posted this question a while ago....but....

coming from an Integra to the tsx (6speed) ive noticed some differences.


first gear is a lot faster but when shifting from 1st to 2nd the rpms drop a considerable amount. im not sure if its just my car or what but i dont think this is right. everyone always tells me that my cars pretty fast blablabla so im like umm it ain't that fast so i tel them to come for a ride and they change there mind after that. i dont see how and why it does this. my ls integra felt more powerful (after 1st) then my tsx. someone help me out. im wondering if its just the stock ECU and maybe its so restritcting or something. when is hondata coming out and would that possibly help. im lost.

 

Yes 2nd gear is a little too tall IMO. Hondata will probably be able to help out the transition from 1-2 by lowering the VTEC crossover to somewhere around 5000 rpm. Really there's not much that can be done unless you get different gears.

 

Can you briefly explain what is hondata?

and usually what is the price of hondata?

Thanks!

 

so there no way to fix this. shit im gun get a new tranny haha. it sucks cause i always pull away from people and then when i shift to 2nd they pull away.

Hondata is working on a reflash for the ECU and a replacement ECU called the K-Pro.

 

You've got to bury the tach in 1st and then let the clutch slip a little when switching to second.

 

but i double clutch in 1st

 

 

Double Clutch?????????????? Are we still doing that????

 

shit it works jus not on this car. i swear my old integra was faster.

 

Ooh boy...

 

i dun get it. nevamind your like 10-15 years older than me so its coo.

 

Blame all those folks that wanted good 0-60 times. With a closer 2nd you wouldn't be able to get to 60 in 2nd.

 

Don't double clutch. It sounds impressive to your friends but it doesn't give you any performance advantage. You won't be able to shift quick enough to keep the engine in the higher cam setting if you double clutch.

Just run 1st gear to 7300 and shift normally to second and you should still be above the VTEC engagement point.

 

Double clutching on upshifts (with the intention of going fast) is Teh Fast and Teh Furious garbage. Save it for double-downshifting and such.

 

 

well obivously it doesnt work on this car. my last car was an ls and i could hang wit gsr's so it does work. just not on this car. i think the wrx does the same thing just not as bad.

 

Same thing on your LS. Double clutching died with the invention of synchronizers.

 

What do you mean it "doesn't work"?

How does one gauge if double clutching "works" or not?

 

it doesnt pull. trust me ive tested it out. i ran my car without double clutching and then with and it does work.
but w/e please close the thread i already got my answer thanks

 

get a comptech S/C when it comes out

btw,
