Please do get into more details on the auto blip down shifts -- like what hardware is specifically needed.

  • Auto-blip downshifts:
  • Typically used with Sequential Gearbox
  • Typical method uses a Strain Gauge Sensor on the gear lever (or micro-switch).
  • Above can also apply to paddle shifters
  • When the voltage is recognized by the ECU it uses this input to activate the calibrated throttle "blip" function
  • The throttle blip calibration is defined by amoutn of throttle change and for time duration in ms before resuming to standard mode
  • No-lift-shift
  • This is also typically used with a Sequential Gearbox
  • This also uses a Strain Gauge Sensor on the gear lever (or micro-switch)
  • Above can also apply to paddle shifters
  • When the voltage is recognized by the ECU it uses this input to activate the engine cut.
  • The No-Lift-Shift calibration is defined by the voltage range of the device and time duration in ms.
