I was pretty surprised how long my X takes to start. I bought it unmodified with 4k miles on it. takes a second or two of cranking before it kicks in.

 

Mine starts like the video posted, which is ten times better than my IX was with the AEM.

 

Evo start up race!

 

hahaha, this thread is awsome

 

I always turn mine to ACC first and let the fuel pump prime, then turn it over. This is a known problem in cold weather if you don't prime the fuel pump first, but even in sunny so-cal I've had instances of hesitation when I didn't prime the pump.

 

Yeah when ever i try to turn my X on, it takes a solid 1-2 seconds to turn on.

 

I have noticed it take an extra second or 2 to fire but my 04 ralliart was the same way i think its a feature of the brand

 

actually, i had the same thing.

but i have a 350Z as well, and the time when i noticed that the Z was slow to start up, i knew the battery was going out.

i felt that the EVO was doing the same thing...and the very next day, the car wont start. dead battery. i still have the panasonic battery..thinking of going to the dealership and see if i can get it changed out to the optima red top....or just **** the dealer and by it on my own. autozone will warranty it if anything.

 

Mine ('10 X) starts just like the video. (thabks ityn)
It does take it a second to turn off though. I turn the "key" to off and a second later it actually stops. I think it's pretty cool actually.

 

It might indeed be the priming of fuel pump. I first thought it is due to heat soak but it does it even when I try to start it the next morning, so it is ruled out I'll try waiting on ACC a bit next time, and see if it makes it start faster.

 

If you want delayed starting, start a ducati superbike. Damn thing takes forever.

 

hahahaah I finally picked up my EvoX this week and yep, exactly like that

 

My starts in about two seconds. Rarely on cold nights, it takes a full four seconds sometimes.

 

Mine likes to have coffee first.

 

wow i became a super star
