Boylo99 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 hi guys anyone had this after getting it mapped he said it seemed to be running a bit hot and seems to be due to the rad fan blowing hot air onto the intake pipe considering making a shield to deflect the air away if anyones made anything be good to see Quote Link to post Share on other sites

akyakapotter Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I can't see what being a problem tbh my ic pipe was touching the rad hose and it got to hot to touch never had any issues. Cheers nick Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 yeah I tried the tape actually made it worse believe it or not we were watching the itb temps when mapping and its just high cant think what else would cause it Quote Link to post Share on other sites
RobSR Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 What intake temps? Where is the IAT mounted? What boost? What intercooler? Lots of variables, let us know and we can advise. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 I guess it would of been done on throttle body temp reading running 1- 1.1 bar of boost not sure on the intercooler was on there when I bought it but pretty sure its to do with the fan blowing on the intake pipe that's making it hot did use gold tape but we removed that and it was 5 degrees cooler ?

RobSR Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 The thing is, without knowing the temp, we cant tell you if its high or not? If you're using the stock IAT, its mounted in the intake manifold and gets affected by heatsoak badly. So if you did a run with tape, waited, then removed it, it may appear lower, but its because the sensor wouldn't have been as heat soaked. It looks like you're running COP ignition in your picture so its going to be on a standalone ecu; can you post the log? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Boylo99 Posted September 9, 2019 Author Share Posted September 9, 2019 il get the laptop plugged into it and get some accurate readings yeah it does heat soak really badly its okay when your moving but if your stuck in traffic gets pretty hot yeah im on COP with standalone link g4 so yeah il get a log going and get some data and then get it uploaded Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Id recommend moving the IAT to just infront of the throttle body to the intercooler pipe if it isnt already. This will reduce the heatsoak, and provide a more accurate reading.
