Post your charge temps

[catmanm7]

I almost guarantee my temps were up around 240 degrees.

We need more pics of cold air intakes. The diamond s hood does not let the heat out that well, but obviously better then a stock hood. I see alot of these intakes routing back up over the exhaust area. Using a shield or anything?

I have gone through the CAI thread, but only 4-5 ideas were posted. I want to see more. I am thinking straight through the center of the diamond S, probably were my stock gauge is, up high. If I ran it down by the nose cone, easiest and most amount of space, I see it getting covered with snow real quick.

My plans are, cold air intake, wrap pipe and a/w cooler. That should solve the problem, but for now I need to finish the season and not tear the sled down.
Edit: Nevermind, I read the thread again, ill just put an elbow on the turbo and go straight up and out.

What is Everyone using for The 90* (Sizes) Elbow and Plumbing for routing the Intake through the Hood? And where are you getting them from? Having trouble finding the hardware up here in Canuckland


My Temps on Long Pulls were @ 230...... running 13psi with BD's Intercooler & Ceramic Turbo Pipe. Lots of Hood Vents, Nose Cone Vents, and basically every other vent you can install.

Where is the Intake temp posted in the stats menu? I thought that was water temp?
I just did a couple of searches and I from what i understand, that is IAT.
Kind of curious....Has anyone tried to insulate the charge tube. I understand that the tube is designed to cool the charge, but that would only be true if the underhood temp is less than the IAT. My Boondocker Charge tube is right near the pipe (pipe is wrapped). I am assuming that the pipe and ambient temp might actually be heating up my IAT. Most Automotive applications use heat shield insulated sleeves to keep IAT low. It would be easy to try. Aluminum only cools quickly if the surrounding air is cool...otherwise it soaks up heat like crazy. Am I way off here???
