My car feeel sloow slugish.. (Sti 300whp) feels pathetic in this heat wave. Anyone else feel this? Is this normal? I get abit paranoid and think maybe something isn't right in my motor?
I check my oil constantly in this weather to. I called my tuner and spoke to him about this and he laughed and said.. He had a sti with 350 whp and the guy was frereking out that his car felt so slow in this heat to.
anyone else ?

I know I dont have a evo just wondering if u guys have the same issues

 

Yea heat really sucks with your engine as well as ours! It heat soaks the hell out of them! I honestly try not to get on it to hard in the hot as$ heat.

 

when it gets to hot over 100 I drive my beater civic hatch instead, not as fast but still fun to drive.

 

It's normal for a car with a turbo to feel slugish in the heat. It doesn't bother me much I just take it easy in the heat.

 

Methanol to the rescue.

 

Isn't near as bad with an upgraded IC but I think I need a meth kit too

 

sounds totally normal.... its in the low 100's where I am and my evo hates it! If it cools off at night where you live, stay up late and take your sti for a midnight spin... will probably feel more like what you are expecting..

 

yes

Yeah , heat takes performance away. My car feels slugish as well.

 

Try 117 degrees in AZ!!!! Its really working hard, but still it doens' t go anywhere.

 

That's crazy.. This is my 1st turbod car. I had a 350z wasn't this bad tho
Thanks alot guys
drive safe

 

im with you on that....can't wait for fall relief already.Even at night it feels a lil sluggish.Thats why i stay home as much as possible.

 

Yeah, here in vegas the heat is on and the evos are hating it!

 

I want to swtich to the Ralliart 160* thermostat to help out with that. I hooked up a OBD II tool and monitored what my coolant temp and IAC temp was and 183 degrees was real common in bumper to bumper traffic and the IAC temp was around 105-111 degrees I noticed after I stopped for about 30 minutes and checked the IAC shortly after I started it back up and noticed it was as high as 146 degrees! At night on the way back home it in the 70's and spool up is much better. It's kind of cool to watch the temp drop like 20 degrees when you get into boost. Are there any side effects other than the price with the Ralliart thermostat? Man a 160* thermostat for a Buick Grand National is $8.95! What on earth is it made out of??? Sorry didn't mean to go off topic.
