Since I have been experimenting with air intakes I would like to show the data recorded in reguards to the set up in the pictured the data was
recorded while running this was taken on a 18-19 degree night at running temperature the recorded intake air temperature is 20.75
Here is the currnt set up that I have been experimenting with ,now what the it doesnt show is the maxium air temperature at idle on a 20 degree night with the engine at 180 f is 30 c as soon you move it will drop down within seconds to 19.25 which is consistant with the out side ambient temperature so it doesnt seem that the engine or intake in my case causes the engine to suck hot air
If I could find a host you I could post the real time playback and you would see that the air moving through the piping cools almost instantly the highest Idle air temperature recorded was 23-30 degrees after 15 minutes of striaght idling compared to a my sons Na series 2 v6 VR using my factory statesman CAI which was almost double the temperature also Im have been getting the air temperature down to the outside ambient temperatures give or a take a degree so its defiantly in the path of the cool air which is moving too fast to be heated by heat soak in the pipes which is what the data is showing also remember Im using alloy pipes so the theory they suffer more from heat soak doesnt stand up
So feel free to post up some more readings of other setups as long as they are real world readings and not dyno readings as most people drive with threr bonnet closed
