Too much boost!
Man, even in the heat I swear my car accelerates too well
I want to wind out every single gear constantly. I think it is an addiction now.Is there a cure for this disease? Someone help me before I start racing minivans just for fun! .55 kg/cm^2 is wonderful.... even in the heat I spin my 17" 40 series tires.

Yes there is a cure, its called more boost!! boost more and you'll never go back to low boost and there you have it, you are cured from the .55kg/cm^2 setting.

I know what you mean... I do wind out almost every gear. You can't beat the power you get from a GS-R with turbo, even at .5~bar it is incredible.

There's never too much boost Up next, 15 psi. Then we go to 17 unless California does get cut back to 91 octane at the pumps
If so then it's time to block up that EGR valve.

wish mines felt that good, although today it was cloudy and cool, and it felt a lot better. Guess the heat does make a big difference, on the turbo

Heh, I want to get stock wheels! My car came with stupid ugly alloy wheels when I bought it used... I wish I had the stockers.
The 17" wheels look nice, but they are kinda heavy and make my car stand out.

That's the truth! People talk about how slow their car feels in the summer by comparison... ****, I can't wait for the cool season, then!

Re: Too much boost! (dustin)
try a fully gutted hatch chasis with your turbo motor in it. civic n1 race pulley (alternator only), lightened flywheel and some 13" magnesium wheels. if you really want to boogie, take off your doors (all of them), take off your hood, and don't let anybody see you like this. you would prolly shiiiiiiii_. that would just give you a severe dose so go and do it.
