doublek Member 333 Member For: 20y 7m 20d Location: sydney Posted 09/05/06 05:41 AM Share Posted 09/05/06 05:41 AM hello guysnow that the weather here in sydney is cooling down my car seems to have picked up in its power delivery. it definitely seems quicker to the point where if I flatten it in first I am pushed back in my seat. I did not really feel this in the hotter months.do you think that it has picked up a few rwkw / kw due to the colder denser air?does anyone else feel that their car seems quicker?

Fat-Tony Member 5,364 Member For: 18y 10m 29d Posted 09/05/06 03:24 PM Share Posted 09/05/06 03:24 PM cooler air temps yield a more dense air, as air expands when heated and condenses when cooled. denser air means there is more o2 atoms to react with your petrol. your ecu detects the denser charge air and componsates and hence more air and fuel more power. the more air that can be cramed into a compression stroke will aslo allow your turbo to spool quicker as there is more air to spin your wheel at any given rpm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
