High Oil Temp = power + throttle response loss?

Valentino · 02-26-2010, 06:45 AM

to the OP (for what its worth).
I notes a little difference with the power delivery of my car when i have VDC off, and the Sync rev on. VS VDC on and Sync rev off.

lol kannibal. anyway you guys r missing the point. I was asking what the performance decrease is on the Z when oil temps r that high. no one has answered and I dont think anyone knows. I have recorded a few videos and I will show you there is something wrong with my Z. Today on the way to work I was in 5th gear at roughly 50-65 mph the entire time and the temp stayed at 210 degrees. later once I can get a chance I will get a video showing how fast it will go from 200-260. its really wierd

higher temps = lowered RPM limiter. 260F is first threshold, I think 280 is the next threshold.

Read the manual...it spells it out for you.

Not only that, but I'm sure the ECU is probably pulling timing as well at those temps, which would most definitely make the car feel much more sluggish.

That's probably the #1 reason. Higher IAT's = less timing advance
