I think the problem is that once the engine warms up, the IA2 temp (intake temp) is always higher than the ambient temp. Whether you are moving or not just determines how much hotter (for me typically 10-20degF above while moving and 50-60degF while still). So the question is, where does this...
that makes a lot of sense. In that case I might make a removable piece of stripping that I can put in during the warm months, and see if that helps the IAT at all. Will rest out and report back!
wouldn’t be too hard, I’m more worried about seeing that it does lower intake temps without any immediate negative effects, but then finding out later that it has some sort of long term negative effect that winds up screwing me over haha... why I wanted to ask on here first
Appreciate all the thoughts on this so far guys...
I'd like to put an ambient temp sensor under the hood to see how hot it stays even while driving at speed. My guess is that the air in the engine bay stays wellllll above ambient even while driving at speed.
I've been monitoring my IAT2...
With the turbo, my understanding is that the intake operates under a total vacuum and pulls all the air it needs in through the intake... and air isn’t forced into the intake by the speed of the vehicle. If you look at the intake inlet tube in front of the radiator, it points straight down as...
Looking at it I don’t think it’s for water protection... that big gasket gap on the right is only like 4 inches higher than the front inlet in front of the radiator (which is already reallly high above ground)
I'm debugging some high IAT2 temps (air intake temperature), and curious why the stock gasket for the intake has this large opening on the right side (see pic attached).
I would think this is bad, as one could imagine a lot of hot air from inside the engine compartment gets sucked in there (red...
@Hondata Can you post the IAT2 vs RPM plots for the other intakes? I saw you posted one for stock and one for AEM. Particularly curious about the mishimoto plot.
I've been wondering if hot air from the engine compartment is getting sucked in since the mishi's metal box doesn't have any seals...
I ordered one yesterday but they are out of stock until September... by that time the hot weather will already be gone. Trying to see if I can get one before that.
Does anybody know what size the OEM Type R center caps are? Are they 58mm?
I’ve searched high and low on the internet, even called Honda. No luck confirming if they are 58mm or not.
Honda part number is:

I just bought Titan 7 wheels and want to see if I can...
