Intake temps; what do you see?

Post by ChrisAudi80 »

Just wondering what you guys see for IATs while cruising, in traffic, after a full boost pull. My ambient temp is usually around 30 to 33c.
My FMIC is from a Benz W203 with a volume of about 6 liters.

I see anywhere from 45c while cruising to 51c sitting in traffic. If I go into a boost pull starting at 45c, it ends up at around 48-49c after 5 to 6 seconds. I have the target set to 210kpa on my little K03. I know this thing just pushes hot air after 1.1, but would like to try 1.5bar some time :D

So, curious to see what are your IATs like...

I'm usually in the area off 11 c above ambient cruising with my small treadstone. Your #s sound similar to when I was pushing my k24 quite hard for reference though.

That's not too bad really, those are pretty hot ambient temps.

Dude, in April it's like 36-40c. You can't touch the street. I have it set up to add fuel above 50c and pull timing.

However, right now the weather is a little weird. Only 25c and raining, which is very unusual for January. It should be clear and dry.
I forgot to log this morning. I really want to see what happens to the IAT while driving in the rain.
