Does everyone experience the same thing as what i experience? I know it has something to do with closer packed molecules and combustion.

If i want to have this effect even on a warm day, what needs to be changed/upgraded?

All cars run better on a cold day there is not much you can do about it.
Just fit a 50 shot of NOS, that should make all the difference needed and is one of the cheapest ways to get some better performance from the V8.

don't drive it on a warm day, only drive it down hill, or only drive it through diesel spills on warm days !

Only drive when the wind is going in the same direction that you want to go.

Get a few metres of flexible ducting- hook one end up to an air vent inside your car, the other end to the airbox opening. Now everytime you blast your aircon, you'll also be blasting cool cool air into your airbox, giving you that crisp, responsive feeling in all conditions*.

have you tried mounting a huge block of ice over the front head light. will cool down your intake and intercooler.


but yes cooler air temps means the air is more "dense" so the air atoms/molecules (my science teacher gf will shoot me for not writing this right) are all jammed in together. and so you can fit more air into your cylinder.

more air in your cylinder means you can also squirt more fuel into the cylinder and your computer knows and does this. all this means you can create a better and bigger bang and make more power.

thats a simplish way of explaining it

A small shot of NOS will have a similar effect as driving on a cooler day, a big shot of nos will have a much more fun effect. lol

Piggy back ECU done already, NOS is out of the picture. I guess theres no way that is viable then.

Yes I'd like to know what piggy back you got, how much and if it was worth it. Also did you get it tuned and by whom?

Now that the US exchange rate is so good I'm looking at importing an Ultimate.

Years ago, riding air-cooled bikes (especially BMW "boxers") I noticed that power and smoothness was enhanced in cool weather, and especially in fog (which led me years later to think about water injection and how it works).

In latter years I've been surprised to find that both my current (petrol) SUV and last (diesel) 4WD achieve(d) better economy in warmer weather, and not just over short trips, either (where poor economy would be explained by enriched mixture to cope with cold engine).

Mine is the E-Managed Blue PiggyBack ECU, need to check receipts for the cost, can't recall.
There is noticeable difference from a stock one but i guess it will be even more obvious done in a TT.

I seem to have the opposite problem...I get more power and response on hot days? Engine seems to rev alot smoother.

On cold days it just seems harsh...

try different oil. Thinner oil might help. Also your air temp sensor is probably broke.
