So I have been wanting to try it for awhile... I have been babying the car "don't know why"

on the way home I decide it's time to give no lift shift a try, now... I think I did it?

I'm not exactly sure because what it sounds like from most people is the car should make two pops while shifting... mine didn't make a sound.....

 

it wont pop all the time, mine did at first but now it usually doesnt. It worked though right? you made it to the next gear, didnt lose much boost? or did the cel come on, power cut and you yelled at yourself for missing it?

 

When you've been driving a manual all your life, and you've ingrained it into your brain that you must lift, it's a bit nerve wracking to try.

You don't have much time to get it to work right. You need to be above 6k, and you may or may not hear a pop. Probably more evident if you're catless with an aftermarket exhaust. On the stock setup, I don't always hear it pop. The best way to know is to datalog, and just concentrate on driving. If your log shows that boost dropped, you know it didn't work. If it stayed, you did it correctly.

 

I know it worked... it was amazing, I just thought it was suppose to pop..

That little feature that they put in is amazing, the car just keeps pulling...

Kind of funny... everyday on the way home from work at the last intersection it's usually empty all ways.. so I always just turn of traction control and nail it.. speed limit is 80kph.. I always stop accelerating once I get to the first little hill "so I don't go overboard with speed/ get a ticket"

When I get to that spot everyday it's been around 95-105kph... today with the no lift shift I managed to get to 130 at the same SPOT.. and man can you feel the difference!

 

you get the stage 1 kit yet? it is nice at 21psi darn thing just breaks loose.

 

"yay more torque steer"

No stage kit yet....well I would figure it would be nice at 21 psi.. the most I have ever gotten is 14psi lol

in the winter time a max of like 8

 

Here's a quick nls vid

hmm interesting... on the slow shift it popped twice... on the fast one it barley wanted to do one..

fyi: I was shifting faster than that :p my speedo didn't slow down at all :P

 

whats your boost limited too in first gear????

 

I was on stock mode on the trifecta tune.

Tuned mode there is full boost

It pops everytime when you're catless and no muffler haha

 

pops everytime your stock too.


Weird you must shift differenly than me or something, my rpms dont sag like that.

 

anyone nls in competition mode and have the ECS kick on? damn ****. I should just hold the tc button and turn them both off for my nls'ing runs.

 

i love the pop it sounds like fire is coming out gagaga

 

i've got full bolt-ons not stock lol

I said I was in stock mode of my selectable tune I won't ever nls tuned

 

How did you get the vid while driving?

 

It looks like he had his camera mounted on his steering wheel

 

I've got a way of holding the steering wheel and Iphone at the same time

 

i tried it once and my clutch slipped like no other so i don't try it anymore

 

I NLS every gear in my HHR when I drive hard, but its a little easier on the clutch since we have 4.05 gears instead of 3.82s I guess. My clutch works great except when I tried running a .035 pill from 2k(my own fault since that will spike 30psi).

I NLS every gear in my HHR SS. I guess it's a little easier on the clutch since we have 4.05 final gears vs your 3.82s. The only time my clutch ever slipped was when I punched it from 2k in 3rd with the .035 pill which will spike 30psi. Thats my own fault though. I am tuned by BYT also, still NLS all the time, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th. I don't go fast enough to try shifting to 5th under WOT.

 

And why is that just curious.....I my self have never got the courage to nls it freaks me out personally

 

Man.. I felt the same way as you.... but you have to do it!

Makes you love the car so much more.... no loss in boost!

 

Yeah I'm up for trying it out i just hope it doesnt get too addicting lol im just wondering why would it be bad to do it while tuned cause im planning on jumping on some bolt on's and a tune asap.

 

Not fully sure? Can't see there being that much difference between a very very fast shift and shifting fast with nls... modded or not

 

Don't be crying when your transmission grenades

 

Using simple logic here, you force how many more lbs or tq at a tranny , engine spinning how many rpm's and you don't think you will skin those gears like a fat chick would a chicken bone.

you have had to have stood on the stupid line when born.
