Flat Shift £225
We are able to remap the ECU on most manual transmission equipped models to provide a true flat - shift gear change feature ( aka power - shifting) .
This allows you to execute the fastest geachange physically possible by keeping your right foot fully depressed on the throttle pedal whilst you push and almost immediately release the clutch pedal as fast as possible / desired, whilst changing gear, all in one fluid movement. The throttle pedal stays fully depressed during this entire sequence, so the engine is disconnected from the drivetrain for far less time than a normal gearchange, thereby increasing acceleration times without increasing engine power.
Normally the above actions would lead to an unstable, "jerky" gearchange and accelerated wear on the clutch and driveline; however by clever control of the car's ignition and other systems during the fraction of a second it takes to change gear by flat - shifting, gearchanging is smooth as normal with no extra wear and tear whatsoever on the driveline/ gearbox.
This item is available seperately or in conjunction with a remap and / or other listed software upgrades, in which case the combined cost would be discounted.
Launch Control For Manual Transmission Models £210
Similar in principle to the renowned Racelogic system feature, allowing you to execute quicker standing starts, but controlled exclusively through the factory ECU without need for any other electronics or sensors.
With Launch Control you apply full throttle with the clutch depressed, but the engine holds at a pre set optimum rev point ( for example 4800 rpm on an E46 M3); you can then side step the clutch pedal as fast as you desire and the new programme will then feed power to the back wheels progressively so as to keep wheelspin at below 10%, generally considered to the optimum for the fastest possible take off.
This item is available seperately or in conjunction with a remap and / or other listed software upgrades, in which case the combined cost would be discounted.
Auto Sport Mode £195
For M car owners with "Sport" mode buttons, we can reprogramme the system so as to reverse the activation sequence....in other words the Sport feature is always "On" from the time you start the car until you decide to press the button and switch it off.
