Need some help, have any of you monitored your ECT2 Temps since installing the intercooler, if so, how high has it gotten for you guys when running ktuner/hondata high boost and stock boost?
My ECT2 on the CRV with stock boost will see about 125-130°f , now with high boost of 21-22psi I will see ECT2 Temps as high as 160-170 especially after prolonged spirited pulls without allowing the radiator a 10 second rest to shrug off the heat
The GOOD problem that I've noticed with the intercooler is that it shrugs off heat soo well, and maintains it within the passenger side (hot side) of the intercooler, never letting it reach the other side, that unfortunately for us, our ECT2 temp sensor is located directly behind the intercooler's hot side (lower passenger side) inside the radiator, so the readings will spike almost immediately under any pull that you do because it's getting all of the hot air from the intercooler transferring the hot air to the radiator.
On the crv my car has active grill shutters, and it uses the ect2 readings to determine how efficient the Active Grill shutters are working, it sees a spike and assumes that the shutters have failed to open, and the car is overheating, it then puts the car into limp mode. Reduces power, and disables all boost until ECT2 Temps have gone down and the engine has been restarted.
Ect1 Temps are always in the range of 175-200.
So, that's why I wanted to get some feedback from you guys in finding out how high, if at all, your ECT2 Temps go up when your boosting, especially with high boost.
Thx!
