Quick Shifting vs. Powershifting

[AndyUTI045]

Yeah, You're Synchros are probably fucked. unless you have dog teeth in the acura.

[91DAintegraB20]

Nice the powershifting sounded really smooth incar love the k20!

[22rsx]

that how you drive a rsx! quick shifting was good!

[pkev715]

lol pulling on it hard enough ? relax LOL

[321juanc]

Vtec?! I thought i was looking at Mustang video's!

[RiceRocketKev]

To everyone complaining about power shifting, grab some Kleenex and cry me a river. You're only going to "fuck up your transmission" if your doing it wrong. So shut it and move on.

[HamadHHAG]

why do you take off your right foot off the gas when shifting?

[HenrykCzypionka]

@HamadHHAG because you are supposed to

[HamadHHAG]

@HenrykCzypionka you don't get

i say try to not take it off the pedals to get better chirps and faster launching

[michaelAKAgod]

@HamadHHAG because when you press the clutch you disconnect the gears from the drivetrain and it will just start running hard for no reason. It wears your engine quicker and wastes a lot of gas. Powershifting is dumb

[HamadHHAG]

@michaelAKAgod it work will with nissan and toyota pickups because they don't disconnect the drivetrain

[michaelAKAgod]

@HamadHHAG Any manual transmission, when you press the clutch it disconnects the motor and transmission. Otherwise its not a manual. Not one professional or sponsored driver I've heard of power shifts, Because it will fuck up your engine.

[jakecooperification]

dont you just love the sound of v-tec :D

[sleeperblacking]

this guy is good sucks he has a slow ass car

[pragmadev]

You're doing it wrong. Also - you don't have to break your fucking shift knob every time you switch gears. Take it easy, fast but easy. Don't abuse the car.

[KissMyAssX87]

VTEC!!!!

[TheTongMan]

excellent video. thanks.

[XenomorphLV426]

Do you ever see professional driver power shift? Like the Stig? No, because it's not needed, unless you want to fuck up your trans.

[weegkwiet]

@XenomorphLV426

True. Or your clutch!

[plefrancois]

@XenomorphLV426 I already talked about that point earlier, but again it seems like I'll have to repeat myself. These techniques come in handy when racing IN A STRAIGHT LINE, because you will reduce shifting time (or time spent not accelerating). The Stig is faster than everyone because he knows exactly how to take each corner at the right speed, right angle, etc. Drag racing and circuit racing are two totally different things.

[DriftStreet88]

@plefrancois i am impressed by your lightning shifting ability. do you have any tips for me? its helpful in my discipline of motorsports, drift. thank you

[Lax1996chris]

your shifting way to late man, ull wreck the cogs in your car, each time you shift your car shouldnt jerk

[J90lude]

Either or can be faster. It's up to the driver.

[minecraftt97]

if you want to drag race....what to do? powershift or quick shift

[wab123ism]

I powershifted for the first time yesterday!! In my friend's VW Polo 1.6 2003. The car was very fast out of the gear changes even spinned if I change gears. I've done quick shifting + powershiting with his car and for me powershift is cooler :) and also there to drive faster! If you start doing it do from 1st to 2nd then 3rd to 4th gear. I was lucky do get it right from 2nd to 3rd. Just try it but if your're new don't shift at the first time at just the redline maybe 1000RPM before. enjoy!

[junior04srt]

my opinion of the 2 shifts is powershifting seems to be more for turbo cars so you can keep the boost

[jaykmvang]

0:21 VTEC JUST KICKED IN YO!

[kingkongb3]

Vtec jus kicked in yo!

[djay102687]

powershifting to me is good for turbocharged cars mainly because when you shift you stay at full boost the whole time.

[djay102687]

@djay102687 at the same time quick shift I would do alot more to keep my shit from fucking up, powershifting I would only use at for "Special" occasions.

[ProSkiSnow]

a lot of noise for small speed

[Brendon00000]

in this case quick shifting is easier on the parts, power hifting will eventually screw your clutch

[stampede122]

which one is easier on the clutch?

[MacBoznyII]

@stampede122 Powershifting'll kill it quicker'n beating with a sledge hammer.

[nccrawford]

Even though you don't know about cars, you must know this makes you like a douche!

[REWej8]

@nccrawford why? because he knows how to drive?

[nccrawford]

@REWej8 He obviously doesn't. Good drivers don't drive like this fool.

[ctophu]

look at the acceleration on that thing in the first shot!

[Sarstan]

Geez guys, shut up about my post already. I get it. You're whiny bitches who think you're Vin Diesel by having a poor hand position on the wheel. You've also got some filthy mouths and can't spell either. Makes you look damned stupid along with your idiot 12 o'clock hand position.

[VR46champion]

sorry I dont get it.. every manual shifting should perform the "lift right foot between shifting" right? But the difference I saw is that the sound of the shifting is faster..

[davidbenke]

Just drive normal Honda is a very nice car ;)

[Imakeplanesboom]

Bet it still runs 15 sec quarters.

[heykosal]

Nice car, I miss my DC5 :(

[WhiteRSCamaro]

what exactly does VTEC do?

[heykosal]

@WhiteRSCamaro Google is your friend.

[Imakeplanesboom]

@WhiteRSCamaro Nothing!

[aulvalenzuela21]

@WhiteRSCamaro opens up the remainig valves in the cylinder head, giving you full power .. baically.. lol id suggest reasearching it

[thefunnymone23]

@aulvalenzuela21 All 4 valves open up weather vtec is engaged or not. vtec is a lobe on the camshaft that allows the valves to be open longer. This lets in more air and lets out more exhaust which is what you need for more power.

[aulvalenzuela21]

@thefunnymone23 cool. thanks for correcting me man

[haxxxxxify]

Hmmm is there a point to power shifting? Like, if you are about to race a car that is faster than yours... you think power shifting is going to make you win? lol. You know you can still win a race shifting normally?

[MaddDogg81]

This must be in Canada. I lvoe RSX's and have a turbo RSX-S myself

[11miksti]

last shift in the dc5 wasn't very fast sir...OH what you refer to power shifting I know as flat foot shifts. and when I flat foot it's much faster than just shiftn fast. somethin one tenth a sec or so. still they count

[TheSchmiders]

powershifting= Burning out your clutch twice as fast with no CLEARLY NOTICEABLE acceleration change as opposed to just being a good shifter.

[bazu91]

Oh thank god! this is the first vido ehere power shifting is done good!

[tyson051990]

Sweet shifting

[jet62095]

Just sounds so damn good. Love the way my K20A2 sounds...

[caulk04]

So what? I shift my 97 Terd Ranger like this all the time...and it's got about 3 times the hand travel.

[triggadigga]

quick shift all the time , power shift only in straight line not round a corner

I always change gear like this my gear boxes never break

[OffbeatMarkie84]

Sounds quite sweet!

[joselikescars]

when you powershift it kind of sounds like an automatic car

[gigybeast]

I have a brand new audi A3 and I fried the clutch doing shit like this within the first 8000 miles, after a very hefty bill I decided to just drive a bit more normal

[IRMA1RDEZ]

poor tranny!

[420SuRReal]

at 1:05, when you shift, is that the gears grinding?

[Bizzylizzy9000]

@420SuRReal no he didnt grind.. thats him powershifting

[BUZONQ]

its either fry the clutch or blow the gear box, your decision

[pidzej]

if i were passenger and saw the driver to shift by this way, i swear i would kick out his head from the window:-D such a destroying of transmission...impossible really

[Terbojeezus]

>4rth

[killjoysxe]

man what are you thinking? letting go of the wheel to shift? that kind of wreckless carelessness will get you killed.... im jk obviously

[gunzplayer55]

VTEC FTW!

[Brettdude13]

seems as if whenever i make a bad remark about power shifting, people get mad. must be an american thing.

[VWVR666]

VTEC!!!!!!!>!!?!?!!>!?>!!L<

[yungburrgariansmker]

So what's better/faster?? Power shifting or Quick shifting?

[plefrancois]

@yungburrgariansmker According to some people I know, powershifting gives a better acceleration, but on my experience,if both are done equally fast, there isn't any noticeable difference. And powershifting might put more stress on the transmission, even though I haven't got any problem with both techniques.

[shukiikuhs]

@plefrancois Well, it depends. On high HP cars, the torque (power) will be transmitted all through the shift. On a normal quick shift, there is no power going to the wheels during the shift.

Example, on my brothers C6, if you quickshift all it does is chirp (3rd) or wheel hop (2nd), but if you powershift it, it'll put power through, and by the time the shift is actually done, you're sitting 1,000 rpms higher than a normal shift.

Mine wont do it. Selling it to buy a GT500 Muahaha

[zohan007]

@plefrancois powershifting will wear your clutch out faster and will probly wear out your synchros faster too

[TakeaLongLook]

@plefrancois You speed shift as fast as i do and i notice the same thing there is no difference if done correctly the speed shift will save your clutch too

[MacBoznyII]

@plefrancois Powershifting kills your clutch. But you probably already knew that.

[Visions2Be]

@plefrancois damn bro looks like you have a good clutch in their. Your ride pulls hard

[Whitemagic123]

@yungburrgariansmker I agree, I think Powershifting and quick shifting are about the same on Quickness. BUT only on a naturally aspirated car. On a Turbocharged car, It would be better to power shift, This is due to the Throttle body Butterfly staying open and allowing maximum air into the manifold and into your motor! Great video!

[3l1t355]

@yungburrgariansmker your talking mayber tenths of a second here and in most cases power shifting is harder on a transmission

[M3MN0CH6]

@yungburrgariansmker powershifting if your trans handle it

[eugenew23]

Loved the VTEC kick.

[cartmankk2]

VTEC just kicked in yo!

[jessejzRsx]

RSX FTW!!!

[yamenad]

Sounds like 2 fast 2 furious :P

[BushidopeMMXI]

you're frying your shit up man.

[Sarstan]

Kids and how they think they're racers or something.

Why don't you put that left hand at 10 o' clock so you have some control of the car?

You should also learn how to install a new clutch and transmission. You're going to need it at this rate.

[plefrancois]

@Sarstan See description.

[ERIC933G]

@plefrancois people like him think they know it all they dont bother to look in the description

[Sarstan]

@plefrancois

I rarely drive two hands, stick or not. It not about driving one handed. it's about placing your hand at the top of the wheel (12 o' clock) that's the problem. You have very little control and force behind any movement from that position. No where near as much as 10.

And fair enough about the tranny. Just keep in mind you're showing a bunch of kids how to grind those teeth down. Maybe you know better, but your 'students' don't.

[gunscarsandgames]

@Sarstan stop whining like a fucking bitch, just because you dont have your own car doesnt meant you gotta go bitch to other people about how they want to drive

[P2therelude]

@Sarstan Alright Satan, lets get less butt hurt,

[CannabisSativa713]

@Sarstan he puts his hand at 12 o'clock because he thinks hes black

[4444johnnyboy4444]

@Sarstan Lol the first thing to go on a steadily powershifted tranny is the dog teeth on the collar, that's it kiddo nothing else lmao

[TheCidiot]

@Sarstan 9 o'clock.

[shukiikuhs]

@Sarstan Absolutely not true. In fact, as long as your transmission is capable of handling the power your car has, you can powershift it all day.

There's no difference in the amount of power going through it when you powershift. It's not like the engine magically outputs more power because you PS.

Sure, it's a sudden surge of power, BUT LIKE I SAID as long as your transmission's torque rating is at, or above the amount of torque your engine puts out, you are totally safe.

[SparxI0]

@shukiikuhs yes it's capable of handling it, it won't blow up from all the torque or anything, however it causes increased wear on the transmission and eventually may cause the transmission to fail

[shukiikuhs]

@SparxI0 Not true. A powershift puts the exact amount of strain on the transmission as letting off the throttle near red-line, then flooring it quickly while the rpms are still up. If you have a half-decent transmission, doing that wont hurt it.

A syncros still have to do the exact same amount of work in a PS. powershift =/= clutchless shift. All the syncro's work is done when the clutch disengaged, and no power going through the transmission.

[BMXeon4life]

@Sarstan y are u so butt hurt? it isnt drivers training, people find there own ways of comofrtably driving, i never drive 2 handed, its uncomfortable for me, and ive never wrecked or lost control. chill out grandpa and let people drive u pussy bitch prick

[obezana]

@Sarstan "blah blah blah i suck lots of dick blah blah"

[waterwave1]

@Sarstan You're a Cock!

[wab123ism]

@Sarstan I bet you that if you and this "kid" races he will kick your ass!! or just normal driving he'll also be better!!

[onlycodered]

Bye-bye transmission and clutch.

[aguilar859]

does your Vtec Kick in at 6x1000 Rpm?

[ntaznsol]

@aguilar859 vtech window pulls at 5800

[jcvellucci]

I used to be able to shift like that. Until i took an arrow to the knee

[ghostjas]

pour etre presi une k20a 2.0 l a 220 bhp

[ProSkiSnow]

c'est quoi le moteur la dedan sa sone pas bon ... jenre 1.6 L max !

[plefrancois]

@ProSkiSnow 1.6 L ?? C'est un RSX type S presque stock, donc un K20 de 2.0 L...

[ntaznsol]

@ProSkiSnow wow... rsx-s 1.6? yo go back to your 80's car bro... cuz this here isn't for u

[brodie241241]

This is how to make your 19sec 4cyl pull a 18.99 ;-)

[plefrancois]

@brodie241241 Did you mean 14.69 ?

[ofnarcr]

@plefrancois oooooooooooooooooooooooo

[Deviladin]

@plefrancois 14.69 woth 210 hp and +/- 140lbs.ft torque, doubt it

[plefrancois]

@Deviladin Search around youtube and you'll find some videos showing many Type S's running 14.6-14.7 with intake only, so that's far from impossible.

[worldofwilfred]

@plefrancois bullshit itll do 14.69 not that that numbers worth a fuck anyways

[plefrancois]

@worldofwilfred I will take your skepticism as a compliment ;) Too bad I can't show you the timeslip...

[rompn4x]

People still argue over this shit?

[nahmeen45]

for the record vtec was sold to honda by gm, thats right kids vtec was a gm creation. do some research and youll find out that most cars have had some sort of variable cam timing before honda. im pretty sure alfa romeo was first with this technology

[904mkv]

Fuckin powershift



[kiwkxjroc]

for me i li9ke quick shift cuz i think its better for my car!

[SIKMACH1]

damn bro youre good ass shifter lmfao

[mrgamer1977]

wow man yur so cool i wanta be like you when i grow up and power shift a ricer lol

[NIGHTMARE5008]

0:25 - 0:35 Gzzzzzzzzzzzz you managed to turn a manual car into a automatic !!!!!!

[gfimadcat]

You might not want to put your hand on top of the steering wheel, bad form.

[jonivtec25]

Remember me to never buy this rsx!

[plefrancois]

@jonivtec25 Pas d'inquiétudes, elle est pas à vendre ;) Et tu serais surpris mister, la mécanique est probablement en meilleur état que la plupart des type S de cette année là... jamais eu de trouble avec !

[levelvtl]

@plefrancois J'pense pas qu'il ai compris ça, mais j'pense que son point c'était juste de dire que tu bat beaucoup ta RSX lol, mais anyway, si on bat pas son char y'a pas de fun

[plefrancois]

@levelvtl Justement j'avais catché, mais le monde ont tendance à surestimer les dommages causés. Oui je le bat, mais pas à tous les jours, et d'une manière raisonnable. Résultat : aucun défauts causés sur la voiture ;)

[chrisOTA1]

sexy fucking rsx

[NYCMarineFish]

dont rip the shifter out ! who thought your how to drive ? my bro has a g37 he power shifts but he doesnt rip the shifter! and he had an RSX and a civic si 2011

[hohlkopf12]

it looked like an automatic transmission :D

[abdu95]

is powershifting bad??

[AKAtheA]

@abdu95 yes...you're closing the clutch at almost full torque, it will wear out a lot faster...

[2DaCheapChimp]

@AKAtheA Thats why its a racing technique. for racers with race cars... with race payments. :) hehe

[mlopinto2k1]

WOOOOOOOW..... I cannot fucking believe I just watched someone shift at the correct RPM!!!! Holy fucking DOG DICK!

[117Burn]

acura rsx

[ThisIsNotSharyn]

Is quick-shifting bad for the car at all?

[luminaeus]

@ThisIsNotSharyn

You won't break your car by quick shifting... it's just more wear and tear on the clutch. Rev match every shift and your clutch will last a very long time.

[dahorn100011]

@ThisIsNotSharyn the clutch pedal may snap in the pedal box or in is mount, i know this cos it happened to me

[WarriorGoalie06]

it looked like you were a little rough on your clutch with the quickshifts but thats just me lol dont hate

[slapoutz]

powershifting doesnt seem to good for the clutch lol.. slipping with the pedal to the medal? ill stick with no clutch shift/ quick shifting.

[mysuperliam]

hey is that a rsx?

[PlatinumENT1000]

You can't power shift or Quick shift in a Hyundai Ix35 as there clutches slip so bad it's unreal, when the clutch ain't slipping the Drive shafts are grinding away there teeth or the gearbox is wrecking it's syncro's, I wish I still had my V6 Vectra B!!

[itachi746]

Damn, You Was Killin' The Quick Shiftin'. (:

[castro8705]

Idk much about trannys or clutches, but it looks like he's gonna kick the pedal thru the floorboards.

[CSilva76]

You shift pretty fast man! ty for the vid ;)

[xFNATIKx]

@MrButterneo I can shift faster without using my clutch then you do in your videos

[luminaeus]

@xFNATIKx

Have fun replacing your synchromeshes.

[MrButterneo]

Quickshift & how to shift and ruin the shit out of your clutch

[FIRE96CROTCH]

Can somebody explain to me what power shifting is

[06k20z1]

@FIRE96CROTCH he even mentions what power shifting is in the video...it's when you don't take your foot off the gas between shifts

[greedsb1tch]

Yea? Oh yea? Well i can still shift quick and finger my girls pussy at the same time lls. Real stories bro. And she says its sexy :D

[jclark300]

nice... not a fan of the car myself, but still, nice video.

[killa929]

good job man :D

[synbiosvyse]

despite the rice, this is actually a good video. Not that many people know what power shifting really is, and the guy here can actually shift really well

[crazyviolent69]

wow, you really know your car...

[corax0705]

you shift like a fucking DSG box....

[187streetsoldier]

Powershifting/Quick shifting will NOT hurt your transmissions... Shut the fuck up already!

[MrPaulrevere]

Cool. Now let's see you shift clutchless. That's where real skill comes into play.

[dets7]

VTEC just kicked in yo

[marklaisa]

@dets7 what does that mean

[PsykoWaffle]

@dets7 Ahh yes Vtec, all the lag of a turbo with non of the top end gains

[ohiAbyss]

@PsykoWaffle Keep crying, VTEC is genius. If you were aware how VTEC actually works, then you would have the common sense not to post such an idiotic comment. Oh wait, they don't have education over there where fords and chevy's are popular. You're excused.

[k20vtakk]

cant wait till you blow your shit up...your not cutting any time down powershifting just the life of your car.

[averagejoeusername]

Shifting fast has ZERO to do with performance driving-it's just a great way to ruin your tranny.

[Catchaontheflipsyde]

@averagejoeusername Dude wth are you talking about? Quick shifting is essential in all motorsports

[JAMinguitardude1]

@Catchaontheflipsyde I agree, but learning how to take corners faster, and learning how to brake will shave off more time than quick shifting. quick shifting is only really critical in drags, but even then if you have shitty tires it hurts your time, because you lose traction through the first couple of gears.

[veigadevil]

@Catchaontheflipsyde haha... i dont know a motorsport that uses normal shifting anymore care to do an example?

[MrHolyshity]

yeaah good powershift bro And love sound vtec
