As I am new to the Evo, I'm not sure if this is normal or not, but when I accelerate hard, say in 2nd gear to redline, and push the clutch in and hold it in or shift into neutral, the RPMs hang for quite a long time, and then fall very slowly (relative, takes a couple seconds). It almost feels like the throttle is sticking, but it only does it when pushing the car. Normal or not?

 

its normal, my 06 MR has done that since the beginning. Now If it hangs at the same rpm for a long time...thats no good.

 

Have either of your cars been tuned? Mine blips a little after tune, but drops pretty quick. That might be something Aaron/ER cleans up in the tune.

 

nope, no tune ever! i need one, but havent gotten around to it.... i hear it gets better with a tune. still a fairly normal symptom.

 

I know mine hasn't been like that in a long time, if ever. I honestly don't remember.

 

Probably just from the pig rich factory tune.

 

The factory probably held the rpm up so that shifting could be "smoother" (?). Lord knows people can't drive standards.

 

Completely normal

 

Awesome, thanks. I'll definitely have it tuned, after my first wave of mods (full TBE, UICP, LICP, and some sort of intake).

 

Yeah, Evo's decel slow. Might be from being a low compression engine or something, but it's normal. they all do it.

 

Mine did that a couple of times but i haven't had it in awhile.

 

OMG, your so far behind in the mod game!!!!

(friendly one upsmanship )

LMK (ie PM) if you want some advice into this as i'm also new to the evo game but have the mods you listed above and have some advice towards other suporting mods.
