Ok, i'm not sure if this is just a random thing with my particular car, but here it is.
When my car's fuel guage is sitting at about 1mm above the half way mark, untill it gets down to about 3mm past half way the thing absolutely rips. Like i'm talking it is a very big noticable difference.
When i have a full tank (quarter or more) it feels exactly the same as when i have an empty tank (quarter or less). Now i'm no noob to cars so i know the age old less fuel = less weight, but that just isn't what this is and like i said an empty tank seems to make no difference to a full tank. The power i'm seeing is the car transforms into an entirely difference beast. It feels like it gains torque throughout the entire rev range, and i'm talking it feels like it's suddenly gone from being a 1.8 to a 2 litre kinda difference. And it just spins up so damn fast and completely nails you. Second gear takes like 2 - 3 seconds to rev out where as if i had a full tank or empty tank it'd take like 4 - 5 seconds to rev out.
This has been true with my old stock standard motor, my current motor (b18c) and with the old ecu, the type r ecu i had for a bit and my current gsr ecu with hondata s200. So i'm kinda left with something to do with the fuel delivery. Maybe the fuel pump, the way the tank is something along those lines. So i'm just curious to see if any other Integra drivers feel the same as i do and to what extent.
I just want to clarrify that this is not some slight feels a little better, this is a pretty big difference. I'm posting now because just then on my way to work the needle is exactly half way and it was screaming better then ever, completely blew me away with how hard the thing is going right now.
Any suggestions as to what it might be also would be great because if i can get it to go how it went this morning but all the time. Cheeering !:thumbsup:
Thanks guys
