With the Multigrade oil that we use today, the Viscosity rating is self adjusted for different operating temperatures. Compared to an SAE Grade oil, which as you...
Well first of all if there is no ascertainable, seat of the pants power-cut, that is a good indication that it is not engine pinging. I disagree though that you haven't experienced Knock Sensors that...
The fact that it 'rattles' at lower revs instead of mid-high revs and also it doesn't do it when going uphill at at load suggests it cannot be engine detonation.
Now I'm starting to wonder if I should get a refund of it lol. But for only $75.00 a pair I'll see what I get. Much better than paying Honda a lot of for the stock...
Mate that's called power on understeer. Unfortunately, the combination of Euro's tendency to tramline and perhaps bump-steer makes this car prone to doing exactly what you said.
I find that in the dry, the VSA doesn't really kick in until its highly provoked. I've had instances where I'm understeering during a corner (accelerator off, or after apex, powering on again), and...
I think the other reason to have a higher Rev limit is because in NA cars with fairly linear power output, the Gears and gear ratios pretty much fall inline with the accelerating power.
Mine MY05 Euro, now on different than oem 040 tyres (some kind of Kumho I think, can't remember, its been on for last 15K Kms), pulls constantly to the left these days, after laser alignment. Its...
I think if they guarantee that your ECU wouldn't get fried (afterall its bloody hot these days, certainly makes electronics more susceptible to frying), then there wouldn't be a problem.
I don't see the point of argument here to be honest, and without bothering to study the details of who is arguing with who and who has which point, to me, obviously a longer stroke engine...
