Has anyone noticed the performance in their scooby... maybe its just me... but I feel that with these cold sunny mornings, the scooby is driving much better...

Its hard to describe the difference but it seems quicker... or was I late for work again...

kbsub

probably cos turbos like big gulps of cold air

Roojai

yup, much better

virgin

yep always, colder the better, cold mornings is like a larger intercooler upgrade

Robocop

I thought it was down to the cooler denser air aiding better fuel atomization.

DevilHimSelf

yup colder air

This is why it is important to ensure your car is breathing air at ambient temperature, throughout the year and not hot engine bay air through a cone filter.

Noticed a big difference over the last couple of days

Robocop

The big difference is when it's foggy. Problem then is you can't use the extra go because of the weather conditions. That is unless you drive like some of the ***** that I see on the M4 when there's bugger all visibilty.

Shortboy

Cooler air is denser, and the denser the air/fuel mixture the bigger the 'explosion' when it's burned & the more power the engine produces......which is why Subaru's decision to stick the intercooler right on top of a nice hot engine always struck me as a bit daft.

Yup in the last few days with my car as well.

P.S adeel ure name is a slight variation of mine lol

Defo, well after the car has warmed up a bit....these cold mornings mean a few jerky gear changes for a few minutes....brrrrrrrr, chilly!!!

kilo_4que

I was gona mention that incase people think were talking about setting off on a cold engine without warming it up.

swiftnick

what an excuse for a blatt! and the verdict ... yup ... less dett too (dont ask )
nice cold air - even though there is no horrible engine bay air filter

ThrustSSC

Helps the intercooler, too All round cold air is a winner on my Scooby

The fastest my blob eye has felt was during a torrential downpour...what's the reasoning behind that, then?

Bubba po

You were scared in the wet.

And frogs like a nice downpour.

frosty day, great !!, more power just as the grip is getting lower !

Love it !

Bubba po

Corner!!!

I'm allowed, because I've posted properly in this thread.

natural water spray for the intercooler

davedipster

Yeh, summer perfomance tyres are real poor under 5 deg C.
Need some winter tyres me thinks.

Higher combustable oxygen content, denser charge, more explosive potential..

My seems to be worse, My boost is tailing off out at high rpm. Car is equally as quick, but certainly no quicker.

Will go investigating what's causing it to hold back later in the week (except the TD04 )

Bubba po

It would go loads faster if it had fake flames coming out of the back.

water spray effect from the rain on your interwarmer = cooler charge !!

Always drives better when cold - much more urgent.
