What makes the difference?
Here I am yesterday driving the toll road home from work going about 60 -65 MPH. I come upon a merge point, traffice is fairly heavy behind and next to me but I left my usual space in front. The driver merging isn't speeding up or slowing down, just pacing me <idiot>. Now I need to speed up and SOON. I press the accelorator down about 3/4+ and it starts to speed up then SNAP! power mode kicks in and I take off like lightning. I think it even surprised the SVX!
I adjusted my TPS some time ago so it takes less pedal to downshift and/or go into power mode. What I don't understand is why is it sometimes like a rocket and others it just accelerates nicely in power mode? I've NEVER had it perform like it did yesterday. Any ideas? Randy ii |

Yes I do
You have the special 92 SVX that sometimes has an "extra 37 horsepower" (searchable). Other doubt it but your a believer now.

Food for though on this topic... I noticed that my power mode doesn't make that much of a difference in warmer and hot weathered air. However, it seems to make a huge difference in the colder seasons...Anyone notice this, or am I just nutso? Again, Not too sure if overall driving altitude would make a difference either??

I own a 92 lsl, any chance that we can prove this on a dyno and it the extra 37+ in power mode on top of the 230?

It's so random the dyno will never find it. Can a dyno test be run with the throttle just punched? or does the acceleration have to be done more slowly?

The 37 horse. I think you can just smash it on the dyno.

maybe we should kidnap the lead engineer who designed the svx motor, Im sure people would pay $$$$ for his knowledge, on this site. We can make a calendar to see who gets him when. LOL!!!!

Hey...
Can you revise that chart to show the gain by adding a yellow sticker and a Type R badge? I've been thinking of adding them, but I want to see what results it would have on the dyno. Thanks
