Flat shifting anf 2 Step is here!!

Moderators,Please do not move this thread to the marketplace for the following reasons:
A) this is a product release thread that is most useful for the F/I guys with Turbo's vehicles

B)Only premier members can view the marketplace and that is not fair that if this is moved there, those are the only members that will know about this unit.


C) this is NOT, I repeat NOT a specific sale thread, this is a product release thread to the FI community, that will show testing and results as we gather information.



Exclusively available at MRC Motorsports we are proud to introduce you to the WOT BOX!!This will allow the user to flat shift the 350Z and save on expensive drivleine components

The unit will cut the power to the ignition coils when the vehicle is Wide Open Throttle and each time the clutch is depressed.

Video of it in action on my car:



Videos of 2 step:





Thanks to Jay@N2MB for hooking this unit up!! It hooks up in a matter of 15 minutes tapping off only 3 wires.
The ignition coil power, the clutch swithc and the TPS switch, thats IT!!

The WOT shifting will cut ignition from 25ms up to 700ms, all set by the end user by simply holding the buttot on the unit down till the blue LED starts flashing, each flash is 25MS incriments...
I am telling you guys, this unit will lower drag racing ET's!!!



What is WOT?

WOT stands for Wide Open Throttle.
What is the WOT Box?

The WOT Box is an electronic device that makes WOT shifting easy by reducing your engine's power for a very short timed period while you shift. It allows the synchros in your transmission to mesh easily, reducing the chance of missing a gear and damaging your transmission. If the input shaft on a manual transmission is not allowed to slow down enough it will lock you out of gear time after time. We have developed a solution to the problem by controlling the ignition at the shift point to ease the transition from one gear to another.
What is WOT Shifting?

WOT shifting is a common practice used by drag racers regardless of if they are running turbo, supercharger or naturally aspirated. WOT shifting is accomplished by holding the gas pedal to the floor and never "lifting" off the gas during the shift. The problem with doing so is when you depress the clutch engine RPMs flare up and a brief amount of time is required for the transmission input shaft to slow down. Even the most successful drivers have been known to miss a gear occasionally. It requires complete concentration and lightning quick reactions in order to pull it off.
"Keep the pedal to the metal, blip the clutch, and grab the next gear. Do it fast enough before the redline, and your reward will be a zero lag, constant boost shift."

How does the WOT Box make WOT Shifting easy?


Our WOT Box momentarily disrupts the engine power long enough for you to make an effortless, fast WOT shift. The result?
  • Lower ETs - One of our big turbo customer cars dropped their E.T. in the quarter mile from 12.0 to 11.3 seconds just by adding the WOT Box!
  • Reduced chance of missing a gear
  • More consistent, effortless shifts
  • Reduced wear on the transmission
  • Reduced chance of major transmission damage

Yup, does not activate until you meet both conditions, Wide Open Throttle, and Clutch pedal depressed.. For the 2 step, the car needs to be stopped, with the clutch depressed and the gas pedal floored.

2 conditions usually not met during daily driving, usually only track use.

If you do a normal shift, the WOT Box will not activate. If you do a WOT Shift, it will.

The 2-step does not require the car to be stopped to engage. You can 2-step from a roll. I don't know why you would, but you can...

Picked up the car today. Haven't had a chance to try it out yet as the clutch is brand new, waiting to break it in and get used to the new clutch engagement.

Very nice, the only downfall is if you are turbo'd using a 2 step will cause much more heat and stress on the turbo resulting in a shorter turbo life. Ive ran 2-step setups on many cars in the past. Usually for rally cars and drags, since it allows the turbo to remain in boost. Great product but i wouldn't recommend it for people who DD their TT car and plan on never taking their foot of the gas

People who use a 2 step know this and usually dont care.
