Got it, that's what I thought but I wanted to be sure.

I don't think that is totally accurate. You can set a delay from when you push the clutch in to when the blip occurs in milliseconds. I don't believe you can set how long the blip lasts. Also you can set to what rpm the blip goes to. If you're on a slow type of track you can have it make a blip to 3,000 rpm's say.
Or, if you're on a fast track, you can have it blip to 4500 rpm's. These are done by trial and error, as the dials are not marked with rpm or delay #'s...
At least mine wasn't 2 years ago. I removed the seat to install as I could not squirm in under the dash properly. I layed under the dash upside down. The clutch wire tap was a real b*tch!! the others were not so bad once you do the first one.

It has a delay and duration setting (the two rheostats), so what I mean is the duration can be longer or shorter based on how fast you shift. The device has no idea what "rpm" you are setting, it just blips some amount over your current rpm when activated when if I understand it right..

either way, I love mine, lol

This seems like a great idea for those that can't heel and toe....for whatever reason. But isn't the "static" blip setting a bit less than desirable for track use? Picturing driving on local tracks, some you go into a turn at a lower rpm....some higher. The car wants different things at different places on track....or better said, no track, trans, rear end, or rpm limit will require the same rpm to induce a smooth downshift going into every turn. With that in mind, do you, that have tried them, change your driving style so that the engine/tranny always wants that 3000 or 4500 rpm blip with every downshift? Do you have to play with the clutch release speed so that it matches? As an "aid", I can see it...as a performance improvement, I'm struggling. Struggling with an open mind however, so school me on this, please. I've seen conflicting posts, is it 3000 or, whatever you set it to, that it revs to or does it blip that much over the current rpm? Thanks for the clarification.

UrbanKnight

It blips over current rpm. And it only adds a coupe hundred rpm. So it's not unbalanced at all. Very very smooth actually

braknl8

Makes much more sense. Thanks for the clarification.

This is on my Xmas list. While I'm fairly decent at heel and toe, I have no problem leveraging technology to improve my track times. Since you have the option to run with or without the auto blip, seems to me to be the best of both worlds for not a whole lot of money. Looking forward to seeing how it works.

Dr.Ron

Correct, it blips some rpm over the current rpm...not to a specific rpm, but you can dial it in to a specific rpm that you want it to blip to by trial and error of turning the dial and observing on your tach where the rpm's of the blip go to.

Getting ready to finally install mine. Now I'm just thinking where the best place is to mount it. I was thinking of putting out of sight, perhaps glove box or center console. Thinking of the ash tray but then I would loose the cig lighter which I use for my charger.

CrvtBB

I initially tried installing in the ash tray with the intention of making it stealth with the cover closed. Used a dremel to carve the opening so the box would fit, but was unable to make it fit properly and still maintain the cover door functionality. You might have better luck, but I I think you'll need to do some pretty extensive fabricating if your desire is to maintain the ash tray cover. I ended up giving up on the ash tray and installed it in the console. Probably not the ideal location for accessing the adjustment *****, but presents a nice and clean install.

The unit works very well. Tweaked delay and duration adjustments to my driving style and downshifts are nice and smooth once you get the adjustments right. Have only been able to try it on the road, but will hopefully get a track day or two in this season to test it under more aggressive driving conditions. I found myself automatically defaulting to heel and toe on a few occasions (hard habit to break), which doesn't work too well when the system is doing its thing, so will have to train myself to let the unit do the work.

Overall an impressive little system.

Ordered one

I appreciate your input, I was contemplating whether to put in the center console due to heat. On track day I've put my phone in there and it would shut off due to heat. But I did put one of those aftermarket heat shields in there and it seems to works. Looking forward to using this unit, I've driven a C7 on the track and if you can eliminate one thing and focus more on other things it does help. Toe heel works great in a straight line for me but with most track now days there's 20 plus turns and downshifting in a straight line is never guaranteed. I've even put in a 6 point harness hoping it help keep me more stable and it does. But your feet still keep moving around Hope to see you on the track

UrbanKnight

I did the ash tray and retained the door for just that reason... There is a power plug in the center console that I use to power the hone and such...

CrvtBB

I didn't attempt to remove the lighter, but can see how you can make that work.

CrvtBB

I put heat shielding under the console and above the exhaust and the console doesn't get nearly as hot as it used to. Hopefully it will stay cool enough to not impact the unit.

This question has not been asked yet, but I use my OBDII port for my data acquisition system (Racelogic), and earlier post said the auto-blip also had this connection.

Is this correct? Can the auto-blip still be installed?

Thanks,

Flying24

Auto-Blip just taps into a number of wires it doesn't plug into the OBDII.
If go to the Web site they have the instruction.

NVR2L8

Yes, I saw the diagram. Thanks.

Flying24

I remember back awhile ago someone had posted their install where it was mounted in the center console. I've done a number of searches and haven't been able to chase it down. Has anyone seen these and if so I would appreciate the link to them.
