Guys, just wanting your opinions on the Dc2R in cold conditons!
Is it consderably slower than in a hotter weather or is my mind playin tricks with me again? lolz

Cheers :x

Colder = denser air = better performance.

it was aboout 7 degrees last saturday night in melbourne and my car feel like vtec below 5000rpm :D

[VTEC16]

...but grip levels can be lower too...

might sound like a silly question but did you look to see if the car's temp gauge was half way. i.e operating temp?

[DC2.R]

Im loving the cold nights!!!! My R runs a lot better and even sounds better.

[NeoBlue]

cold temp. runs better :)

also, vtec does not kick in until the engine has warmed up.

definitely better in cold temp.... i can revv past 10 LOL.... though i have only done this once.... not good for the car :)

yeah ANY VTEC engine will not operate VTEC solenoid OR Fuel and Timing MAPS untill you are at operating temp.

you SHOULD be getting a fair bit more power with colder air temps.. for every 3 degrees drop in air temp, you get 1HP power increase or something like that I read somewhere.. but you can REALLY notice it under your foot - plus VTEC 'noise' should be louder and more defined.

extract taken from my site. - Technical section.

<< As air gets colder its oxogen count rises because of the well known fact "colder air is denser air". So to put simply you can fit more air into the engine with the same intake and get greater performance. A cold air intake sucks air from the much colder air outside the confines of the engine bay as where the short ram or stock intakes suck air from the hot underhood air.

hope this helps.

How can you rev a DC2R past 10k rpm ?
Ive had mine up to 9k but never over, computer cuts out..
