intercooler gets extreeeeamly heat soaked

[lestat13]

unfortunately i do not have a monitor so my thoughts were just speculation. how long do the temperatures take to cool down then. i wouldnt suspect more than 10 seconds after your in motion. im talking something along the lines of this scenario. driving down a highway for maybe 30 mins. get off the highway. hit a stop light. temperatures rise to that 150. you start to move and air flow is restored at about 15-20 mph and your temps should be back to normal short after no?

it would also depend on whether you have a SRI or a CAI also. where the hp isnt much different the isolation of the CAI cone would greatly effect this would it not?

I logged a bunch of IATs right as summer was starting to hit us with 100+ degree heat. I found that it only took my car a few seconds even in the hottest weather to get IATs back to ambient air temps.... as long as you give it some acceleration Cruising slowly or driving like grandma won't do it, you really gotta get upto a speed where air is gonna flow, I'd say at LEAST 45mph. When it's cooler out, IATs become ambient almost instantly when you start moving.

I have the Cobb SRI btw, we were having one of those SRI vs CAI discussions about hot underhood temps.

well so much for the good luck, the power steering pump went out on me! but awell took it in to mazda this morning, it will be in tom. at 10 so hopefully i'll have my speed back by 2ish, they got me in a slow ass accord as A rental.

jville, this is just a lesson in appreciation. you might love the mazda even more when you get her back.

yea got her back at 6. The even detailed the whole thing for me and put on a new serp belt while they were in there. So i decides to revamp the K&N and fill her up and now my babie back. Hopefully when i return to work tommorrow i will be able to conjur up some type of heatsheilding to fab up something.

I wouldnt care success or failure, for I will only struggle ahead as long as I have been destined to the distance. I wouldnt care the difficulties around, for what I can leave on the earth is only their view of my back since I have been marching toward the horizontal.________buy world of warcraft gold fast wow gold fast wow gold buy cheap wow gold cheapest world of warcraft gold from http://www.wowgold1000.com

I saw one one of the forums someone mentioned the COBB air box really didnt do much for temps, just more for looks. If I pick up the box, Ill be either putting gold heat tape on the outside of the box, or some sort of insulation. A local s2k guy wrapped his intake in that stuff that you used to make sun visors. Since its insulated, the outside stayed hot, and the inside stayed cool, he noticed a great drop of intake temps, so Ill be doing something along those lines.

OK after 4 ten hour days i'm finally home and off for the next 3 days and will be attempting to fab up something or wrapping to try and reduce the amount of heatsoak or atleast prolong it from occuring.
