I literally got a 2017 wrx with the cvt yesterday and I'm definitely in love with this car
Launch in intelligent mode is a no no bro sport sharp mode for sure
Nice video! However, if I may make a recommendation, I would suggest that you keep the time you are holding the car back with the brakes VERY brief. So as soon as the RPMs max out at 2500, release the brake and let it go. Holding the brake and gas makes a TON of heat in the transmission VERY quickly because all the power the engine is making is going to heating the transmission fluid. The trans temp gauge may not show this because of the location of the temp sensor though, giving people a false sense of safety. It's not that bad if you release the brake as soon as the RPMs max out, but holding the brake and full throttle for more than a second can overheat the transmission. Anyways, just a suggestion :)
Nothing is under load.
@@wes89 Actually, the torque converter is under the highest load possible generating a huge amount of heat when the engine is being run at full throttle while being held back by the brakes. From a dyno graph I found online, it looks like that engine can produce about 110 HP at the torque converter's ~2500 RPM stall speed and ALL of that power is going into heating the torque converter. To put it another way, that's like running about 55 1500 watt space heaters inside that little torque converter simultaneously! Definitely not something you want to do for very long.
That just sound like a normal automatic brake stall.
"How to Destroy The Torque Converter in 2015+ WRX With CVT"
That's not launch control...
@@akqjtn facts
@@akqjtn building up a ton of heat in the transmission/converter, building a huge amount of fluid friction in the converter, and shocking the transmission. Semantics... Got it. 👌🏻
spt mode in sport mode is the snappiest launch , traction control off as well, not sure why you launched it in intelligent mode it makes no boost
Thanks for uploading this video. It was very informative.
can you use launch control on S#?? or only on "I" mode
What is a power pull?
is it proper launch control from the factory or just a brake stall?
It's just brake stall man. My Forester does the same thing
@@nick28190 my Crosstrek too😅😅
I won't do that to mine😢😢
The rev so high 🤣. But a nice launch. Car better at stage 1 + tune
Any difference when using launch control in sport or sport sharp mode?
launch should be faster in sports mode than Intelligent mode right
randy randula yes
it's faster in my 2017 manual transmission :)
your octane comment is not correct get the right octane for your car you dont just get the highest thats stupid and a waste of money
edit: your car also wont ''adapt'' to different octane fuels it can assume bad fuel quality if your engine misfires thats it
Boost & Shutter this is again incorrect higher octane fuel burns *hotter* so you can wear out the engine on a car not designed for high octane, on to the adapting fuel quality is not the same the same as octane adapting your car can not adapt to a higher octane than manufacturer recommendation it can adapt to a lower octane the opposite of what you are claiming please research before making claims :)
Boost & Shutter good reply and i agree with this but you should include that in the video people will mistake this and use the highest octane in their civic for more power and end up shortening the life span with no gain
Boost & Shutter you too man good luck
How about change gears lol?? Fucken thing was a nugget
Holy shit, get to the point of the video already....
WRX and CVT WHAT A FUCKING JOKE.
rip cvt
is that your wifes car? automatic smh....
I assume the same goes for 2020 limited CVT?
2:36 ghost van
Haha
I just love the sound of CVTs. They remind me of a constant speed prop on an airplane.
They’re basically exactly the same thing.
So what we learned from this is if you get a performance subie get the manual...
I tried launch control on mine but I guess I didn't press the brake paddle firmly enough and the car started to move I think before reaching 2500 rpm and there was some brake scraping sound. Could this have done something bad to the cvt and the torque converter? I'm not very mechanically savvy so just want to hear your opinion... The car does run fine right now tho.
Make sure you're slamming that brake pedal like you're about to rear end someone
@@nuclearsaturn3834 That's the funniest but most accurate way to describe it lol
Any 0-60 numbers for the WRX CVT?
My Canadian ass was looking at the digital speedometer like “that’s not fast at all”
Sounds like my 2003 fit cvt
Everything u said about modding these is true, I had a 2016 cvt and always kept it completely stock because I could already feel the cvt starting to slip under full or even just high amounts of throttle
Lol that’s it????
I have the legacy xt 22.. will this work for it?
Shift the gears. How many gears does the CVT have with manual mode activated?
6 in intelligent mode, 6 in sport, 8 in sport sharp
The was sad lol but ty I drive a standard
What about pushing the cancel button? Is that something different for launch
I wouldn't say it's launch control ... its just brake boosting ....if it would rev to 3500rpm to 4000 ram then ok its got a launch control system
brake boosting is from a roll, not a stationary start
Wrx videos here
Is this posible on a 2012 sti a-line?
Thanks
Cvts remind me of electric cars lol
im sorry but that shit sounded horrible
Yeah dude that’s just loading up your torque converter and giving it a hard time so it breaks first
Lol. No torque converter. It's a CVT.
@@joes.7536 There is a torque converter in the CVT. That's how the launch control works. Without a torque converter the engine would stall when it comes to a stop.
@@joes.7536 😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
A stupid question 😁 Does the launchcontrol also work i manual mode?
It won't do what it did in the video. You'll have to shift through the gears and won't stay in the power band for Max hp
YUP GONNA BUY ONE WITH A STICK SCREW AUTOMATIC and CVT.....
stops talking at 3:08
There is no launch control on cvt wrx this is a simple converter stall man....
No, it's a factory built in launch control. Go drive a WRX CVT. Unless your in S#, the ECU is telling the CVT to simulate gearing. I believe it's 6 "gears" in I mode, and 7 in S mode. Only in S# will you see the CVT preform like a straight CVT by maintaining optimal engine speed for acceleration.
Like shown in the video, when he initiated launch control, the car held the optimal RPM for acceleration. Had he taken off from a stop normally, the car would have shifted it's way up the "Gears".
@@cameronharbrecht8427 Only in "I' mode you will see the real CVT. He was in "I" mode when he launhed it. It's 6 speed in S mode then 8 speed in S# mode.
@@nnr3 It's actually a CVT below 30% throttle in S mode as well as 40% in I mode. Below those throttles the transmission doesn't shift.
Why wasn't it shifting after the launch? Was staying at 5.5 rpm at 80mph lol
It's a CVT, there are no gears to shift between in order to accelerate. Normally, the CVT in the WRX is programmed to snap between prescribed ratios (so it seems more like a normal automatic) but that's not the case with launch control. Notice how it was glued at 5500 RPM the entire time between 35 MPH and 88 MPH, while this is happening the CVT is smoothly sweeping across the gear ratios as this is actually the most optimal way for the car to accelerate.
5500rpm is maximum power. If the CVT constantly changes ratios to maintain maximum power no matter what speed you’re going, then you will always be accelerating as quickly as possible.
I heard TSC has to be turned off first, i might have missed it from your video if you mentioned it. did you turn it off prior to?
any plan on doing video on your daily drive mode I/S/S# (and difference, likes/dislikes, mpg?)
WRX with cvt :D what a joke
What a waste
You sir are a joke. Searching videos to bash on people due to their transmission hahah try driving a manual in heavy city traffic for 2 years and then bash on people who want some comfort driving. You are a pathetic wanna be car lover
The 6 speed is no better. I have a 2018 wrx with the 6 speed and it's fun. But the gearing is shit. So you're constantly shifting gears just to get up to city speed limits. If subaru kept the 5 speed for the wrx it would have been better. Not to mention the rev hang these cars get makes driving hell. There's are more times than not that i wish i got the CVT. The car is a lease anyway so it's not like i'm going to keep it. ANd i sure as hell not keeping my wrx. I can't wait until the lease is over. Good car, but not for me.
All it pretty much needs is a cooler. My 17 is my 4th WRX. 2 manuals, and 2 "autos". Over 35000 miles, pulls in the low 4's. ZERO problems! My son now owns my 14 manual so I still drive it every once in a long while. I like my CVT more...still. Planning on getting into the high 3's soon with stronger tq converter and E85. Plus a lot of other usual stuff I added. Tomayto, tomahto. For the price of a Limited STI someone could just buy a used Z51 which clocks in the 3's. You might say they can't drive in the winter, but a lot of STI people do the same... imo
@@truth3410 I've been driving manual my whole life and never had a problem in city traffic.. once you actually learn how to drive one it becomes second nature. CVT should not be on a car like wrx, it's insulting
Launch a CVT wrx, seriously??
Or are u making fun?
If you are making fun ...its ok..
Can you launch a cvt from neutral then shifting to “D” if you reach a certain rpm like 3500rpm?
N to D is never the right way to launch in any type of transmission!
@@Verdeniza thank you so much for the answer. 🙏
Very weird seeing paddles in a WRX. That means you kinda wanted the fun, but either didn't know the full fun, didn't know the full fun of a manual, or didn't know how to drive a manual. This video shows how terrible a manual is in this car and proves to myself I made the right choice buying the manual version. His launch was painful and terrible to watch.
Why was that painful and terrible? You’re showing that you actually have no idea what’s going on in this video.
I drive a stick, wife wanted an auto, so she one with shifters.. why? Cause if ima have to drive that at some point, Id prefer have something sometimes than be bored to death. 🤣
