I hope it works out for you. I think Injen is useless. Poor customer service, unresponsive to issues, promise results but deliver nothing. I took their product off my car and switched.

You can tell just how much hotter the Injen Intake is but the PRL intercooler does a really good job of keeping IATs low post IC lol.
Interesting thread! Just read through the whole thing but won't comment on a lot of stuff.

Question for you though boosted180sx. Why is your post IC IAT temps hotter than your Air box IAT? Mis-type?

he didn't have any typo. Driving around at slow speeds the temps will be hotter than the airbox. This is because the turbo is heating everything up and the IC isn't getting enough air while driving slow to cool everything down.

Heatsoak is a big issue on the Type R watching my temps and how it pulls powers.

Not a typo. Keep in mind, these were mostly just normal driving conditions. If you give it some gas and build boost and introduce more flow through the core, the post IC temps will drop and air box temp will rise.

The stock air box will drop temps much faster after you start moving than an open box. Pushing over 20lbs on that turbo creates a lot of heat, along with the catalytic converter that is there makes the engine bay like an oven just cooking the open air element. These are also with the PRL intercooler. The stock intercooler would heat soak so fast that it probably would not be able to get rid of all the heat that the open intake is sucking in.

There are two types of people. One who believes Air Box IAT doesn't matter as long as you are running an efficient enough IC and another who believes Air Box IAT matters because hotter air coming in = hotter air coming out even with an intercooler.
