Phillip1993 Posted June 26, 2016 Share Posted June 26, 2016 Would a high reeding cuse a power drop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 Don't think the ecu would back the boost off if it's sensing exessive heat but a engine that's too hot might tighten up the tolerances enough to cause drag/wear to affect performance. If intake temps are high or its over fuelling you'd loose a bit power . Is it boiling over or just seems to be running a bit hot ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip1993 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 well is wot i have done and found out i had a intermittent power problem that seemed to be linked to how hard you pushed it as it, if you put your foot down for a good 10 min you would start to get a power loss then if you backed of for a few miles and let her cool down she would go back to normal. now iv just changed the temp sensor and it seems to be better but i have only driven home from work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 If it's a recent thing (since its been hot) it might be tmic heat soak , have you got the turbo /downpipe heat shields in place? if not is your downpipe "wrapped" to keep the heat down in the bay ? If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phillip1993 Posted June 27, 2016 Author Share Posted June 27, 2016 wot is tmic heat soak and there is no downpipe heat shields in place and it is a 3" down pipe not warped but i have got some wrap in the workshop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
savage bulldogs Posted June 27, 2016 Share Posted June 27, 2016 The early top mount intercoolers are the least efficient in the range and rarely make over 300hp when mapped . So keeping engine bay temps down helps keep the tmic from soaking the heat into the intake air . Giving colder denser air and more hp [emoji6] Don't wrap the whole downpipe ,as it will get wet under the car , just the top and vertical bit . If it's not broke .....upgrade it 😊 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
