Flat spots in powerband after B18C Swap.
Got my swap in about a week ago, everything is running perfect. NO CEL, IAB is working beautifully after a little trial and error.
Only mods is a custom short ram intake I made from an Autozone intake pipe, Home Depot PVC connector and a K&N filter.
I noticed that from the moment I start the car to about 25 minutes of driving it feels GREAT! Pulls really hard. After about 30 minutes of driving or so, it starts to feel a bit sluggish, if I give it half gas I feel flat spots in my powerband. Almost like its struggling but not that noticeable.
Do you guys think it could be heatsoak? Maybe the stock DX fuel filter or fuel pump? I checked my timing its at stock 16 degress BTDC.
