Perhaps with the extra boost and extra acceleration, the thing is revving out quicker and even higher. (assuming you are not bouncing the thing off rev limiters as a shift point.

So if you are normally changing gear at 6,500rpm in 2nd because acceleration is starting to trail off, but with more boost there may be a little more top end, so you rev the car that couple of hundred rpm harder.

Go for a drive down the street at 7psi and bounce the thing of the rev limiter, then do it again at 10psi...you will see that your road speeds are the same.

I am a mechanical engineer...

You aint no mechanical engineer, you explained that concept far too well to be a mech engineer... there werent even any typos or speling mistaks :rant:

I like your point, but were not talking about a 5 or 10 km/h difference, we're talking about a full 20km/h difference. I never hit rev limiter, only ever hit it once, i always shift at 6500... My Apexi computer even tells me that. So its not just a guess of when i actually shifted.

Oww and i dont shift at 6500 because im loosing power, im shifting at it because its peak power right there and its the best time to shift.

"more boost there may be a little more top end, so you rev the car that couple of hundred rpm harder." Yeh good point, but a couple extra hundred RPM wouldnt explain for a whole 20km/h. Dont worry, I'll be testing tomorrow.

/me awaits Sydneykid to tell me I'm wrong.../

Your WRONG Ronin, I have a son but he is neither long nor lost. :slap:

As for Jamesh3, I have seriously pissed my pants several times reading the drivel :bonk:

In a manual car there is a SOLID connection between the wheels and the engine. In the same gear it is impossible for the rpm of the wheels to change if the rpm of the engine doesn't. :flamer:

As for single, double or triple clutching on the up change being faster, I can not believe anyone is that stupid :headspin:

How long does it take you to;

lift off the throttle

push the clutch in

move the gear lever to neutral

push the clutch in

squeeze the throttle

lift off the throttle

then move the gear lever into the next gear

lift off the clutch

squeeze the throttle

If you are really good it's 0.15 of a second.

Compare that to;

lift throttle

move gear lever into the next gear

squeeze throttle

If you are average that's 0.02 of a second

In a 1/4 you make 3 gear changes, 1 to 2, 2 to 3 and 3 to 4. Using the double clutch method you spend 3 X 0.15 = 0.45 not accelerating. Compared to 0.02 X 3 = 0.06 not accelerating.

You just lost the drag by 0.4 second. :kick:

I can't believe I managed to type this without laughing my self sick. :throwup:

Wrong. Thats like truck double clutching. Not Racing double clutching... Doop!

Firstly Read post #27 & #24.

Lol mate, thats the other form of Double Clutching most people think when they hear that term. You are ignorant like many others,i dont blame you but perhaps you should read posts 27 & 24 about Double Clutching which you've probably never even heard of before then read another about "Popping" & "Fanning" which is the same thing... Once you have finally read the post and then know why double clutching is faster for turbo cars, you may be the once laughing at your self.

"I can not believe anyone is that stupid"

Ignorance is Bliss aint it! :flamed: hahah

You got that one pretty much spot on, well explained...  It's also called double clutching by people, it seems the term 'double clutching' has 2 different explanations and most people think the other.  From now on so theres no confusion i hope I'll be calling it "fanning" or "stepping" or "popping" hehehe.

NO, double clutching does not have two explanations!

NO, fanning, stepping or popping is not the same as double clutching!

Whoever these "most people" are, they are wrong and have misinformed you! this is cause most people dont know sh1it about cars.

How many reaplies does it take on here for you to believe what double clutching actually is??? just accept it: you are wrong, and so are most people

**this is a perfect example of someone thinking they know all about driving a car fast just cause they drive a fast car**

in simple terms, i've always thought of double clutching as a longer period between each gear change, hence, less accelerating. Why spend more time changing gears? doesn't make sense at all :confused: I think SydneyKid explained it very well.

When i see someone taking the Mines R34 GTR out for a spin, or any track battle of ANY turbo car, and see someone "double clutching" (as they have a cam view of the pedals) i will come back to this thread and say i'm wrong. But as long as the crazy nutcases in Japan are flying around in beasts of cars like the Mines R34 GTR, and shifting "normally" i will continue to think of "double cluthing" as something that belongs, and should stay in, the Fast and the Fubarb.

cheers :D

OH MY GOD!!!!

I DONT THINK THAT ANYONE HAS EVER TOLD SYDNEYKID THAT HE IS WRONG!!!

YOU KNOW WHY?

CAUSE HE IS NEVER WRONG!!! NO EXCEPTIONS!

Well I tell him he is wrong all day long.....

But online, this is not the first time... won't be the last, but might be the  funniest :headspin:  

dont you think its strange that you are the only odd one out here?

/me runs into corner and cries... shut down by Sydneykid  :D /

Can the REAL Son of Sydneykid please stand up.....

:wavey:

That's right, been here all along......

Don't diss la

:bs!:

guys i figured out why he gets higher speed with higher boost! :D

he's using tyres that expand when they heat up (some drag cars have this?). with the extra power he's getting, with the added excitement that he's gonna "double clutch" like in the movies, he performs his (incorrectly named) double clutching in each gear, he's spinning the wheels and getting another few cms diamater in the tyres with more heat than he could with the less power, therefore high speed in 2nd gear!!

(as for "granny shifting" claims, as if ur granny shifting ur not even really reaching full boost before changing, i dont see how he's getting 0-100 in 6s with that, man imagine the car when it hits full boost!!)

    • Increasing overlap will bring the torque down earlier (and make your idle sound sick lol). Worth a shot (if you dyno time) to experience a bit (providing you are confident your valves won't kiss your pistons). Is to just take off 5 degrees across the boosted area of the map, and then retard the exhaust cam let's say, 3 degrees at a time and then overlay all the runs with VCT on all the way and VCT off as soon as you make positive pressure. Ideally you would have a total of 6x overlays to looks at 0 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve 0 exhaust & VCT on all the way -5 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -5 exhaust & VCT on all the way -10 exhaust & VCT off once manifold pressure is +ve -10 exhaust & VCT on all the way Just leave your O2 wideband closed loop on for all of the boost area & RPM, and hopefully there isn't too much fuel correction needed and the Haltech is fast enough to compensate (I do this, then apply the correction to the main table). Getting that overlay data should give you a good indication of what to aim for.
    • So, my main limitation here is that the car does not have an oil pressure sensor by default, just a switch. As part of my tune I bought an oil pressure sensor upgrade so I now have access to oil pressure levels and logging rather than just the boolean behaviour of the switch but this means I need to use the tuning app to display this value. So, this rules out using any other app on the iPad. The app will also flash when pressure drops which is a nice feature. I have replaced the centre screen with an Android one, which is awesome for Android Auto, but I think it might be too far away and out of my line of sight. I might add some gauges to it this weekend and just see. I guess if its just temp and oil pressure I can make them massive! 🤣  
    • This is what the look like normally. Except we only got the 2 doors locally
    • Back pressure is not really a function of the exhaust itself, but the turbine/housing. So the question/point remains valid. I would be fitting an EMAP tapping point and seeing what is going on in the exhaust manifold before committing to throwing boost at it. Flow. No intercooler is actually rated for continuous operation at any power level wrt temperatures, as they are no actually capable of shifting the required amounts of heat on a continuous basis. They get hot during a pul, then dump some of that heat into the external air (and some back into the internal air) during off load moments/periods). You probaby do need a bigger core, given the power level you're already at is somewhat above the "rating" of the cooler. Put pressure tapping points either side of the core (which possibly you already have, if you have a boost source near the compressor outlet and tapping near the throttle for existing purposes) and report on delta P across the core.   I haven't done the mass flow calculation to see where you would be sitting on the compressor map at the ~450is rwkW level we're talking here, but if you look just at the PR you're running at, which is ~2.8-2.9, then you have a really really wide swath of the compressor map to run in, and so long as you were making between about 45-75 lb/min of flow, you should have really good comp efficiency, with the ideal being betweem 55 and 65. I can't see the need to shift drastically on the map to get better results.
    • Welcome 🙂 The ER34 wheels and slight lowering suit the R33 sedan really well. I'm firmly in the 'keep it stock, at least on the outside' camp.
