That's what you're doing when you put it back into gear and let go of the clutch.

Yes I am aware of what popping the clutch is..I've done it with dead batteries before.

And I assume you were referring to the poster up above, which is why I was confused.

Carry on.

That sounds like a recipe for disaster. The front end is plowing in the turn. The rear tires have no traction.

How about:

a. Brake
b. Downshift
c. Accelerate through the turn.

Not sure what pop charger you are looking at. Has been dynoed for 6.5. And mine does not look like a ***** .

And the gains are similar to any other short ram intake. Also similar to some cold air intakes.

What intake do you have?

If you want to coast so much maybe an auto would make more sense, what happens if something jumps out in the road as your in neutral coasting, accelerating and taking evasive actions to not hit it is not an option unless you have cat like reflexes to pop it back into the right gear for enough power.

Sorry for all the Q's, but I seriously considering the PC within the next month.
Just put ur car in 5th gear, WOT until u pass 95+, put it in neutral right away(release clutch) and let it coast.....let us know.

I just tried my car again on the way home from my parents' home, it happens again

My friend used to have that stalling problem after installing his Pop Charger. We resetted his ECU (using the Technosquare site's method) and there have been no problems ever since.

Hope this helps.

Remind me to never, under any circumstance, ride with you.

I have the pop-charger. So far it seems like a decent product. If you think about it there is still alot of heat developing with the heat shield. After a nice drive, I pop the hood and the heat shield is hot. I am sure this heat shield is not enough protection for the filter. I am truely thinking about the nismo or aem
intake.

Or maybe get the air duct system like kandN uses.

...this method uses up your brakes more. Not sure why you would do this unless you're going to take a spark plug reading at the end of the ramp. You might want to consider a good performance driving school so you better understand driving dynamics.

Pop charger, good. No problems. Better note and 4 mo' hp. Coasting in neutral, esp at high speed, bad.

So the only time the stall is happening is when the car is left in neutral or will it stall during a slow gear change as well? I can imagine a slow gear change, but for the life of me don't understand how you guys gathered enough people that put the car in neutral at 90 mph to find out there was a problem.

I did an ECU reset by disconnecting battery and slamming on the brake several times this morning. My plan is to drive for few hundred miles to see what ECU does...it may learn maybe....i'll findout

There are serveral dyno done by some magazines and it gains 5 whp. Do so search. Mine feels louder and throttle response way better than stock...love it. I think I can live with not being able to coast my car at high speed
