What have y'alls IAT's been down the 1/4 mile?
The "problem" I have been having with my car, is I'm hitting nearly 160° temps on the end of the quarter with at only 13psi(full power I'm 21psi). Although I'm not knocking(run e-85) the computer still pulls timing.
It was pointed out that I'm no longer on the top-10 fastest s550's on this site, so I guess I better get off my butt and get it figured out.... With that said I already to have a faster time slip, I just haven't posted it up;)
I think this comes into a few different reasons.
1: When I'm running it's still 90+ degrees outside.
2: The intercooler that was put on my HPP system is WAY to small.
3: The intercooler location is pretty bad(right behind the front bumper)
4: Possibility that my turbo location under the hood isn't getting fresh cool air.
So I'm trying to come up with solutions...
1: Travis@Boostworks and I are discussing building an intercooler that is MUCH bigger. Not sure if it will ultimately fix the problem even in dead heat of summer, but should be done eventually.
2: Travis and I are also discussing, and will most likely do it no matter what, divorcing the IAT sensor from the MAF and moving it further upstream, this will be for option 3 or 4.
3:I have a Nitrous Outlet dry nitrous system laying around the house. Spraying a 35 dry shot post MAF, to cool the intake charge. This shouldn't effect tuning any, and hopefully cool the air charge enough to keep the ECU from pulling timing. I can use my E-Boost 2 to control the Nitrous setup to come on above 10psi.
4: I have a DevilsOwn methonal injection laying around also. This would also cool the air charge and ADD fuel/knock resistance. This would require a retune, and then would require me always having meth. I could run 50/50 water/meth setup and not worry about a retune, but that would effectively lower the octane rating combined with my e-85.
5:Using the Nitrous kit and doing a intercooler Halo. These do work, but waste lots of nitrous. I think #3 is a better option still.
