For street driving, if you clutch in first and then brake, it won't blip the throttle - for those times when coasting to a stop.

I would have preferred to see a pigtail harness that would use the factory’s male and female conector with leads coming off so you don’t have to use wire taps which ends up adding corrosion for non insulated wires. And easy wire fatigue and breakage. Not a fan of how that setup was implemented

The problem is that the blip between 4 to 3 is much shorter than 3 to 2 lets say and also depend on where in the rev scal you are doing the blip. So constant value of bliping without understanding in Which gear we are, is not the best solution.
@club.alfagt
4 жыл бұрын
Yes this is correct. However, it is not a “problem” imo. The auto-blip is easily adjusted and gives you a large enough window to make most shifts smooth. I’ve had no issues going from 5th all the way down to 2nd
@markb1511

It's not "much shorter", it's almost negligible. If you have slightly longer duration than a gear requires, it just requires a slightly slower shift/clutch engagement. We're talking milliseconds here.

Exactly, this may increase the smootnes of downshifting a bit, but its never a rev match, its just a rev "near bringer".

Why not just rev match normally in this instance? If your other foot isn’t on the brake, why not just blip the throttle? This is designed to make shifts more accurate/precise/repeatable than a heel-toe downshift.

You can get there with some practice. Start at 30mph in 4th (assuming your car is geared similar to my golf r) and just clutch in, blip throttle and back to 3rd, no brakes. Just changing gears at the same speed. Then back to 4th, then back to 3rd. Do that at a couple different speeds in a couple different gearshift you’ll get the hang of it pretty quick. If the car lurches too much you’re not blipping hard/long enough, or doing it too hard/too long. In my car I literally put the pedal to the floor to rev match. Just one quick stab and then carefully but quickly release the clutch. Just make sure the gear your going into isn’t going to over rev the motor obviously. You can even practice at low low speeds in a parking lot between 1st and second gear at like 10 mph if you wanted

when you calibrate it depends on how much brake you apply. If you apply little brakes it will blip the clutch for you if you apply heavy brakes it blip the clutch depending on the initial calibration.

Do you have to recalibrate it depending on brake pressure? It seems to me that if you have it set up for light/moderate braking on the street you might need to change the duration when you go to the track and spend the day threshold braking at 99%, since the relative RPM difference between gears will not be the same. Any experience with that?
@club.alfagt
3 жыл бұрын
Yes absolutely Recalibrate isn’t the right word though, just adjust the settings to suit the environment I’ve taken it to the track and it’s marvelous but the duration (rpm) needs to be increased. Works seamlessly at the track at high rpms, since that’s what I was made for
