Life without Resonator first field report

Hi all,

 

Thanx to MadeD single handedly pulled out this extra organ from my Aveo, here are some initial observations after 1 tank:

 

+ve

1. torque/horse powder/pick up... everything also went up up up.

2. now no need to press hard on accelerator liao.

3. nice~ engine sound especially right after starting the engine. Fierce...

4. no audible hooting sound as long as rpm never go beyond 3k.

5. because no need to push the car harder, fc actually went down slightly [thumbsup][thumbsup][thumbsup]

 

-ve

1. maybe because torque, etc, gone up, or maybe due to strong air sucking action, car actually vibrates more especially at higher speed

2. need to 'cham' brake from a longer distance and harder due to higher torque, etc.

3. subconsciously want to driver faster faster & faster. hmmmm, need more discipline on this.

4. don't know why but rpm actually went up. E.g. Used to be around 2.2k at 80km/hr but now already 2k at 70km/hr, 3k at 100km/hr. I thought rpm supposed to go down? Some leaves stuck in the air intake?

 

 

Anymore to add from bros & sis without resonators?

I also had my resonator taken out when I installed CAI last weekend. Got the same results as you. But the rpm thingy is different. Now my rpm at 80km/hr is 1.9K (used to be around 2k). 90km/hr is 2.1k (used to be around 2.2k). 100km/hr is 2.3k (used to be around 2.4k).

I was quite amazed by it too. I thought just it is some quirk. But had being monitoring for the pass few day. It confirmed that rpm vs speed have "improved".

Broz..... point 2

"2. need to 'cham' brake from a longer distance and harder due to higher torque, etc. " is a direct result of your point 3 [laugh][laugh] And not because of torque.

". subconsciously want to driver faster faster & faster. hmmmm, need more discipline on this. "

[laugh][laugh]

 

Vibration ? hmmmm..... how high is the higher speed ?

 

RPM should not be affected that much....

Bro Genew,

 

The vibrations start from ard 80km, 120km and above start to 'zhun' a bit more, last time never like that.

 

Vibrations more on steering wheels and accelerator...

 

I pumped the tyres to 220 and the situation got better....
