N2MB Racing WOT Launch Box & No-Lift Shift Solution
N2MB Racing WOT Launch Box & No-Lift Shift Solution
The WOT Box makes no-lift shifting on manual transmission vehicles easy by cutting your engine's ignition for a very short period while you no-lift shift. You can perform a no-lift shift by keeping your foot on the gas through your shift. The ignition cut allows the synchronizers in your transmission to mesh easily, reducing the chance of missing a gear and damaging your transmission. Keeping your foot down through the shift also allows you to hold boost through the shift, significantly improving your quarter mile time.
The WOT Box is an electronic device that makes WOT shifting easy by reducing your engine's power for a very short timed period while you shift. It allows the synchros in your transmission to mesh easily, reducing the chance of missing a gear and damaging your transmission. If the input shaft on a manual transmission is not allowed to slow down enough it will lock you out of gear time after time. We have developed a solution to the problem by controlling the ignition at the shift point to ease the transition from one gear to another.
- Lower quarter mile times
- Reduced chance of missing a gear
- More consistent, effortless shifts
- Reduced wear on the transmission
- Reduced chance of major transmission damage
- And you get that 2-step sound that everyone loves!
Product application: Universal. Compatible with ANY fuel-injected vehicle, which is everything made since about 1990. Not for use on diesel vehicles.
What is WOT Shifting?
WOT shifting is a common practice used by drag racers regardless of if they are running turbo, supercharger or naturally aspirated. WOT shifting is accomplished by holding the gas pedal to the floor and never "lifting" off the gas during the shift. The problem with doing so is when you depress the clutch engine RPMs flare up and a brief amount of time is required for the transmission input shaft to slow down. Even the most successful drivers have been known to miss a gear occasionally. It requires complete concentration and lightning quick reactions in order to pull it off.
Keep the pedal to the metal (or fiberglass in the case of a Corvette), blip the clutch, and grab the next gear. Do it fast enough before the redline, and your reward will be a zero lag, constant boost shift.
When you WOT shift, your engine is still producing peak power through the shift. With the clutch released, the engine revs up. This increase in RPMs and the full output power of the engine makes it very difficult for the synchros in your transmission to engage. The result means that WOT shifting can be very difficult and potentially damaging to your transmission.How does the
WOT Box make WOT Shifting easy?
The WOT Box momentarily disrupts the engine power long enough for you to make an effortless, fast WOT shift. The result?
- Lower ETs - One of our big turbo customer cars dropped their E.T. in the quarter mile from 12.0 to 11.3 seconds just by adding the WOT Box!
- Reduced chance of missing a gear
- More consistent, effortless shifts
- Reduced wear on the transmission
- Reduced chance of major transmission damage
How does the WOT Box work?
The split second that you place your foot on the clutch pedal with the throttle all the way down, a signal is sent to the WOT Box that a shift has been initiated. When the module sees the signal from the clutch switch it will reduce engine power by cutting the ignition. The ignition control is a precise timed event that the user has complete control of. The box is capable of controlling ignition from 25 milliseconds to 700 milliseconds in 25 millisecond increments. With a range like that the wot box can even make Mr. Magoo look like a seasoned pro!
The drivers in the test cars describe using the WOT BOX as sitting in the car and going through the gearbox with the engine off!! All the drivers were amazed at how smooth the gearbox was. The transition from gear to gear is effortless and the boost gauge would barely show a blip between the shifts. We were able to test on an Evo8 with a laggy 60-1 turbo and managed to hold 30+ psi through every gear! Even on a stock turbo equipped Dodge SRT-4 we were able to knock 3 tenths off e.t. by simply hooking the box up. Our big turbo SRT-4 cars were able to drop up to 7 tenths off their E.T. with the WOT Box alone!
Will the WOT Box affect normal driving?
No. The WOT Box will only activate when you are WOT Shifting. Normal shifts will be ignored and continue to work just as you expect. You won't even know its there, until you make a WOT Shift!
Let customers speak for us
from 244 reviewsBrian R. was extremely helpful and spent a good amount of time answering my questions about switching to coilovers. He was a wealth of knowledge and made the purchasing and installation process very easy.
He is so genuine, he helped me out on which parts I should get for my wife’s ‘16 Veloster Turbo. Parts came super fast and was packaged beautifully
Havn't installed yet so I cannot speak to the parts, as they get some run time I will review. Brian at FI was amesome though all through the process. Had questions prior to ordering and he went above and beyond in providing me with answers. After I ordered the parts he called a few days later appologizing for not reaching out sooner, which is crazy cool since country was dealing with hurricane devestation. I didnt expect to recieve parts for a while however they all showed up in about a week. I will def do buisiness with them again and recommend them to anyone in the future.
I bought Silvers Neomax coilovers with aero spring rates (14k/12k) for my track car. The quality of them is great. Install was straight forward and they are easy to adjust and tune as needed. Real happy with them so far and I think they're the best value out there in coilovers. Great price without a sacrifice in quality or performance. Also Brian at FI PERFORMANCE has been great in responding to all of my questions. Has been a great experience so far.
Quality part.
Brian answered every time I called and answered all the questions
Excellent coilovers
The best customer service from Brian
Highly recommended
Car looks great and. Handles amazing
Works great it stiffens up the rear end and no more wheel hop best diff brace out of all I have used in the past, money well spent.
Installed the After Dark hooks on my C5: the rear hook was very easy, and if you only need one hook, it's a quick and easy install. Front is more work: you're going to want a step drill or right angle adapter, since clearance between the bumper and A/C condenser is tight. Drilling into the bumper is not trivial: it's hard, use cutting fluid and make sure your drill bits are sharp. Once it's drilled and the rivnuts are installed, it's easy from there. It's a good design, well made, and at a reasonable price.
The product was originally marked for 2005 and up gx470. I managed to fit it into my 2003 by flipping one of the front hanger mounts. Sound is throaty and deep a bit loud at first. But the sound has mellowed out after a few hundred miles. Hardest part was removing old exhaust had to use Sawzall. Make sure to buy the 2.5 donut gasket ahead of time. The system is high clearance. Its tucked between the frames no chance of hang ups.
It’s the best mod I’ve done. Should have been the first thing I did.
Brian was extremely kind and helpful to make sure I was getting set up with the correct products. The Brey Krause harness bar is extremely high quality. Don’t cheap out on safety stuff this is definitely the harness bar you want in your c5. The combination of great service from Brian and the quick arrival I highly recommend FI Performance and will definitely be using them in the future!
Five stars for the parts and service. Ride quality is better than expected for a coilover setup. And Brian was super helpful in getting the correct setup for my truck
Fits perfectly and does exactly what it needs to do. No complaints.
Brian recommended these end links after sharing my plans to do some HPDE, Autocross and Street driving for the C5 Z06. The parts feel great, I did have a warranty issue that was addressed by both Brian and AFE, I was very satisfied that they took care of my issue in a timely manner as well. Highly recommend both Brian and AFE, thank you as always for your help!
