do any of you guys experience heat soak? my car runs great for about the first hour of driving, after that i can tell that the power is noticeably down, especially on hot days. i'm running the stock airbox btw.

 

well. yeah on hot days i can feel my car's kinda slow compared to a cooler day/nights
but nothing too ovious
isnt it kinda normal?
colder it is stronger the car runs and viceversa

 

in my case it happens during the same day, like i leave at 8 in the morning and the car runs fine, then when i'm on the way home an hour later the car feels a lot slower

 

Were you driving in hot weather? i think the heat from the motor gets sucked into the air filter and causes loss of power.. not much you can do unless you get a intake kit hehe

 

i suffer that in my Shortram civic also...
and with the shortram and BLACK car, it picks up a lot of heat all around.
Yes I do feel the difference so I stopped driving past a certain RPM during hot/warm weather.

 

Yup, i feel ya on that.

We've been having 30+C temperatures here.. the car runs and pulls real strong, but its just not the same as the chilly days.


Also, MY A\C is fucked!!!!!!!!! Driving my itr has become a Pain in the *** hardcore

 

i do aswell at the 1/4 mile in the summer time....... i dont run often but last summer i did like 5 runs back to back and lost 1 mph every run it was very strange went from 98-97-96-95-94.......... then i decided to stop to let it cool a lil bit
