saw a youtube vid with a tC with a WOTbox??? is this just some kind of delay box to act like a 2 step or am I way off

 

what WOTbox video are you referring to? Could you please post the youtube video?

If you are talking about the Blitz thing that controls the throttle, then yes it does work and I think it works like a piggy back system. I don't really know. I'll look into it later when I actually have a computer in front of me and not a blackberry.

 

says its from N2MB racing???

 

pics or vid or it didnt happen???

this is pretty interesting.

here's how it works. Taken from the website

"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."

there was a thread on this thing over a month ago

 

^x2.
ibtl.

 

yeah that was on wiring though, I was wondering if anyone had used the delay as a 2step launch control system

 

yea.
go read the thread.
not just some of it, read all of it.
theres plenty of info both on the 2step and WOT shifting.

 

Did you even bother to look through the thread?

found on page 5 3rd post from the bottom of the page

 

yeah I looked through it I was looking for more personal experience at this point someone who has used it in race application not just launching on the street

 

dude.
its in the thread.
NVMyTc was the first to have it and use it.
he posted before and after times with the 2 step and WOT shifting.
diff setting for the 2 step etc.

its there.
READ.

or if you must, PM him and ask him.

 

took me like 30 seconds to find it. right in the middle on page 5.

ok that one I did miss

 

haha.

 

but if anyone else has the box and has more input I am really thinking about buying it

 

so the whole point of the WOTbox is to eliminate turbo lag correct? but after reading what this actually does, it seems to me that us n/a folks could reap the benefits as well. or did i miss something?

 

it basically keeps your RPM's from going up while your shifting.
if you were to keep the gas pedal to the floor while shifting without the box your RPM;s would shoot up until you hit the rev limiter (unless your extremely extremely fast)
the box prevents the RPMS from going up so that you can hold the gas to the floor an shift.


quoted straight from their website:

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."

When you WOT shift, your engine is still producing peak power through the shift. With the clutch released, the engine revs up. This increase in RPMs and the full output power of the engine makes it very difficult for the synchros in your transmission to engage. The result means that WOT shifting can be very difficult and potentially damaging to your transmission.

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

How does the WOT Box work?
The split second that you place your foot on the clutch pedal with the throttle all the way down, a signal is sent to the WOT Box that a shift has been initiated. When the module sees the signal from the clutch switch it will reduce engine power by cutting the ignition. The ignition control is a precise timed event that the user has complete control of. The box is capable of controlling ignition from 25 milliseconds to 700 milliseconds in 25 millisecond increments. With a range like that the wot box can even make Mr. Magoo look like a seasoned pro!

The drivers in our test cars describe using the WOT BOX as sitting in the car and going through the gearbox with the engine off!! All the drivers were amazed at how smooth the gearbox was. The transition from gear to gear is effortless and the boost gauge would barely show a blip between the shifts. We were able to test on an Evo8 with a laggy 60-1 turbo and managed to hold 30+ psi through every gear! Even on a stock turbo equipped Dodge SRT-4 we were able to knock 3 tenths off e.t. by simply hooking the box up. Our big turbo SRT-4 cars were able to drop up to 7 tenths off their E.T. with the WOT Box alone!


Will the WOT Box affect normal driving?

No. The WOT Box will only activate when you are WOT Shifting. Normal shifts will be ignored and continue to work just as you expect. You won't even know its there, until you make a WOT Shift!

What is 2-Step Launch Control?
2-Step Launch Control allows you to program a desired launch RPM, then if you press the clutch and subsequently floor the gas, the engine will rev up and the WOT Box will kick in to hold your desired RPM. It will cut fuel and spark to accomplish this. The turbo will also develop boost. you can use this feature at the track for a more consistent and more powerful launch in boost!
