    Generally a sequential gearbox in a performance setup produces 'pops and bangs' when changing gears due to the fact shifting is done without the use of the clutch, so an ignition or fuel cut is used to 'unload' torque from the gearbox allowing it to shift through to the next gear.
    With a synchromesh gearbox we can introduce 'flat shifting' which will incorporate a fuel or ignition cut and as a side effect produce similar noises, however, it doesn't necessarily make shifting any faster depending on your specific box.
    What Andre doesn't discuss are 'pops and bangs' tunes that are sold for that purpose alone. These give no performance benefits alone, and generally is the result of poor ignition timing (overly retarded) or extra fuel being injected on deceleration (hence the lack of any performance gains, for a performance or motorsport applications this actually decreases it). This question was just one taken from the Q&A session of a free live lesson, linked below.

    I figured out that when I rev-matched downshifts in my 07 WRX, it would afterfire and I did it at every opportunity 😅 (had a catless turbo-back, so that helped).

    This happens in my 370 when I briefly delay up shifting after engaging the clutch (like half a sec if that) When I use higher octane it seems to do whenever I drive it hard.

  • @bagnasty7791
    @bagnasty7791 Před rokem +5

    Can this be achieved on a sportsbike (constant mesh gearbox) by altering ignition maps in the deceleration cell area? I know you can get decel pops by doing this but specifically interested in upshift pops.

      im also here because I have the same question. my ECU has like a built-in quickshift backfire feature, but you can't make it only turn on above a certain RPM, so it will try to backfire if you shift at like 4k RPM which is a bit shit :D
      So tryna work out how I can map it in manually

      @charliesmith874 oddly enough mine, does. I have a full exhaust on my 2023 r3 and nothing else. It'll pop on upshifts, downshift, and decel. All it takes is a slight flick of the wrist. When you're riding normally and cruising, it burbles occasionally.

      @@dudleym1956 yeah thats pretty standard when you do full exhaust without a tune (especially when you do air intake too), cuz it runs slightly leaner and gets hotter than usual (and also full exhaust means nothing stopping those pops/burbles from being heard)

      There is no purpose, in a race car it is a 'side effect' as explained.
      For a stock/OEM car it depends. Some cars do it these days for 'aesthetics', others do it for the same reasons explained here - Taz.

    I once set my car on fire, because someone forgot to put my left exhaust downpipe thermo shield and there was a bunch of cables hanging which were not meant to be there as well. My muffler fell off that night and the sound was amazing, so I couldn't resist but to drive it and intentionally kick the throttle between shifts to make a bang and so the temperatures got really high and I was lucky to catch the fire quick with the extinguisher.

    You get a pop of anti lag sometimes on upshifts with a syncro gearbox too, basically you just need a so called flame tune :P

    In 1969, tunes were not the reason for pops and burble. What was?

    • @charliesmith874
      @charliesmith874 Před měsícem

      carbs not as accurate / precise as fuel injection, meaning larger change of unburnt fuel being injected into cylinder = pops and burbles when off throttle
