Looking forward to your results !

Those IAT numbers sound like pre compressor, coming from the MAF IAT 1. As far as I know Lund doesn't have an accurate IAT 2 post compressor hot side measurement.

Incorrect.. There is a downstream sensor that ties into the factory IAT harness. The display on the dash now reads post-blower, post intercooler temps. About 20 degrees over ambient is the norm in traffic.

The Kenny bells kits do they run fans on the heat exchanger ?

We have tested with and without fans.. We've chosen not to run them. They dont do enough at low speed to make a huge difference, and we've found that they become a restriction at around 40-50mph. The blades can't spin fast enough to move the amount of air that would naturally flow through the heat exchanger. The cooling system on the KB is huge and we simply don't have issues with cooling.

Do you have it as a pusher or a puller?

Also, looks like I'm first in line for the dyno. No one is at the shop yet. So I should get in this morning

Awesome! Good luck and let me know what she puts down!

Excellent point!

Hi Travis not trying to argue with you as I have no real data my self. However this topic has been covered extensively here starting on post 45 between Whipple and Dept of Boost. The short of it is Lund does not have the ability to write the pin allocation through the IMRC and the IAT 1 patch to get an IAT 2 reading results in an inaccurate and delayed reading.

I find it hard to believe they fans don't make a big difference. The SC intercooler and fans work much like the engine cooling system and fans. So imagine saying fans on an engines cooling system and radiator don't make a big difference. To me it doesn't make sense, but I may be missing something.

Lund can see the IAT2 with this http://www.lethalperformance.com/vmp-2015-2016-mustang-gt-5-0l-iat-harness-and-brass-air-temp-sensor-for-pd-blowers.html

I had to buy this separately but it sounds like Travis included it in the KB kit.

We aren't trying to go through the imrc channel. We use a seperate aftermarket temp sensor in the Kenne Bell plenum, then intercept the factory IAT wiring. The MAF based iat sensor is no longer used. The response time has been narrowed down to about 1 second. The only lag is in the sensor, but that can't be avoided with programming from any manufacturer. Our method works great, and It's just as good as any other method used by any other manufacturer.

They do help at low vehicle speeds.. They lower temps on our system around 6-7 degrees versus no fans. At about 40-50mph, that changes to zero difference, and at around 100mph, temps actually increase by 3-4 degrees. We attribute this to the fan blades becoming a restriction.

Keep in mind that a radiator fan flows far more air than these small heat exchanger fans. Also, there are normally bypass flaps that open on the shroud of most vehicles that allows trapped air to go around the fan. Lastly, the dramatic temp changes in the intercooler system are far greater than engine coolant temp swings.. Which are slower to change due to the difference in capacity, plus the method/materials used for cooling in the system.

Holy shit
Sent the data-log over to Lund. There may be more timing in it.
That's on plain jain 93 octane my friends!

Dude I'm so happy for you that's awesome hopefully I'll get to have one one day lol
