anyone else's H22 feel like **** on hot days? mine's paritly due to my damn broken exuast right now but it just feels so weak in the heat...

yup, my h23 is **** on hot days to, just an example half a second slower in the 1/4 mile when going from lower60's to upper70's, but im sure there were other factors to. but yeah, hot days suck.

Try the Hondata intake manifold insulator, a TB/IAC coolant bypass, insulate your intake...

elprez2000 · 05-28-2002, 07:59 PM

yea i know i need to insulate it, i've just been lazy lately, i'm still running my "rain setup" with my stock ruber intake hose and a K&N cone filter on the end instead of my normal CAI.

Yeah I can't wait to feel the power of the h23 with full a/c and when its in the 110's here.

My prelude 96 si feels like a civic in the summer wit a/c on.
i wonder wat the civic would drive like.

yea, i hate a/c when im trying to go fast, but the thought of being all sweaty on my commute home makes me thankful that i have it.

i shut it off for a bit when i'm on a highway on-ramp. hehe, i feel the powah of an H23 for 20 seconds before it starts getting hot

try 70's-80's at 4000 ft of elevation.. then it really feels slow!

I live in northern Idaho its pretty cool here no more then 95 in the summer, BUT it stays around 0 in the winter whats not the greatest for your car.

I know by saying this i'm going to end up jinxing my car but my car has been feeling great with the hot weather here recently. I'm sure being at sea level doesn't hurt and the cold air ducting i have getting outside air into the engine bay either.

SLICK96 · 06-01-2002, 09:06 PM

Dudes, try 7-8k feet elevation, on a 85-90 degree day in Colorado Springs. Thank GOD I don't live there anymore.
