Riley 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Does anyone have some figures they could throw up please? :) Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted January 29, 2008 in this weather mines about 10 deg but thats with a huge FMIC Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 29, 2008 What kind of information are you looking for? Intake temps at cold? Intake temps at normal operating temperature? Intake temps at full throttle? Intake temps at idle? Intake temps with/without phenolic gasket? Intake temps at throttle body? Intake temps at inlet valves? /engineer mode :oops: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted January 29, 2008 my sensor is in with the co pot so see's whats the co pot see's. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Is that pottering about or giving it some stick? Neil. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted January 29, 2008 both really, the faster i go the cooler it gets, theres not that many roads i can give it stick on the isle of wight without loosing my licence tho :lol: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 29, 2008 For those without an FMIC, the story will probably be slightly different. The heatsoak through the black plastic piping from the engine bay plus the radiator fan coming on and blasting hot air over the heat-absrbing pipes will probably mean that the intake temp will still remain at anything from ambient to 50ish degrees. I know that Prodigal's charger's inlet manifold used to burn your hand (almost) after a good hoon, but after he got the standalone oil supply the manifold maybe hits 20ish degrees? so there's a massive intake charge temperature difference there. There's plenty of stuff to do to these engines to make them more efficient way before you think of FMICs etc. @OP, what spec is your G60? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
boost monkey 0 Posted January 29, 2008 Please also see my thread on the G60 Intake System. Of course, it's all opinion with some engineering thrown in :D viewtopic.php?f=1&t=60298&p=708069&hilit=+efficiency#p708069 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProdigalSon 1 Posted February 2, 2008 I have a digital thermometer with min/max log and 'inside' (engine bay) and 'outside' (throttle body) sensors, so I am going to rig it in my bay tomorrow and check the numbers from time to time. This is mainly out of curiosity, and also because I want to have a 'before' to compare with an 'after' once I've fitted the phenolic inlet manifold gasket that's been sitting in the boot for six months! Will post some figures in a week once I have some useful data. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
flusted 0 Posted February 2, 2008 Made a quick vid showing my temps at 40mph in traffic showed 9deg ouside on mfa ? then approx 4 deg higher at co pot Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProdigalSon 1 Posted February 3, 2008 Er, bottled out of fitting the thermometer today as I couldn't work out the best/safest way to mount it, rather than just hang the sensor inside the pipe by the CO pot. The thought of it dropping something into the inlet manifold/engine... or worse, dropping something that recirculated into the charger... :shock: How did you fit yours, flusted?

flusted 0 Posted February 3, 2008 just hang the sensor inside the pipe by the CO pot. How did you fit yours, flusted? I filed a small slot in the co pot for the wire then wrapped some insulation tape round it then poked it back on the co pot hole Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ProdigalSon 1 Posted February 3, 2008 Genius - didn't think of that! :D Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
