'97 EVO 4 GSR
I already said thatOriginally Posted by orionn2o
Suppose the button could create a leak in the vacuum pipe and then tricks the turbo into running uber boost.
Although I can't see it!
Anyways i'll be at the meet on Sunday so i'll have a looksie
STOP!
No need to start taking photos and ripping your car to pieces Lee.
That button is Normal.
The UK spec 8G Galant Autos have them. If you look at lee's car page, he's got a '99 V6-24. .
The Button's function is to facilitate a smoother driving experience on the UK cars. As you say... Tickle it and it will crawl, boot it and it will give full power and maybe drop a gear, Press the button (in my old 8G GLS, this was called the 'Engage GLS POWER' button) and it'll select the lowest gear possible and change into that.
I used to like it, because there were often times I wanted to quickly 'run up' a gear, but without lurching as the car kicked down. I do find myself wanting the same button in my VR-4.
Nobody checked to see if it had turbos. lol
cool thanks, im guessing EBC is Electronic Boost Contol? lol, whatever it is i like it, but i can see a drastic fuel consumption rise going on! like i say i will get a bit of feedback from the mini meet and let you know, let me know if the pics in the members car bit are clear enough, otherwise i will PM ypu with some high res pics if you like?
Lee - Read my post above.
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
GLS power!!
Well done Kieran , you're a god
ABOUT TIME TOSTOP!

Unfortunately I didn't get round to checking the pics, I was too busy arguing wiv Glenn about the stupid button lol
i dont think my motor has a turbo! f**k i dont know, im just getting into cars goona take a while to catch up lol, thanks for all the advice, thanks Kieran im hoping it is standard, cant afford more on my policy! lol, it does seem to drop the gear pretty quick and fly off, the engine makes a sublime sound when that happens, there is a guy that uses the same garage as me in the mornings, he has what i think is a VR4 and we always give each other a nod, its cool when you meet a similar car owner and get a little respect! lol
Hang on !! Hang on !!!!
This quote "but foot down hard = face on the rear seats!"
This does not describe the acceleration of a NA V6
Can i ask what cars u are used to driving ??
ummmm crap ones? lol, i had an Audi A4 befor but didnt last too long, ice saw too that, but otherwise i had a laguna for 5 years, so im a noob to the power cars, it just seems a lot of power i mean to go from fast and then press the button and it gives more, seems insane!
I think you need to take a ride in a VR4
i would like too, maybe one day............., like i say i'll get some info on sunday and report back
Yep, quite a few owners have felt that the V6 24 is a fast car. Well, it is Lee ......... until you get in a VR4 and then you will appreciate the difference. However, it really is a good idea to start with the V6 24. This was an interesting thread - well done Kieran.
PffffftttThis was an interesting thread
