was my understanding at least some of the boosted setups come with an improved radiator .
Not sure but, it seems your saying a whipple would not be good in Florida or hot climates because of heat soak problems robbing power, and this is just not true. Whipple has one of the largest heat exchanger and intercoolers in the industry, it also has a high volume pump. They also offer dual fans, and with a closed air box mod like I've done its even better. I've never heard of anyone having significant heat issue with the Whipple's setup that they would be loosing power. I know guys who road course and drag and they aren't not having problems as well as street driving. Whipple also sees 3-5 above ambient when cruising at the inlet IAT1.
I can help you source a good dual fan setup for your car. I made my own dual fans and wirring on mine.
You said it yourself that IAT1 is not the same as my IATs. My maf is post blower. So when I'm seeing 2* above ambient, that's what is going into the engine. Your IAT one is before blower. So the whipple requires 2 accessory systems to get close to what the Procharger reads in temps. Since you have an IAT2. Do a pull and let us know what you see for post blower temps, I'm interested in knowing.
Ok so 2-3 degrees above ambient when you are in cruise state I can see, because your bypass will be open and you'll be sipping air. Under load and WOT there is no way 3-4 above ambient is possible unless your spraying heavy meth.
LMK when you want to source the fans, just send me a PM.Thank you sir! I ordered the Whipple/TB/ID1050's/Fuel System. Can't wait!
I briefly looked at one of my logs just before leaving the house. I took off and temp right away started creeping up, peaking at ~12-13*f above ambient. At 7K rpm, upon letting off it slowly started coming back down.
When you say log what system are you using to log? Is this the stock MAF IAT sensor you are referring to? The stock sensor will react, however it will not give you accurate data until it stabilizes.
Is there infrared thermometer data for the different S/C? I have read that the air-to-air intercoolers aren't all that efficient at lower speeds. What you might deal with in a daily driver.
Ngauge. Looking at ACT. Mines seems responsive. There's no delay.
The 2010 kit was also sucking in air from right over the headers in the back of the engine bay. It had the worst filter placement of any FI kit for the S197. That model year has zero basis for comparing S550 kits. Even the 11-14s have completely different plumbing. Do a side by side comparison. If they heatsoaked so bad, why do so many S550 owners run procharger?
I have an Ngauge as well, and I have compared the ACT to my 2 other dedicated IAT2 sensors and it was not completely accurate. The sensors I installed was a K type thermo couple and the other a resistor type. The ACT PID picked up by the Ngauge remains somewhat accurate under 85 degrees and tracked with the other sensors up to that point, but over that it would start to lag behind and would show in the end about 10 degrees lower than my dedicated sensors that were dead accurate.
Well you said it yourself, your ACT is before the blower so it's likely seeing a chill effect from the vaccuum the blower is pulling. Mine is in the charge flow. So what are your IAT2s?
