As the title says really.


When you first turn the engine on from cold and give the car a small rev it's so responsive its unreal but as soon as the car drops it's rev it's not as sharp as it could be.

Is there anything that can be done to improve this?


I was thinking of fitting a larger TB but read that the standard one is ok for 250bhp I think.



Any ideas people?
 
You want to make your car more responsive when it's cold why?


Sorry, guess I didn't explain myself.

What I mean is it is really responsive when its cold but not when its warm and hot. When driving slow till the car warms up, driving is a lot smother quicker when you apply the accelerator.
 
i can understand what you mean when its cold and the sai pump thingy is working the revs are just above 1000rpm where as once thats cut out its not so revy this would be because the revs are lower at that point.
i think if the car was warmed up and you held the revs at the same point as when the sai pump is working you would get the same result as when the pump is working so its not as revy because you have an extra 300 or so rpm to catch up on if that makes sence.
 
improving the intake temps should help a bit, i take it as tho you've got all the basic bits fmic aftermarket intake etc etc

Got a Seat Sport intercooler with all forge boost hoses, with a oversized pipercross cone filter.

Could try the basics like fuel line cleaner to clean injectors, maybe clean throttle body, see if it's gunked up?

Well I only ever use vpower so the injectors to be as clean as whistle.

Well I don't have the SAI on the car as I took the motor off when I finished off the N75 bypass.
