High IATS with ITBs

[EfiOz]

What was the ambient temp in Adelaide today?

[Edgeauto]

mid 30s. IATs are still a little high but better than 75degC

i had a carbon fibre air box on my quads got it from efi hardwear melbourne...they have fibre glass ones as well...i had 100mm pipe to this and the air filter in the front guard

you have to add fixings your self to hold the lid on and i added rubber edging to seal it better and rubber gasket to seal it to the quads...so still a bit of work to be done......

Looked good once i finished it but it was a bit of messing around

[EfiOz]

We're doing a F3 looking airbox that seals right around to the manifold flange.

I want to make one that can handle some boost too!!

[Edgeauto]

I guess we could always get the Toyota one and see if we could fit it pointing backwards but it seems to small to me.

[Edgeauto]

Boost would be fun but a pain to tune since you couldn't run TPS maps.

[ProECU]

Why, its no different to the current alpha-n ITB code, just more columns for higher pressures.

[EfiOz]

Yeah, you just run TPS with a map compensation. It's fantastic for throttle response.

Because not all ecus are that good pat

my before and after install of a Hondata "style" phenolic gasket showed temperature reductions of around 10-30 degrees.

the car gets to about 40 degrees in stop/start driving compared to over 65 pre-gasket

the intake manifold heats rapidly once the engine is switched off with the bonnet closed,

once cruising it can drop more quickly too, but once it is up over 30, only freeway driving in cool temps can get it back below 30

this is using the Power FC IAT sensor readings...

yes - a phenolic gasket works well, and works better if you use phenolic bolt washers.

however - bonnet venting and active intake cooling will further help reduce IM temps and hence improve power.
