I didn't realize how photogenic brad was well done Tiger...

good luck at the track on sat mate. big bragging rights for the first manual into the 10s. (I dont think anyone has done it yet) would have loved to have seen you do it last weekend when I was down that would have been pretty cool to see.

Hey Spiko

Do you get that annoying lag between gear changes? Is there anything that can be done regarding tuning to reduce this problem (maybe setting a delay), or just smashing the gear lever as fast as possible?

Probably a dumb question but you have to ask!

It would be great to see your car run that 10, keep at it!

Cheers Alf.

Alf,

With some throttle control tuning, manual cars are able to be flat shifted without lifting the throttle..

d.

Agreed Danny,

However I will not be Flat shifting What I will be doing is not far off it however much less stressfull on the drivetrain..

What do you mean throttle control tuniing? This is a new concept for me.

Should fit a Liberty 5 speed to it :D

Just don't back off whilst your in gear, or else it drops out of gear!

The pcm has a number of RPM limits, and limiting techniques.

The factory limits have the throttle rpm limit set to 6000rpm, so as its approching 6000rpm, it starts closing. Most tuners disable this by setting it to say 7000rpm.

Then there's also cylinder drop, which depending on model is anywhere from 6150 to 6300rpm. When this limit is exceeded, it drops cylinders. This is also known as hard cut.

By strategically adjusting the Throttle limit, as well as the Hard limit, they can be setup so on a manual vehicle, you can keep the throttle mashed, even whilst changing gear, and the engine RPM will not buzz out of control whilst the clutch is depressed.

Its something I found without knowingly doing it.. One of the car's I tuned come back to me, and said "watch this vre, full flat shift" (yes, he was greek)

d.

will be there with video camera in hand to watch this epic event!!!!!

pity my car still has a broken gearbox, I would have lined you up spiro

I wish I wasnt in the middle of doing a number on mine at the moment id come especially to watch this. No matter what happens it'll be exciting.

What tune will you be running when you go down the track???

Danny, both the limits you are referring to are set to 7400rpm in my car LOL

Thanks Steve Plenty of time for me and you
