hello guys

now 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?

not only do turbos love cold weather, the roads are cooler, hence your tyres, hence less traction..

Are there any poor members that live in Darwin or Nth Qld. How do you guys handle this problem to overcome the heat and keep it cool.

Over here in NZ where the airs a lot cooler mine seems to be really pumping.

Going to the drags on Sunday to see what sort of times I can get in the cooler air.

Will keep you posted.Just hope the weathers OK :msm:

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
