Yes that's what I readWhen you add those cleaners, aren't you supposed to run it completely out of the system before putting in new gas?
Yes but it's like my car is on a vacation lolYou just solved your mystery.
It’s about to be the beginning of boost season around October here in CA ?Just to elaborate on the heat and humidity thing. We all know heat is the enemy of getting good power. I mean, think about it, HEAT SOAK isn't just one four letter word, it's two of 'em.
It's the humidity that a lot of people don't know about. I live in Maryland and it gets really humid here. Swamp-like almost. And trust me, it bogs down power. The reason? Cars run on a mixture of air and fuel. Nice oxygen rich air, especially cool air is what our engines crave. Well, when it's especially humid, those excessive water molecules takes up space that would normally be oxygen. So basically you're choking off the engine a bit.
Hey so I’m a little slow, has S always changed how the car felt even in the regular 1.5 non si?side note while using If you have 1.5R already, try putting it in S in map 3 if you want to feel real early onset power lol
S is just a stock CVT transmission mode. It basically puts you at higher rpm. This means you are more in the meat of the powerband giving you a livelier feel. It also can be use to engine brake a bit. I personally don't recommend using S for highway cruising because it uses more gas.Hey so I’m a little slow, has S always changed how the car felt even in the regular 1.5 non si?
During the first lock down, I did two bad refuelings, the knock retard was down to -11, and certainly the engine was delivering at least 20 HP less.Ah... thank you for answering I was so confused. I'm probably going to try again. Maybe my engine was saying plz no more considering it was hot hot and I'd been driving it for 300 miles. Worst case, I just deal with this a few months until I'm back to normal elevation and better gas T.T
update: nope. this elevation just kills peak boost T.T
A couple things. What octane is the highest you can get normally?@gtman I went to the place that has the race fuel during lunch (They have an Arbys, dont judge) and decided to swing by the pumps that have it. Its Sunoco fuel and they have 100 and 110. I just looked it up on Sunocos site and it looks like while the 110 is leaded the 100 is not. $7.99/gal so not as cheap as E85 but I fill up once a week so a gallon of that wont hurt. So this tune might be a little more viable than I thought. My only fear is what if Im out and about and dont have access to the 100.
