QUOTE(pg.kia @ Oct 11 2010, 03:45 PM) So what to adjust, bro? Really, I remember the unit that I test drive has more power compares to mine! 2.0 cannot adjust the throttle cable as what bro Taipan said coz there are no throttle cable at the first place (2.0 uses drive-by-wire throttle system). I suggest u run your car for at least 5k km for proper engine break-in. After that, if the FC is still the same, try ask SC to reset your ECU settings. Hopefully that might helps.Regarding the sluggish feeling (& reluctant to pick up as u said), my car also suffers the same. As per our technical adviser (Mr. Arul) said, this is due to ECU settings that purposely tuned for good fuel economy. The car is reluctant to pick up coz it reluctant to downshift (high rev/rpm is not good for fuel economy) when u did not press the accelerator hard (or fast) enough. U have to press the accelerator hard/fast enough to trigger the downshift & the car will pick up the speed with ease after that. Our car (2.0 Forte) will also upshift early (at low rev/rpm) if u press the accelerator gentle enough (also for good fuel economy). Even the car will upshift to the final gear (4th gear) at about 40km/h if u ever notice that Due to the nature of a non-racing boy, i prefer this setting though some might not like it This post has been edited by izputra: Oct 11 2010, 04:30 PM |

Looks like buying the Forte is a better choice
Looks like a swelled up version of the current City.... with Honda's new corporate grill as shown in the upcoming new Odessey. If this is the new Civic, the facelifted Forte will pwn it kao kao, at least in terms of exterior aesthetics at this stage. This post has been edited by StarGhazzer: Oct 11 2010, 07:00 PM |

It's really fantastic to have good pickup and still maintain an ideal fc. You've mentioned here before that your fc is around 8-9L/100km, right?I thought ours are from the same batch, takkan different ECU setting pulak! |

Dahlah pickup kurang, fc tinggi pulak! Anyway bro Iz, thanks alot for the helpful info, hope it benefits others too. |
