Now that it is warmer outside and its like summer time, does everyone elses car seem slower now that its hot out, and especially when you run your air condictioner. I know your air slows down ur car but, my car just seems to be lagging, like studders!!! i dont know just curious and wanted to see if ne one else is having this diffculty!

 

All I know is vetc is usless with the a/c on. All i do is make alot of noise going nowhere. However I geuss that is summer.

 

warmer air is not great for performance....
so if you also turn on your AC is draining more power from your
car...
adjust your idle a so it will stop doing this....

 

summer summer summer time!

and yes, the extremes of the temperature scale arent optimum for a car. too cold, or too hot is what I mean.

 

seems like my car is slower but maybe its just me

thats because performance isnt at best. in other words, it is slower..

 

definitely, i'm here in rochester...and we had a week where the temp range was ridiculous, kept switching from 20 to 60...and my car was definitely faster on the 20 degree days...but, i'll have to admit, i'd have traded power for 60 degree days alllllll winter

 

only car that isn't effected is a turbo car.

 

Yes, when air heats up it expands...so the air going into your intake has less oxygen etc...

That's one of the reasons that you should have an intercooler for turbo setups the colder the air, the more dense it is.

I don't have A/C so I wouldn't know anything about that

 

more heat=less power

no need to make a thread about it.

Lets keep this forum TECH related

 

here in Texas the its getting hot and my cars feeling slower and slower as the temps increase...and with the a/c on if im at a stoplight it bogs real bad n hard to get going sometimes....oh well runs fine at night when it cools off.

 

So don't run the ac.

Yup, colder air is denser. So hotter air isn't. Same principle with turbo setups. That's why you have an intercooler to cool the air.

 

yeah it sucks your car gets slower but girls wear less clothes, so put "bling" summer wheels pick them up and take them back to your house and have your way with them, and i promise you wont care about your car being slow

turbo cars are affect more so than N/A cars.

 

Yea, seriously, my car ran 100000 times better on those 0-30 degree days. It spooled faster and felt sooo much quicker.

 

i agree, car does feel slower then on cooler days or nights..thought it was only me

 

Doesn't feel slower. 98% of the time it is slower. Occasionally there will be one that runs better during the hot day. Your engine will run best on a cold humid day. Likewise it will run the worst on a hot humid day. Seattle New Orleans

 

bump! hehe

Why is there any need to bump this thread? Your question has been answered.

 

a turbo spools until it reaches the preset PSI.. thats why it's better at high altitudes.. so it should be better in hotter weather, the turbo may not spool very quickly but once it boost you should be fine.. this coming form a guy with basic turbo knowledge and not seat time driving an acual turbo car.
