The famous SSAC Fmic kit for 2gs..... The truth?

[mini zilo]

Has anybody ever done logs of pulls with the SSAC Fmic kit logging the intake air temperature (after the intercooler) from the beginning of the pull to after? If so, what was the total temperature increase. Also, what setup was it on? What was the approx. ambient temp.?



Basically, does this damn thing actually WORK? I mean sure, it cools air, but does it cool air as good as it SHOULD for the SIZE that it is?


Facts and data only.

More logs will be coming soon once we up the boost and tune his car.

Nothing in that thread said anything about the intake air temp (after the throttlebody) increase after a pull. I want to know if anyone has a log of the IAT from the beginning to the end of the pull with this FMIC


That DSMlink log you attached tells me nothing. There is only a log of the IAT from the meter inside of the MAF, meaning that the air had not even gone through the intercooler yet.

Check out GMIAT. The sensor is located in the throttle body elbow.

Finally have some data for the SSAC fmic! This is a log I took with my brothers car (snowborder714). His mod list is up to date.

*Notes:
- An AEM IAT sensor is being used. It is mounted in the throttle body elbow about 4" from the flange.
- I only have this one log for now. More to come later.
- The ambient temperature was in the 30's or 40's.
- The car is running about 8 psi (stock injectors ).
- I only revved the car to 5400 rpm's.
- This was a second gear pull.

The intake temperatures can be viewed under "GMIAT".

The intake temperatures did not act at all like we expected. We thought the temperatures should go up as the rpm's increased but the opposite actually happened. After talking with Thomas Dorris, we verified the AEM IAT sensor is identical to a GM IAT sensor so logging it under GMIAT through DSMlink is fine. Thomas thinks that the sensor is reading how it should. Interesting.

I know this probably won't help much, if at all, but I thought I would post it up for everyone to see. Like I said, we will have more logs to come in the future once my brother gets a few more mods and we start tuning.
