Accelerating CVT Faster aka Myxal Two-Step
How to do the 'Myxal Two-Step'
I realized something the other day and did some testing to back it up and just wanted to share what happened. It seems, I may have found a quicker way to accelerate in the CVT. This is either from a dead stop or from a roll. A quick test of the runs were done but I don't want to post up the before and after videos. I will post up the difference in 1/4 mile times when I test this at the track but I did confirm it on my Android Torque Pro software. You can shave up to a 1/2 second off your 0-60mph time and 3/10ths or so off of your 1/4 mile time. It'll also help you accelerate and pass another vehicle quicker if need be while you are already up to speed. Here's how you do this.
1) Press the gas pedal fully to the floor,
2) Lift off the gas pedal slightly (very slightly),
3) Immediately floor the gas pedal again
To gain maximum acceleration, repeat steps 1-3 until the rpm needle hits 6000rpm. See videos below!
**Demonstration Video**
'S' Mode
6000rpm at 40mph
0-60 in 7 seconds! :thumbups:
Here's another video I did since I was asked to do the **Myxal Two-Step** with VSA disabled and in 'L' mode. Acceleration was slightly quicker still.

Test this on your own CVT transmission at your own risk. What you will notice is that your rpm gauge will jump up to another 1000-1500rpm right after flooring the gas pedal again.
I thought that the jump was maybe a fake way of feeling like it was accelerating quicker until I tested this out and recorded. The timed runs didn't lie. This led me to believe it was also faster when I did this from a roll.
I'm just sharing! I'm not trying to prove anything either way. Test this yourself with your own testing equipment or just seat-of-the-pants. Good luck!
Just read this comment at a website that talked about how to get the quickest acceleration out of the CVT.
"Typical CVT action here, slow-revving on its way up to 6,600 rpm. Power-braking at launch (overlapping throttle and brake to bring the revs up) netted about two-tenths. Doing that plus using Sport/Manual mode in "1st gear," then shifting to Drive just before it hit 6,000 rpm (at which point it would have "shifted" with a loss in revs) and then letting it do its incessant wind-out for the remainder of the quarter-mile proved by far the quickest method."

^^I'm gonna have to try this braking and shifting technique tomorrow.

Re: Accelerating CVT Faster
Or if you prefer, you can always accelerate like this gentleman (Skip to 4:45)--->
