ECU pulling power when applying brake+throttle
I know a lot of people pull the brake fuse in order to do a standstill burnout, but WHY does the ecu pull power when on the brake and the throttle at the same time?
The reason I am asking is because I talked to UpRev about the issue and want to be able to do a burnout without having to pull the fuse all the time. I am going to take my car there to see if they can make the ecu not pull the power when the brake and throttle are both engaged.
So, why does the ecu do this? Is it due to the electronic throttle control or something else? I need some direction to give to them because they have never been asked this question, insofacto, they have never tuned or flashed for this before. Thanks for any insight they you guys might have. I think it would be pretty cool if they could figure it out.

It does it because not many people under normal circumstances will be applying the brake and throttle at the same time, and just in case yo uscrew up it is trying to save your ***. If you want it that bad do line locks as suggested.

ECU does it so in case of emergency when you slam on the brake and so happens to hit the gas at the same time, it cuts down engine power so it'll save your ***.
Pretty useless in our cars considering the pedal designs. But damn, definitely need this function in the 06 VW Jetta, the pedals are just Ghey! Hit brake and gas with the same foot all the time and nearly rear ended someone too because of that.

Have they got ECU reflashing down to the point they can actually change the way the ECU operates?

someone on the boards makes a simple switch that you can turn off (essentially 'pulls' the brake fuse)...I made one and have the switch where the seat heater buttons would have been - easy way to do burn outs (and also provides stealth mode at night )

I did some test with a m35 rental and the best way to do a standing burn out it just pull the main conector off the ABS. This is under the Brake cover in the engine bay. The abs is seeing that you have the brake on and the rear wheels are spining. It "thinks" you have locked up the front and are sliding. SO it puts more flow to the rear brakes and clamps harder on the rear rotors and then no spin. But once you disco the brain on the ABS it does not know that your rears are spining and you can burn them until they blow if you wanted. This is because the normal braking you can over power with the throttle due to the front bias.

i know they have full control of over the TB, but as far as brake operation and gas same time? that i dont know.
are you thinking about something like the Hondata two stage drag setup?

It would be nice to be able to completely rewrite the software!

The yaw sensor is located under your elbow beneath the center console. The orange wire is 12v. Install a switch inline to that wire. Mount the switch.

I have this switch installed in my custom cubby, along with a few others...
Works great! Simple install, and you avoid all the fuss of fuse pulling, tail-light disabling, etc.

The end result is that the traction control system is completely disabled, while the ABS function is retained. Two indicator lights (mentioned above) are the only visual evidence.
PS: This isn't my invention. There are tons of threads about this on my350z
