6 Puck Baby 6 Puck...Get a good racing clutch and Chirp under power all the time...

 

Like it was said earlier... the Prelude is front wheel drive, ie. during acceleration the weight is in essence pushed back, therefore off the front wheels. During the shift the front traction is lighter due to the weight transfer and it's quite easy to chirp them even with a slow shift. My stock '89 n/a will chrip between 1st and 2nd sometimes. So it is possible. You don't want the chirp anyway, that just means you're not getting all the power transfered to the ground. Ie. the Prelude will serve you brake lights sooner.

 

"prolly a safety feature so you dont blow the tranny"

actually shifting that high into your rev is difficult cause there isnt enough space in the tranny. the gears in there a lil close together, thats why shifting at high rpms and powershifting is a lil difficult.

theres a guy in town here does trannys and hes stretched out a 7 tranny a bit so theres more space and now powershifting is pretty easy at high revs like 8k.

i woulda set my turbo tranny up like that but i couldnt afford the money.

 

id say: mAD qWIcK ShIfTiNg Y0! i can catch 2nd pretty hard in my TII and ive yet to try it w/ the new uncracked hoses and gaskets (yay!)

 

I coulda sworn chirp=good, spin=bad. b/c a chirp is an indicator that you are shifting w/ the rpms droping to a point lower than redline but still maintaining alot of the torque. I really dont thing the chirp looses THAT much power. someone correct me if im wrong

 

am i missing something here? i have an 88 AE and my redline is 7K rpm. i hit redline a couple times and i started to hear a beeping noise. so what's all this about shifting ~8000 RPM!?!? sorry if i sound ignorant but i've only had the car a few days.

-jet-

 

Then my car=bad.

My rear end steps out to the side shifting into 2nd and 3rd it spins so much. sometimes if im cruising in first and punch it at 4k, just as the boost spools up...it will spin then too.

 

Chirping sucks.

Chirp = slower than without chirp.

Having to damage parts in your car to chirp isn't cool.

What you need is a 500-600 HP 3 rotor tri turbo and then you can "chirp" just by pressing the gas in all the way.

 

All TII's and S4(86-88) n/a's have a 7k rpm redline, but the S5(89-91) n/a has an 8k rpm redline(lighter rotors and such)

 

i can chirp 2nd and 3rd at like 6500 rpms if i really want to with low compression too baby i dunno i just like the sound of chrips tho its kinda cool i know it sounds riceboish but oh well i like the rrrrrRRRRRRMMM..PSSSSHHH..EERRRP.. RRRRR sounds i even got 16x9's in the back too i cant wait till i get this motor rebuilt!

 

Quick shifts is what you need!! If ur racing don't be a baby and worry bout things breaking cuz u've already committed to racing so u might as well try to smoke his *** and worry bout things being broken later. Breaking things also means you have to fix things and have an excuess to upgrade and add performance parts to your car.

 

the easiest way to chirp your tires is to get an upgraded perfromance clutch i have an ACT stage 2 and it pulls the tires you can feel them turn when i shift cause it bounces for a second when im shifting into second and third is when i chirp
