86 in HOT weather - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

As @VTEC mentioned, also make sure your putting good gas in the tank. Out here in SoCAL it can get to 100+ with 80% humidity which is already challenging for the car. Our low octane 91 pump gas knocks like mad so the ECU pulls timing right away. Make sure you're either putting in 93 octane gas or adding a legit octane booster like Torco Acellerator to 91. Or switch to e85

My car doesn't bog in the extreme heat/humidity, but it is definitely not near as lively, even with 93 octane fuel. Here in North Florida we get days of 95-100 degrees with 50+% humidity all day long, and it can take a toll on intake temps (as you could imagine) especially in stop and go traffic. Sometimes I'll see up to 155+, however my IAM stay's pretty steady at 1.00 for the most part. Every now and again it will drop down to .88-.95 when it's really nasty outside. Now if I was driving the car hard (like on track, autocross, drift, etc) it may be a different story, and I wouldn't be surprised if the ECU pulled timing quicker.

I don't really trust the ass dyno but I can feel a big difference in the car on hot days. Its been brutal in south fl this summer and the power seems to drop way off as the day progresses. Once that sun is at full strength the canbus says no mas.

Kind of like putting a frog in a pan of water on the stove and then S-L-O-W-L-Y turning the heat up ....... it doesn't have sense enough to jump out.
