Throttle pedal lag

[WonderBlue]

Along these same lines, and maybe it doesn’t belong in this thread, but I just tried a fuel injector cleaner on my stock 25ITS and about halfway through the tank now noticing throttle lag. It could be my imagination, because I never really paid real close attention until after I put the fuel additive in, and started monitoring it for any performance difference. Any thoughts on “do’s or don’ts” with fuel system additives with this engine?

If you’re using top tier certified fuel. An injector cleaner in the tank shouldn’t be done any more frequently than maybe every 10k miles

if you’re using shit gas tho. Maybe do one after each oil change.

as far as the throttle lag goes. I dunno.

Like he said above... Almost all gasoline already contains detergents. Adding other stuff to it does nothing at best and dilutes your fuel a bit at worst.

On the note of gasoline, you should avoid ethanol free fuels at all costs. Cars today are designed to run with it and ethanol free fuels can definitely make the car feel more lethargic ime.

motor mount helping with throttle response is interesting - wouldnt that be more of a drivetrain feel than actual pedal lag though? the ecu throttle mapping is probably the real bottleneck, not engine movement. but maybe im missing something, curious what you noticed specifically

Bitch can’t twist or jerk. Especially under sudden acceleration and even under fruity ass acceleration (yall know who you are). Hence the better feeling throttle. Ultimately tuning the pedal tables is the better pay off. But some people don’t want to tamper with the ecu.

also. The model is a curve ball. A rs3/ttrs with a stiffer pendulum type mount is gonna feel way way better than a type s post trans mount. The shittier and more compliant the oem one feels the more U can gain.
