, spark plugs, etc.)

5. How you have it wired/activated

6. The settings on your LNC (RPM, Max Retard, Rate)

Page 29 of 31

Troubleshooting:

• Intermittent misfire or other erratic vehicle operation.

• Have someone monitor the LED’s on the LNC and note what they are doing when the problem occurs. Try changing the RPM settings on the LNC. Does the problem still occur and, if so, at the same RPM?

• Disconnect the activation input and retest (leaving the LNC connected to the coil packs)

• Does the problem still occur?

• If no, the problem is likely coming from the activation input.

• Check for an erratic activation signal or electrical noise on the activation input. Are you using a microswitch or momentary switch? Bypass this device to confirm that it isn’t giving you erratic activation signals. Are you using a mechanical relay in a high vibration/acceleration environment? If so, try switching to a solid state relay.

• If yes, disconnect the LNC from the vehicle completely and test again.

• If the problem still occurs, it is not related to the LNC.

• If the problem goes away, re-install the LNC and test the following:

• Re-route the LNC wiring harness away from the spark plug wires and/or ignition coils.

• Make sure the wires are not run in parallel with electrical wiring including fuel injector harness wires or nitrous solenoid wires.

• Mount the LNC in a different location.

• If you are using aftermarket spark plug wires, try changing back to the stock spark plug wires or a different brand of spark plug wires. Make sure you are using noise suppression spark plug wires.

• If you are using aftermarket/non OEM spark plugs, confirm that they are really a resistor type plug.

• No power LED on LNC/no vehicle start up

• Try disconnecting everything and plugging it all back in - you may have corroded or loose connections. Inspect all connectors and wires for damage and wear.

• LNC is active all of the time

• Have someone check the LED’s to see what they do when the LNC activates.

• Make sure that the LNC ground activation wire is not connected to an “always on” ground.

This connection is not a module ground but an activation ground.

• Make sure you don’t have the yellow and green activation wires connected to each other - this will cause the LNC to always be active.

• Timing retard not working

• NOTE - the timing retard will NOT show up on a scan tool as the ECM or PCM is not aware of the timing retard.

• Make sure engine RPM is greater than 1000 RPM (timing retard is not active below 1000

RPM)

• Check what the LED’s on the LNC are doing when the timing retard should become active

• Check your timing with a timing light with the retard active and not active

• Check what the LNC thinks the amount of timing retard is using a volt meter on the gray analog out wire. Does it agree with your settings?

IMPORTANT:

The three pin connector on the TMS will not connect to the 3 bar MAP sensor connector on the LNC because they are keyed differently.

The black and green wires on the TMS or the purple and black wires on the LNC also need to be swapped so that the black wire on the TMS goes to the black wire on the LNC and the green wire on the TMS goes to the purple wire on the LNC.

Do not connect the red +5 Volt wire from the LNC to the TMS.

There are a couple solutions:

- LPE sells a keyless connector kit to replace the stock connector on the TMS

(PN: L480320000).

- Remove the terminals from the connector on the TMS, drill out the keys in the connector, and then reinstall the terminals into the connector.

- Change the connector on the LNC-2000 to the mating connector for the TMS (Part

# 12015793)
