Hi all,
This has been discussed a bit in another thread, but I felt it was worth creating a new one with the title of the product in the header so that people could find it more easily in the future.
I recently installed the Xineering Downshift Blip Module in my emira.
I purchased it from @GRP.
I called Max Darrah, the president of xineering, prior to the install to get any tips or tricks.
It’s an easy install but awkward. You need to lay upside down in the pedal box, staring up into the belly of the dash.
The instructions provided by xineering, which are 2 documents for lotus, together do a good job of explaining the process.
It’s 100% plug and play. Sort of like a piggyback for the pedals instead of the engine.
I have been using it for a day and I can say that it is absolutely fantastic for decelerating downshifts.
It’s important to understand that it only works when the brake pedal is being pressed at the same time as the clutch or immediately before the clutch.
This means that it is not a complete replacement for oem rev matching system like you might find on a caddy black wing or a recent Porsche.
During accelerating down shifts like you might execute when you’re in sixth gear and want to pass slower, traffic and downshift to fourth gear on the highway, the system is dormant.
The system comes with a switch to turn it on and off.
I see this as a no-brainer edition for every manual Emira. it is not very expensive. It installs very quickly. It is easily removed, and it is easily defeated with the provided switch.
I would love in the future, if there was a way for the company to add functionality on accelerating down shifts, perhaps by tapping into the OBDii port / canbus, either using the jb4’s connection or another obdii adapter.
From watching a few videos of their development process, it’s very clear that Max and his team at xineering are extremely focused and have elite attention to detail. They seem to have an initiative process where they continually refine their solution for each platform.
An example of this is the 3-D printed connector ends in the emira kit which fit flawlessly.
I’m sure people would love a demo video my wife and I will try to get one driving home today.
Happy to answer any questions, but have only had it in for a day so far.
