For some reason when I put the car in S gear the rpm took forever to kick down, main reason why I lost the roll race, should have left it in D, plus it was very hot that day, I was legitimately scared for the tranny when I saw ect was at 98c, I wish we had done more roll runs but times was up for us to use the track, nonetheless I'm very impressed, huge thanks to everyone who helped me with this build, @phearable @27won @PRL Motorsports etc ???? I wish honda had a launch system like Toyota, cause man my car is slow asf when I floor it from a dig

With the bigger turbo, your gonna be a little slower off the line. Plus, from a dig, it's better not to just mash it. You need to gradually for about .5 seconds, hit the gas, then mash it.

Really? Does gradually Mashing it makes the rmp goes up faster?

Nice job. I don't think the +R/Sport/Comfort modes were what caused the Type R to pull harder as time went on, as WOT is the same between all three modes. If you watch the first race, you only hear the the shift beep come on when he's shifting from 3rd to 4th. Obviously don't have cabin footage from later on to compare but it seems like he holds his gears a bit longer in the later races.

That the CVT "launches" so slow makes it even more impressive.

What Toyota Model with a CVT has a launch system?


Is there also footage from inside the car, dashcam or something?

He's talking about the CVT setup of latest gen Corolla.
The new powertrain unit features the world’s first launch gear in a passenger vehicle CVT, which facilitates improved transmission efficiency in lower gear ratios where belt efficiency is poor. The transmission system utilizes gear drive when starting from a full stop, resulting in powerful acceleration while at the same time resolving the momentary sluggish feeling that was previously present during accelerator operation. Both smooth and comfortable launch performance are realized. When switching from gear drive to belt drive, the transmission system uses highly responsive gear change control technologies cultivated from AT technology.

very nice! i imagine cvt just stays in boost since it doesnt have to shift like a manual and have to build it back up.
impressive to see kinda like the 10 speed accord sport 2.0t. thats a real sleeper.

Sometimes it do the fake shift and drop boost, it can be very bad Sometimes, for example in S gear a floor the car from rolling race and the rpm took forever to kick down and on top of that when the rpm finally went up it did the fake shift, but nonetheless impressive
