So ever since i got my car which was in January, ive always had this problem...

Every time i go from first gear and floor it and then go into second gear and floor it i notice a "Lag" that feels like its bobbing the car. It only happens in second gear? It feels like I'm not getting fuel into the engine or something weird and it happens when the airs on or off. I don't get it and its annoying. I got my car brand new?

Any ideas or does everyone notice this?

 

are you sure your not bouncing off the rev-limitor when your shifting from 1st gear? or it could be one of those 4 turbonators you have listed in your profile.

could mean you need some fuel system cleaner or change your air filter etc.

if your car is brand new, just take it in for warranty repair at your dealership.

 

I mean i might be redlining it but i never over rev. It takes a pro driver to not over rev with 4 turbonators

I guess i could check those but it doesn't explain why its only second gear?

 

yeah if ur redlining then it's probably the rev limiter kicking in right before u shift and it will do that

 

No its not that its when im in second gear and im flooring it is when it happens. Meaning like 3000 rpm through all the way up till i need to shift it will do that. I just feel it lagging through second

 

like a pulsating feeling....through 2k to about4 or 5k?.....i get that feeling but not when i floor it...go find a dyno chart of a stock tc and u can see small power bands or peaks where our hp isnt linear...

 

Yeah basically that feeling and its only in second. So its a normal feeling? It doesnt always happen i dont think.

 

Almost 100 views and nobody knows?

 

the problem sounds like you are not in the vvti/ vtec so the cams take more time to activate

 

At what speed and RPMs are you shifting ? if you not in the power band when you shift. your going to feel like the car is lagging. and stop flooring it/ you have a drive by wire TB . flooring it really isn't going to do much to make you feel like you are moving faster.

 

What does that mean?

 

Shifting out of 1st at like 3 to 5k

 

LOL

 

what is yours speed ?

 

idk whatever speed im at going through second, its not like a one time felling its all the way through second when im flooring it.

 

try shift at the low end of the power band speed. You should get a better feel that way

 

u may be driving wrong.........

 

i'm surprised no one is FLAMING this guy

 

there really isn't any need for it. he did it to him self already. its was a bad joke gone even worse

i can honestly say i have no clue, i'm paranoid about redlining, its a lot of stress on the engine and you shouldnt do it regularly especially if its a street driving "Go to work and back" kind of car. if you have a racing setup then go for it
