Intake air temps (IAT)

[henrysan]

Just wondering what average intake temps for everyone are reading on dsmlink, after all warmed up during stop and go driving, and crusing highway, or after a WOT pull. thanks for any info.

I think its going to depend HEAVILY on what the ambient temp is, the turbo, the IC/piping(very very important factor), the compression, the afr's etc.... A big turbo just cruising running e85 and flowing through a 4" ETS is gonna be pretty close to ambient.
Little 14b, ebay fmic, lean tune on pump gas and the air will be hotter.

Just saying, i think this is a very open ended question with no direct answer. ideally, just cruising, you should be at or near ambient temps or under hood temps.

Understood, and thanks for the info. I do realize everyones setup will all have varying temps. just wanting to hear about other peoples temps. I have just been seeing a big difference in IAT as ambient temps increase with warmer weather, up to 105 during stop and go traffic, no more than 30% throttle or so.

IAT's aren't a bad thing to monitor. I noticed a big jump when I started pushing the 14bs past 25psi, so I figured they were out of their efficiency zone.

Like others said though, ambient temp is going to play a huge role on IAT's.
