Intake Air Temperatures

KEVTEX · 02-23-2010, 09:57 PM

I monitor my IAT's all the time. Mine run 6 to 8 degrees above ambient when cruising. I have stock intake boxes, Cobb silicone tubes, the fangs opened up and no ducting. The stock configuration is essentially a CAI.

I totally agree, with the Mod DIY and K&N drop ins your getting the same as aftermarket CAIs for alot less

This confuses me, Steve. Your drop-ins just replace the oem filter, right? The stock intakes boxes are still there, which should negate Modshack's DIY, as the air is already being "pulled" from the outside, as opposed to what aftermarket CAI's (long and short) are doing.

I was going to look more into this DIY, but decided against it since I'm sticking with the stock intake, and it appears it would be for nothing. Correct me if I'm wrong though!

I have the same IAT's with just the stock intakes, no silicone tubes or open fangs.

I have reported on intake temps in another thread as well:

Takeda intakes and Scangauge info

Last post I made in this thread was on IAT's with stock intakes:

So this translates to about 10 to 15 degrees lower then what I got with the Takeda intakes. Note: this of course with air moving, so driving at over 35/40 MPH

BTW, Takeda intakes are for sale, see the Private classifieds section if you're interested

Can we see pics of this setup. I was thinking of doing the same as I don't want to mess with changing the whole intake. thanks

No, I've seen the DIY for Modshack. I want to see pics of the guy I quoted KEVTEX. I want to see pics of the cobb silicone hoses with the stock air box. thanks though.
