Deanspoors Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 After one of the above, bought one second hand a while back, but found it to be faulty. Needs to be the type that controls up and down shifts. Cheers, Dean
Deanspoors Posted October 15, 2015 Author Posted October 15, 2015 thanks Pete, I've sent them an email asking if it will be compatible with the load cell and throttle blipper I have. Fingers crossed.
pete g Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 it can use a load cell or pot . pot best for closed loop control . down shift blipper is a contact so should be able to use with a relay to operate most systems. and its a great bit of kit

pete g Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 no it is not david that is what I use clutchless up and down shifts Unlike all other standalone flatshift systems, the Geartronics ECU operates our unique closed-loop strategy using feedback from the rotary barrel position sensor, thereby greatly reducing the possibility of gearbox damage. Most aftermarket engine management systems incorporate a basic flatshift function, but this will usually only have provision for a fixed cut duration. More expensive management systems may allow gear dependent shift cuts, but this is still a significant compromise. The Geartronics easyshift ECU has the added sophistication of using fully closed-loop control of the engine torque reduction, therefore automatically adjusting the cut duration every time you change gear. This means that every shift is timed to perfection with the minimum interruption of torque to the wheels. There is also no possibility of resuming full engine power before the next gear has been fully engaged, leading to significantly reduced dog wear. The ECU is also capable of driving a throttle blipper to allow 'auto-blipped' downshifts. However, please note that we do not supply a throttle blipper with this system and that it may not be possible to make clutchless downshifts unless you have a very responsive low-inertia engine. The Geartronics Easyshift can be used either standalone or in conjunction with your engine ECU’s internal gear-cut strategy (providing that it’s capable of maintaining the engine torque reduction for as long as the gear cut signal from our ECU remains active). It can even be used with engines running on carburettors by directly interrupting power to the ignition coils, although this is a rather crude method that we would wish to avoid if possible. The ECU can accept all conventional trigger methods, including load cells or microswitches. The ECU is also unique in that it can utilise the barrel position sensor to provide the necessary up or down trigger. By accurately measuring the position of the gearbox selector barrel, we can detect the initial few degrees of movement in order to determine when the driver is pulling or pushing the gear lever. This means that in many cases, it's not necessary to use external triggering devices.
XTR2Turbo Posted October 15, 2015 Posted October 15, 2015 Ah ok my version must be more basic than that
