How to Tune Gearing | Forza Horizon 4

[@louisrobins7589]

This guide is so good cos it isn’t just saying “put your gears at this setting” it explains why and how to do it. Great vid.

[@blueangels111]

Exactly, its the same issue I have with a lot of teachers. They teach you what to do but not why it happens, so you can't improvise. Lets take an auto class for example. They teach you how to change brake fluid using this tool that stops air, and then where to insert it. But this tool is $200. However, if you were taught why, you could figure out alternatives, such as a random plastic bottle, some brake fluid, and a tube. Boom, 5 bucks. Also, things like math, some equations just don't work with people but they don't know any way to do it. I had one amazing teacher that finally explained in a way where I could make different formulas that made sense to me and I could do. Now so many people just say "do this and you're done" and its infuriatingly useless

[@iceslayer777]

@@blueangels111 Yep, I’ve always stood by your opinion as it teaches you a lot more on how things make sense or work in life as opposed to telling somebody how it is. 99% of the time there’s a solution to why something works that isn’t too complicated to explain. Teacher’s really don’t understand this and that’s why people don’t always succeed in school since it’s goes back to memorizing something over actually learning how it fundamentally works.

So THAT'S how gear tuning works! I've honestly never tried to mess with the individual gears like that. I just adjust the final drive with the stock settings and call it a day. Now I'm gonna be messing and tinkering with gearing ratio setups. Thanks for the in depth explanation!

[@sirlatesalot5992]

Maybe is a bit late to enter on the Forza hype, but dude, you are making me enjoy this game a lot more, and messing with cars I found useless and enjoy with them

[@esp1344]

For real. Never understood that, it's not like it's hard to make money or get cars, even if you're mediocre at driving you can make 25k and a wheels in or two for each racing team adventure. I have like 120 cars right now and I sell a ton of the stuff I don't care about on the auction.

[@kagataikaguri]

I am so late but I want to thank you so much for your guides. I have always used other people’s locked tunes and felt bad about it (they were never like exactly how I wanted it and I sometimes didn’t like their rim style and aero appearance choices) After watching your guides a couple of times and constantly trying to tweak my cars for hours now I’ve gotten pretty good at it and I always tune my own cars. I am a young person and I don’t have a car / never worked on a car. So I didn’t know about how these tuning windows work until I watched your guides. I am really grateful. I am enjoying this game much more thanks to you.

[@daganfarkas2195]

I literally cant find any better tuning guides, ive just been watching all your stuff

[@brandonlong4243]

I'm so happy I found your channel. I'm racing much better now, and I am using cars I never thought I'd be able to drive. Now that I can tune, I can troubleshoot the cars how I like them.

[@jpepe-qg4qj]

Brandon Long same here man. Haven’t been able to stop playing it every since

[@LcFan96]

worth mentioning is, that your graph depends on downforce, so you should adjust downforce first, lock it in, than adjust gearing to that so you have optimal acc/speed at your wished downforce level

[@Bugs-World]

Looking forward to the drifting one. I mainly use FH4 as a massive gymkhana playground 😂 Could you also add a drift tune formula like the one you did in the R34 - I found that endlessly helpful across my whole garage. The only car that I found it to be ineffective on is the mod-maxed RWD V8 T/T Sierra RS500. That thing is such an animal it needed a much more agressive tune. But your formula was still a good starting point, even on that.

[@back2ukraine1]

[@carpassion96]

Thank you so much. This vid helped me edge out my friend's V10 swapped AWD twin turbo Vaux Lotus Carlton.

[@Hawokki]

Excellent compact guide. I understand it's very situational if you want perfect gearing, but this will do wonders for me. Thanks again!

[@Xmoto16]

Imo gearing is probably the easiest and first thing you should do to a car. Some cars have really short or long and when you fix it the car dynamic changes so much. For example a stock brz is considered slow. Change it to 5.0 final drive and it accelerates very strong. You can tune each gear to get that perfect power delivery. Good job hoki!

[@GonkSmasher]

I love you man im learning something new each vid, hence enhancing my immersion and experience with the game 😍😍

[@Pooooooops]

Couple things about the shift point. Depending on the shape of the powerband (symmetrical, steep on the bottom or steep on the top) you more or less want the same amount of power before and after shift. So for example, if you're putting down 350 at shift and 350 in the next gear. Then drive up to 375 peak then back down to 350. This is the highest average HP and will beat the same car that isn't geared like this. Otherwise you go from 375 to 350, shift, 375 to 350, and it's less overall. When you shift from 350hp to 350hp it also doesn't unsettle the car as much, so it's easier to shift in circumstances you normally shouldn't, like mid turn or mid turn-exit. Second thing. Is you wanna balance that above, with this: after the torque peak, in a straight line perfect conditions, it is impossible to lose traction to the drive wheels. This is because torque at the wheel is decreasing instead of increasing. Many professional racers say to never drive below peak torque for this reason. And for that same reason, you want to make sure that the rpm you shift into is always above the torque peak.

[@AKiddGDeux]

Thanks for the tuning info, does suck that I have been a Forza guy since Forza 4, I’ve always knew suspension tuning but using quarantine to nerd out on gearing!

[@Patte505]

@Waffallaffle so true! i watched so many tuning guides but everytime the topic was still kinda unclear... especially differential... but after i saw your vid i completely understood and was able to tune the cars handling exactly like i want.... amazing guides!!!

[@originalthuum4395]

You're an absolute G. Very much looking forward to the drifting video! Learning so much from you dude!

[@kylemargoldofficial]

Honestly if you keep putting out such quality videos I wouldn't be surprised if you had 100k+ subs

[@someweeb3650]

One thing you should add, if you are fully in peak power, a shorter final drive won't help much, since the wheel torque gains don't increase accel that much compared to even fast shifting

[@kaitsurugi3280]

Thank you! I've always found this topic somewhat confusing but you made it easier to understand.

[@dhbcooray6764]

Wow, this is cool. I have been racing since 2017, just for little while. Most of the time I had to upgrade most of my cars to race better, but until tune-up my cars I was struggling to win. With tune-up my cars have better control with the increased hp. I like your videos; they are very informative. I learned a lot what I’m doing wrong on FH3. Staying home these days is boring. So, I decided to make few videos. I was figuring out as I go but my first video opened for your site, like yours and many more others like too. Good solid information for users like myself. I like to share my learning with the community too. If you could guide me to improve on this please let me know, Thank you!

[@mikrikbell]

It's good to know that I've been doing it the right way all these years!

[@jeffbeasley8235]

It's important to mention that changing the final drive ratio will screw up the optimization that you did for the 1st gear launch. Also, ensure that your tires are *cold* when doing that optimization! This is the state your tires are in for the start of a race which is when it counts the most.
