"Bogging" in first gear

juld0zer · 03-04-2015, 12:14 AM

i think a lot of people are correlating the bogging to oil temperature incorrectly. For those without any form of OBD2 monitoring devices, you can't see the coolant temp in numeric form or intake air temp, more importantly.

So people get the bog, then they glance around the gauges. The only temperature gauge that is close to being a proper gauge is the oil temp gauge. 180*f is hardly hot in terms of oil temperature. Until you monitor your intake air temperature, you guys are all being misled.

And using the onboard ambient display as a reference to compare IAT against isnt wholly accurate either. This is due to the slow response of the sensor plus the computer's slow refresh frequency. But at least it's a starting point.

Anyway, all i have to say is to watch those intake air temperatures. You'll be surprised!
