I posted a while back about some hands on with a few blowers.
While I made up my mind on said issue.
There is a more immediate one that has kept me from going FI in any concern.
Today is a prime example
0900
Weather channel said it was 72
Bank said 83
In car thermometer I added read 99.
Point being it's hot over here.
On a cool evening, I can NEVER get lower than about 12 degrees above.
Static IATs at idle, no a.c., just crawling up to operating temp.
Has peaked at 168 degrees.
And people have suggested I add boost? (Not anyone here on the forum)
Now let's talk culprits.
JLT Series 3 CAI.
I keep looking at that "shield"...it's a joke.
Stainless Steel headers...they radiate heat.
I haven't installed it yet. But I have the 2010-2014 GT 500 heat extractor.
I'm hoping that will vent at least a few degrees.
I was curious how my measurement looks.
From the tip of the hood to where the bottom of the extractor.
19.5
Measuring that same 19.5 with the hood up, places the actual vents, directly above my CAI tube. Between the radiator shroud and TB.
Seeing as the fans suck air, and heat rises, this should be optimal??
As for the intake itself.
I had thought of plumbing some dryer hose (something similar) from the lower grille, to the CAI area.
Hoping some cooler air could offset the stagnant heat.
Granted it would only work while moving.
I'm hoping to have a good learn from you guy's, as my meds are in full swing and my abstract thought processing is faltering.
So how do these two sound?
Also any other tips for lowering those IATs?
If I can't keep cool NA, I'll never slap a heat box to it.
So greater minds than I, a little help?
