Is 2 Stepping bad for your car? U have to have a rev limiter in order to two step? i just seen alot of videos of supra's two stepping and was just wondering if that is actually bad for your car even if u have a rev limiter??

 

are you talking about heel-toe.... where you use the heel of your foot to raise the rpm's while braking in order to raise the revs & downshift while braking?

or are you talking about shifting without lifting off the gas?

 

I'm sure there talking about building boost on a manual car off the line. It bounces between 2 rpm settings to let the turbo spool up as you leave off the line

 

i'm not a big fan of two stepping, yeah the videos are cool, but if I am building boost right off the line unless my car hooks up right away I will just be burning rubber.

Also you have to consider the size of your turbo, MSD has a two step kit.

 

this is what i mean....something about it i just find sexy is doing this bad for ur car?

but....
yeah is shifting w/o letting off the gas no good?

i get what you guys are saying though...

 

No it shouldn't be bad cus there is a limiter. But if u do it for a while, u flood ur motor wit gas since ur not moving at all. People mostly use it to launch (build boost) off the line. My bros turbo accord for ex. Inline 4 turbo on 8-9 lbs = 270+whp. At the drags ran I believe 14.8 w/o slicks and 2 step launched at red line @ zero psi off the line. Then he got 2 step and slicks.. Ran a 13.2 with slicks and 2 step @ 3-5 psi of boost out the hole. if ur into drag racing 2 step is the way to go.



Shifting without letting off the gas is called power shifting. The 2 step is just a launch control

 

2-step is only useful for manual trans turbo cars that go drag racing...

 

ohhh ok ok but this isnt bad for ur engine as long as u dont sit there and over do it that is....? i just wouldnt want to damage my engine internally....and honestly i just want to use it for the way it sounds boom boom pow that pop pop is like a warning like back the F*** off b 4 u get burnt i wanna throw flame tooo!!! i want my IS 2 be like this....

 

you need some kind of ecu that will allow you to antilag. i had dsmlink in my eclipse gsx and i could launch the car at 20 psi

 

allow me to antilag? would AEM's ECU work? dsmlink whats that like an ECU? that guy didnt really launch though i mean he kinda did but he was rollin and then when he shifted POWW that **** is hot as F*** i like that.....as long as it isnt damaging to the cars health id do it.....can u still do that with a supercharger not a turbo???

 

If you do not understand what a 2 step is for (which it does not sound at all like you do), do yourself a favor and do not do it.

There is a higher purpose for it than ricing out your car and thinking it just sounds cool.

 

Yeah i understand it somewhat....i just like to ask questions and gather more information im sorry that agictates* you somewhat which is very obvious if your not going to say anything positive or share information dont be a F***in punk and post on my thread talkin to me like a jerk off y dont u do urself a favor and keep ur mouth shut and go harass someone else im tired of ppl like you having a problem with ppl asking questions i aint gonna sit back and let ppls like you talk down to me no more so u can apologize or not say nothing which would probably be best btw a Lexus isnt a Honda so dont say ricing u sound like a kid...
