IAT questions...

[Wikid 1]

so is 180 degrees a high IAT? i logged another 0 to 90 run yesterday after some cruising around, and at the begining of the run iat's were at 120ish, and at the end they peak 179 deg. think this is the reason for my knock? O2 reads good now at 950 volts :dunno: but it's still pulling 14-16* KR
I've blocked off my EGR, and replaced the hard lines with hose, have the pump and an aditional IC waiting to go in tommorow, and looks like the FP and AFPR will have to wait till this weekend. even driving around W/ no boost it hardly falls below 110 degrees. i think i have an Import IC pump, makes a lotta noise, but goes nowhere fast :rant: i hate inports, here's even another reason they suck! :rotf:
I've got a Turbo wrap kit sittin in the garage, would it be better to wrap the turbo and down pipe, or the IC? was going to wait till the turbo upgrade to cover anything but i'm gettin itchy to race again and need to do something to help fix this.

Re: IAT questions...

it's not uncommon in the summer heat. try the same thing at night and see how it does.

Re: IAT questions...

I have a Dequick Air 2 Air set-up and out here in Jersey @ 85-90 degrees the IAT stay right around 90-100 degrees and @ night they are awesome always about 5-10 degrees higher than the outside temps.

Love It!

Just wanted to tell my success with IAT Temps.

Thanks Ralph

Re: IAT questions...

did you block off the egr passage on the upper intake?

Re: IAT questions...

Re: IAT questions...

Re: IAT questions...

no havent done anything like that, just the plate where the valve was. Should i block it off at the heads? or as close to as i can? also was gonna try to adapt a lightning cche, yeah dealer wants $630 and thats my cost! list is over 780!! for a friggin radiator!! unreal, a custom made one isn't even half of that! i'm going to wrap my turbo and IC this weekend, and put a resivour tank and shurflo pump on this weekend, and the AFPR and fuel pump come in friday, when i do the turbo i'm going to have the manifolds coated too.

Re: IAT questions...

I would be more concerned about the 16* of KR. the temps may play a small factor in the kr but i would give it a full tune up. cap, rotor, plugs and wires, then change the fuel filter and also put in a walbro 255 fuel pump. Doing all that would really help you out

Re: IAT questions...

aside from the fuel pump and filter, it's all done. had to put stock ac plugs back in (well not THE stock plugs, but the same part number) since no one here carries NGK or anything as cold as the UR6. would the UR6 help out that much you think?
