Jezz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I've just been for a little play to see how much difference the chill in the air makes to boost characteristics. HOLY MOLY!! Number 1 boosting at 11psi (.8) and both boosting at 19psi (1.3!!!!??). Can really feel the difference. Anyone else having noticeable gains? Feels crazy quick but then again my car doesnt usually see the road past october jap show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nic Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The temps here vary from 38 degrees summer to 8 degrees winter so I notice a huge difference in performance, I'd estimate a good 15% improvement between the 2 extremes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Couldnt say for the Supra as I dont pick it up till next week, but my boxster certainly is getting more power in the cold, feels much more responsive ! Why cant it be like that in the summer lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why cant it be like that in the summer lol Wait until you've driven a BPU car in even colder weather... The boost and spool hike is awesome It's RWD fun for the next 4 months When the temps hit the minus numbers it gets rediculous Edit - where are you in Gloucester, I'm a local lad myself from the hick town of Newent.

Scooby Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Im with you Homer, BPU is fun in this weather but bloody hell do you have to be carfull!! I was driving past my Director last night, he egged me on so I though I would give her a little squirt. Next thing I know im about 45 deg across the road looking through the passenger window. However TC was switched of so I just kept it planted. Must have looked SOOO cool from the outside! But it was brown trouser time inside.

Carl Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 I'v noticed even my stock TT pulls much more agressively in this nice cold weather. Im itching to go BPU now. Carl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kranz Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 This weather is excellent. Bone dry so just enough traction, yet the FMIC is working so much better! Play time I'm a local lad myself from the hick town of Newent. Thornbury myself (Home of the MKIV Store ). Not really Gloucestershire, sort of forced into being a Gloucestershirearian when Avon was deleted from the map! Doesn't The Hamster live very close to Newent??

Sheefa Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 Great. I had a crash on a slightly damp yet fairly warm morning poodling at about 30mph a while back. This does not bode well. Think I may need to trade the Sup in for a Micra Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blitz supra Posted November 3, 2006 Share Posted November 3, 2006 The cold certainly makes a difference on my HKS kit Better still now with my cold air feed pipe straight in from the front, Even on standard cars you notice the difference How many people say " my car goes better at night " just proves that cold air is more dense = more power My in laws live in Spain and its so hot, All their cars drive awful no power heavy on fuel ... sucking in all that nice hot air in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer Posted November 4, 2006 Share Posted November 4, 2006 Doesn't The Hamster live very close to Newent?? Sorry chap, missed this post. Yes Hamster lives in Redmarley (just outside of Newent), my folks know him and his wife fairly well as until a month ago they lived a couple of doors down. As mentioned before he's a bloody nice fella and is every bit his TV persona in real life. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
