Is it okay to change gear (D/S/L) while pressing the accelerator? How about the steermatic?

QUOTE(Fasap @ Oct 26 2007, 02:45 PM) U be careful dude.. i only try the 'stop-go' boost when the road is clear (i.e no imminent traffic ahead). the CT WILL REALLY accelerate very fast if you use the method i told b4. Be safe ok! Really? Hmm.. That urges me to try it even more! try it out at laaate night after u come back frm mapley  Mapley?  Btw, mine is idsi, not vtec, same effect? |

QUOTE(Fasap @ Oct 26 2007, 05:25 PM) Go ahead dude, Try.. Hmm, yeah it'll be hard to keep an eye on both but for the 1st time b4 you get used to the technique, better do it on empty roads ok? safety first  really shiioookk wooo! But better practice 1st, coz quite hard to prcisely release the 7speed at 5.5K RPM as you hv to keep youre eye on the road and also your meter at the same time...  soo sorry, wrong words.. mapley = mamak stall lorr.. Mine is of idsi wooorr...  i think the vtec accel a bit slower coz the i-dsi engine has max torque at low RPM (2.7K RPM?).. so it accelerates a little faster, but lacks top speed like the vtec.... when the vtec hits 100++km/h youre in another dimension  Hmm.. I always see ppl post v-tec kicks in at high rpm, what does the kicks in mean? A sudden power increase? |

Whew! I just tried the steermatic, that was fun
Tried Fasap's take-off technique, that was fast  Btw, I don't really understand now.. S and L is for lower gears? Couldn't drive real smooth with steermatic, not used to it, but imma play more. |

QUOTE(Fasap @ Oct 27 2007, 12:25 AM) Heh.. told you so.. nice rite? you feel a slight boost when you revert to s-mode.. Ah.. I see.. Last time I thought that S mode would only go to the first two gears whereas L mode uses the first gear only Use wisely.. S-mode is quoted as the 'sports' mode as it lets the engine rev higher before each transmission variance. In other words, your engine boost more power for each change in the transmission compared to D-mode.. In the CT manual, its called the 'second' gear L-mode is the low-gear mode, forgot the characteristics thou, but this also lets the engine rev higher (?).. mostly used to climb steep slopes/hill/mountain roads where std gears arent revving enough.. its not designed for speed but to deliver maximum torque and power for climbing..  So S mode is still capable to go up to like the 5th gear and so right? Whenever I activate steermatic I'll feel a slight jerk, is it normal? Oh and, if I activate steermatic, but I don't shift (as in, keep it auto, not manual), any difference with the steermatic off? |

QUOTE(babyk @ Oct 27 2007, 12:19 PM) the difference in L and S mode is: Ah, I see.. So after 1st and 2nd for L, and 3rd and 4th for S, the gear change would be at normal RPM? and basically L is for uphill and S for..acceleration? when you are in L mode, your 1st and 2nd gear will go higher RPM, should change gear at 4000-4500rpm instead of in D Mode it will change gear around 2200rpm when you are in S mode, your 3rd and 4th gear will go higher RPM, should change gear at 4000-4500rpm instead of in D Mode it will change gear around 2200rpm  |

QUOTE(Fasap @ Oct 28 2007, 01:16 AM) L mode, caters for very low gears, i.e 1->2.. you cant go speeding with L. Ah I see. How about the difference between 7-speed in D and 7-speed in S? I found out that the gear 1 changes to gear 2 at 4k+ RPM while in D and steermatic set to manual, whereas S can use your method of take off (5.5k). Also, any difference between D/S steermatic deactivated and D/S steermatic activated on auto?On the other hand, the S-mode is like D-mode, you get the full blow, and not just 3rd and 4th gears only, its only that in s-mode, RPMs that are developed are way higher 4K++. Yes, you get a jerk when you turn on the 7spd, its due to the CVT--->ECU switching the car to go for higher RPMs. When you feel the jerk, you can see your RPM meter go way up faster to >3K RPMs D-mode RPM: 1.5K-2.7K - Best for smooth engine load and good FC S-mode RPM: 4K - 4.5K - Best for burst of power, greater engine load, higher FC 7speed RPM: 3K - 4.5K - Best of both, adequately high RPM (3K+) for good spd, and not so bad FC Thanks  Added on October 28, 2007, 10:56 amOh and, I don't really need to downshift unless I want the acceleration, right? I notice that the gear downshifts by itself even on manual according to the speed. This post has been edited by Crazy.SoT.Gila: Oct 28 2007, 10:56 AM |
