JLT Lund Vs Livernois

[stoli]

My JLT seals tightly against my hood, I can see the outline of the seal underneath my hood.

I doubt the whole thing does considering one whole side is under the edge of the rail.

Regardless, I was just pointing my findings to maybe help the OP. There's a big long debate over here: http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showthread.php?p=614952&highlight=post614952

What are your head temps at with that t stat?

Mine range 190-205, once up to temp before they were at about 205-220.

That's the whole problem - the box comes up several inches short of the hood and doesn't seal at all so it's just pulling the air from the engine bay; the source of least resistance.

Saw this in your build thread, you removed the hood liner completely? With that the heat shield longer sealing out most of the air as there will be a gap.

So yes your IAT's would be higher, while any info is good info it'd be nice of you to include that in your reasoning.


IAT's will be higher with the JLT intakes yes, as we use a open style heat shield that isn't sealed like the stock box. With the stock box you're limited on filter surface area and are only getting fed air from the factory duct. It's one of those, the pro's outweigh the cons.

Here's a video we did a few days ago of driving with box the stock box and JLT. in near 100 degree temps. The video is shaky unfortunately, we'll do another one with a solid mount camera, need to rig it up.

I've been running JLT/Lund for 7 or 8 months now, but I've just recently ditched the JLT due to high intake temps. In town driving I was seeing 125-145 (and higher at times) degrees when ambient was in the 90s. Even on the highway I was 10-20 above ambient unless there were no other cars nearby. With the stock I'm seeing 105-110 in the exact same scenarios and only 6-8 above ambient on the highway.

I'll be picking up an Airaid in the coming days....

Wow, on Facebook and here bashing the inlet temps and you removed the hood liner.
That is the whole reason your temps are so much higher than we have seen.

Why would you not give us all the info? :shrug: That's a VERY important part of your issue.

1) Because I saw the same issue with the liner on as it didn't seal then either.
2) On the advice of my tuner that saw the same issue with JLT vs Airaid on their car.
3) Other '15 owners who have seen the same issue.

 

[Jay@JLTPerformance]

Wrong,
1)The sealing to the hood is the exact reason your temps are high SMH
2) Tuner advised because your temps were ridiculous and is grasping at straws
3) Others also posted temps more inline with what we see.

Not giving this important bit of info is not fair to JLT, period.

 

[Jay@JLTPerformance]

99+ test is higher than yours, know why? Hood liner

Another temp test [ame="[MEDIA=youtube]NR1kNbCRu4s[/MEDIA]"]

Nothing like digging up the truth huh? Good job Vinny!

Whatever Jay. Tuner advised based on their experience and changed on THEIR car. If you think I influenced them changing, well thank you.

As I said mine seals to hoodliner . Adam at rev auto has the JLT on his 15 so I copied his mods. I figured he knows what works

Exactly, thank you :cheers:

Mine actually worried me because the seal pushed the liner very hard at first. I have an outline of the box on it now

 

[Vile_the_Bastage]

Also, switching to Airaid? What gains to do you expect with a box that emulates the factory MAF housing and doesn't switch out the MAF sensor? You might as well keep the stock intake on and save your money. Also, there is a reason that most of the vendors sell Airaids, but run JLTs (for their NA cars).

1) Because I saw the same issue with the liner on as it didn't seal then either.

How did you test/confirm whether it was sealing or not?

I don't ever get ambient temps anywhere near 90+, but the last few posts here about the jlt sealing or not sealing against the liner made me curious.

I definitely saw indents in the hood liner, but wanted see how well it was actually sealing. How does one tell for sure? Simple, chalk.

Of course there are spots where there is no rubber, but where ever there is rubber, it looks like it completely seals to me.

I inverted the color one of the hood images to better show the chalk marks?

Nice move foghat.

 

[Jay@JLTPerformance]

Thanks and that liner is pretty thick, so you can expect 1/2"-1" gap without the liner = heat to the filter.

We have tested this over and over every year. 2011 5.0, Crown Vic, 2013 5.0, 2015 5.0 2003 Expedition and ALL will see 3-4 degrees above ambient @ 55+ and 8-14 @ 30.
