I did it before and i found out that its completely useless, that not using the heel and toe the braking is more effective, maybe in a rwd car will be useful...
I know you're the one with a kickass car and racing and I'm not but there seems to be a problem here? Your actual brakes are what you brake with. The reason you rev match is to stabilize the car going into the gear you need. There's a very good reason professional drivers and even people like Tsuchiya rev match. It's even automated now.
if he got a lighter flywheel and forged internals its not really necessary, the rotating mass is so light u dont really need to heel toe.... altho id rather do it too
But its true, without heel-toe the braking is more constant and precise, leading to lower times, but a normal gearbox without rev matching definitelly have less life in raacing applications.
MikeEM1 you sir are a car nigga at heart I grew up on a Honda so Honda = my life Nissan = my brothers life We both love a good challenge On the track Especially when he is in his late model nsx and I'm in my late model civic
I don’t know why people are complaining so much I’m enjoying the content I mean yes the shifting is this and that but the car sounds good and it’s overall clean racing amongst the three keep doing what your doing man 🤙
I hate when people call every Honda “rice.” Honda’s can give a ton of performance for very little money. People complaining in the comments about the downshifting, but the whole build probably cost less than 20k. Parts are cheap and available and it’s not a big deal if something breaks. Great video :)
i loved my supercharged k24. it always sounded like it was going to blow up downshifting thou. so i went with a k20 and it feels like more of a road course engine to me. i have a shortblock k24z3 for sale if anyone needs one.
awesome driving! can you give a good advice for drive shafts on a k swap? im going to use a dc2 subframe steering rack and lca with hasport mounts on a euro k20a2 and i dont know what drive shafts to make that will not fail after track use. do you have any good advice for me what the strongest combination is with oem honda parts? i dont want to deal with shafts poping out of the gearbox or blown joints. i heard the best should be ep3 shafts with b-series outer joints? does this last on hard track abuse?
Im digging the lhd ek4 dash conversion is abyone else noticed this. You can tell cuz of the middle dash vent. Dont know why the usdm eks didnt come with one
Must be nice on how to do these swaps im just tryin to put a d16a8 into a 88 hatch so far ive had to convert it from dpfi to mpfi and back to obdo cause i didnt kniw better.
I think most people think heel and toe / rev matching is simple. It takes a lot of seat time and patience to correctly do it. People get their feelings hurt because the owner didn't rev match? ......Didn't know you built that car for him
Yes, but most of us try to help him, if he practices it and masters it, it will help a lot in lap times and in the future bc parts will last longer, that said he isn't a rookie, so I at least was expecting him to rev match
Most people think it is because it fucking is, it's not hard to blip the throttle! It literally doesn't take you any seat time, by the time you learn to drive a car you will know how to rev match. My fucking 16 year old has been driving for 2 weeks now and can rev match! It's a basic and necessary part of driving a manual car, which you clearly have never driven. Please just shut the fuck up.
@@NjoyMoney you dont rev match and your clutch disk wears out prematurely having to spin the engine to the current wheel speed and gear you're going for. Also less stress on the drivetrain as a proper rev match will help engage everything smoothly. $0.02
@@BP-fx3qc You are talking 2000rpm at most unless you are really slow at shifting down, clutches for the track are meant to handle way more than that. Rev matching to prevent wear was more important back in the day because gearboxes didnt have synchros. Lots of racers utilize the additional braking power from engine braking. Besides real racers powershift their car wich causes endlessly more wear than a non rev matched downshift could ever do.
You should secure your ecu better, I had a friend who had the same setup and when he went over a bump on the highway it got unplugged and he was left stranded in the middle of the road. Luckily he had enough momentum to pull to the shoulder.
