I'm putting this down to the hot weather (as it has seemed infinitely better tonight) - but has anyone else experienced ropey acceleration at light throttle in 4th and 5th?

Please someone say they have?

....I never thought I'd say this, but "roll on the cooler weather!" lol

 

Hey, I sure as hell hope so too, i was a might p**sed off when i went to overtake something and nothing happened. It feels like the turbo has literally "switched off" doesnt it?

Im going to call the garage to see if theyve got any idea, what model is yours? Mines a standard '03 WRX.

 

Mines not been its normal self in this weather. Turbo's like cool damp air, hence intercooler watersprays

Be patient the weahther is set to break in a couple of days

 

I tried a new MAF today, with no change.

The select monitor came back A/OK too.

 

mines ok .....

 

I agree, but i personally would have thought that it would have had a bit of a higher temperature threshold than about 28 degree....as soon as the external temp seems to go past 28, the turbo looses it.....

Bring on the ice!!!!

 

its been 32 here for the last few days allegedly, and my car is feeling it too

Dry Ice anyone

 

what would scoobys be like in America n all where it is mostly hot weather. they'd be slightly disappointed i would guess

 

thats probably why they dont have Turbos over there

 

but is there not just a 2.5 turbo been brought out over in america?

 

yeh, we've got turbo's over here, there pretty new tho. The weather doesn't help it out much tho, unless you live up in New England or out by the Great Lakes.

it gets up to about 105 F (i guess about 40 C) down south, and out west it hits 115 F (around 46 C) every other day. Most of us drink a lot and do as little as possible durin the summer.

 

Burr, see my post in drivetrain.

I think it is the weather Burr, mine felt below par yesterday as well. Lower atmospheric pressure and hot temps dont do anything for perfomance. Its probably going round corners too well now anyway!

LOL, sounds just like the UK!:

I had a bit of a "blast" today and also noticed that the acceleration in 4th and top is definitely below par in this warm weather.

*UPDATE*

BuRR here.

Found the problem - down to a split in the "T" piece where my boost gauge taps into the system.

 

Hi, just an update to my problem, ive booked mine in to have it checked over at the garage (as i know f**k all about these things) but i was informed by the mechanic there that this should not happen regardless of the weather.....after all these cars are sold with regularity in Oz!!

so somethings obviously buggered....oh bum.

Keep you posted...

grr

could have told me

could have saved a trip down to Surrey tonight, picking up the Delta Dash, instead of getting home at a respectable 6.30-7.00pm Ive been home 20 minutes !!

 

Better check my T piece then!
