TC shifting question
So I don't know when but I think there is now a problem with my no-lift **** feature. When you guys use it, do your RPMs shoot all the way up to the redline or does it stay in place? I coulda swore that they are supposed to stick at the point of ****.

You are supposed to shift right near or at redline using no-lift shift and you have to be really quick doing the shift.
I believe you only have .2 secs. the point of NLS is to hold boost between shifts. You should only hear one pop from the exhaust. Any more than that and you have to shift it faster.

SUp guys,
Yo, NLS I got it down pretty good but only from 2, 3, 4. FOr some reason I can never get it for 1to 2. I'm watching the RPM's when I do it, doesn't NLS kick in when you hit 5250 rpm's. By the way, last night when I went out with my crew(Team FullBoost). SPanked a Mustang GT from a dig, Jetta GLI MK5, Nissan 350Z, and some Crossfire. Thank you NLS!

Directly from the owners manual:
No-Lift Upshift (SS Models)
If the vehicle has the 2.0L turbo engine and manual
transmission, it has the capability of No-Lift Upshifts.
This feature maximizes vehicle acceleration by allowing
you to shift the transmission to a higher gear without
taking your foot off the accelerator. No-Lift Upshifting
is enabled in all Electronic Stability Control modes.
See Electronic Stability Control (ESC) on page 4-7 for
more information. Use this feature only when the engine
has reached normal operating temperature. Correct
shifting allows the engine to maintain boost pressure
during shifts, while also keeping the engine from
over-revving.
To utilize this feature:
1. Accelerate the vehicle by fully depressing the
accelerator pedal.
2. Just prior to reaching the maximum engine speed,
quickly complete the upshift utilizing the clutch
while keeping the accelerator pedal fully applied.
A quicker shift maneuver gives the best
performance. If the engine is operated at the
maximum engine speed for greater than one
second, the engine exits the No-Lift Upshift mode
and resumes normal engine overspeed protection.

That you!
As stated above 1 sec. .2 would be REALLY hard by a kick ass driver.
You are supposed to shift right near or at redline using no-lift shift and you have to be really quick doing the shift.
I believe you only have .2 secs. the point of NLS is to hold boost between shifts. You should only hear one pop from the exhaust. Any more than that and you have to shift it faster.

I think I have done it without it in "Comp. Mode", but that was with the TC off, so that helps.
I also think I have done it with the TC on, and I think I shifted a little before the redline that time, but it sure BOGGED, before getting back into it in second gear...

I did it all day yesterday at the track. You can shift it at 6000 rpms and it will hold there as you shift. I know cause I saw me do it. It didn't just jump to the rev limiter and bounce like you think it will. UNLESS I am just that bad ass at shifting.
