talking abt driving style, how do u drive a car? fast launch fr. standstill then ease the throttle after reaching, say 80kmh or light pedal all the way regardless the situation?
hmm.. it was so long since i driven one, wit so many of them, i cant remember specifically how i drove every single one of them. sum i have to part throttle, sum i must push it hard.
as for my car, i dont have to push it dat hard for it to launch good. u'd be surprise on how lightly i touch the throttle paddle. as the revv climbs, i let go of the throttle lil by lil because at a specific revv, the throttle starts responding to my input fast. dis is aroud the peak of the torque reading. dis is where i can achieve the highest FC, which is around 3200~3400rpm on my starlet. each setup has different point, but dis gives u the idea, ya? i dont know if any of u wud consider dis a lie, but my car can run faster wit the bov blowing nonstop loud chaaaassssss!!!!! dis is what happens when i ease the throttle more, wit the bov on moderate setting. if i am to set the bov spring setting harder, d long loud chaaasss wud happen in the higher revv, but once i start to put my foot a lil lower, vacuum hoses starts to fly around (the clip cant hold d boost) and boost cut comes in an instant. 1 bar cant be maintained because of dis, i have to get a set of super clips before i can ever dream of maintaining dat boost level. just imagine, opening the throttle a lil more, makes the boost spikes just like dat!! dis problem makes it hard for me to maximise my engine's potential, 1/2 throttle is alredi considered too much. just imagine what wud happen if 1 bar boost reading can be maintain through out the revv wit 100% throttle opening? witout LSD, i dont think i'll survive on the street.
iam sorry for the long post, which btw isnt even connected to the way i drove the civics years back. dat info is just for comparison, not dat a VTEC engine can do d same trick as the engine isnt charged. i cant remember the revv which i was constantly running, which gave me d FC i told previously. what is the optimum revv which the torque reading is at its peak for the VTEC ya? i know its past the VTEC point since the torque is situated in the higher revv region, dis is the reason its very hard for me to remember at wat rpm B series runs optimumly. iam sorry if dis info doesnt help.
now, back to our VTEC fc issue guys, maybe we shud ask the 2 liter VTEC guy drives his ride. he seems to get good FC wit a 2 liter block
dis is getting exciting:_:
