It might have a tune on the ECU?


If it has an Ecutek tune on it, it might have auto-blip enabled for downshifting. It has occurs under very specific conditions: 1. must be braking, 2. must be above 3k rpm, 3. only occurs when clutch pedal is depressed

I read somewhere that all these tunes do is open the throttle when the conditions are met, but they don't "aim" for a certain RPM based on target gear and speed like some modern cars do. It's up to the driver to "catch" the RPM at the right level.

Is that correct?

afaik the 86 doesn't auto revmatch. What I've notice happen though is sometimes when I brake and clutch in at lower rpms it'll automatically give it a bit of gas/rev up a little.

I think it's just to prevent stalling because in lower gears (not sure about higher ones) I've noticed during heavy traffic it'll actually still keep moving even if I'm not giving it any gas at very low speeds (10-15kmph?)

After some further inspection, I learned that when I pull the cruise control, the rpms switch from between 1-4. Im assuming the previous owners had an ECUTEK

Did you buy it privately? Maybe you can find the previous owner.

It has an ecu tune most likely by ECUTek. The easiest way to know if it has or not is pull your cruise control stalk towards you and the rev counter will move to 1,2,3 or4K RPMs indicating the tune options.
The above post is correct on when its activated but during tune, the tuner can set it to come above a certain RPM or more commonly above a certain speed , say 30 Kmph.

it's not customary to push on the brake when downshifting.

Second off, it's not customary to push on the brake when downshifting.

I respectfully disagree. I would say that a very high percentage of drivers of these cars brake and downshift simultaneously. Some of them even learn to blip the throttle manually while doing so, which is what you will do when you disable the Ecutek autoblip. Enjoy your car dude :)

It's called heel\toe downshifting and is a necessary skill on the track.

Just in case anyone doesn't know what I mean,I was referring to most "sports" cars getting rid of the third pedal in favor of paddle shifters. Most of those cars come with auto rev matching,which is a sad thing that auto makers are making cars less "fun" and engaging to drive.

Driving is an art. You get into things like auto blip, nannies, etc and you end up with a paint by numbers mentality. There's nothing wrong with paddles if you're just out for lap times and have mastered H pattern and heel toe. It's like starting out on the track with a low hp car. You end up being a better driver in the long run when you have to master the fundamentals of why cars do what they do.

I will say though when you get into supercar territory then paddles and nannies are necessary to just keep the car on the track for most mortals. I remember when Walter Rohrl was finished testing the first 911 GT2 he said "You don't plan on selling these to the general public now do you?"

I'm the worst downshifter, maybe I need to run this tune.

Oh, that remark was directed to the OP, who is 18 and has only had his FR-S for about a week. What I meant by "customary" was the normal procedures followed by average drivers under normal driving conditions.

I didn't mean to talk down to you.

Well, you see, I've been driving stick since I was 5 years old (over 72 years now) and I have NEVER heel toe shifted - :iono:
