Currently with the rear mount, my IAT's only get up to about 15* over ambient. What kind of IAT's are you guys seeing with front mount turbos?

~ Forged engine of some type ~ Ball bearing turbo of an unconfirmed size ~ 4L8000 trans ~ Beefy fuel system ~
my last setup usually seen on average 15* above ambiet when under boost for a full pull. the times when i ran e85 mix i seen the IATs drop below ambiet on a full pull.
IAT can be effected by how effecient the setup is
2002 Lightning - GT headed 5.5Litre w/ Twin 7665s
2002 Silverado - 427Lsx w/ Twin gt4202s
2010 Silverado crewcab Z71 - 5.3litre w/ procharger
2000 Wrangler - 5.3litre with some stance
2014 Xsport- 3.5 Eco boost
412 Motorsports
it ain't that I'm too big to listen to the rumors, It's just that I'm too damn big to pay attention to 'em..That's the difference

same way as any other alcohol based fuel. If you noticed when running an alcohol based fuel most dont run a IC as its not needed

Quik,
I am new to the site and I have read alot of threads where you know your sh*t. With that being said it is only my question. If the fuel is not going through the intake track how does it cool the charge? The cooling effect that alcohol based fuels provide are usually pre intake injected or carbed.
Trust me I am not arguing, I can see cyl head temps or EGTs lower, But IAT's?
If you tell me that you have datalogged the fuels back to back, I will take your word for it. I am just struggling to comprehend how.
That's what I figured - intercooler size, pipe routing, etc. I'm just trying to get an average here so I have an idea of where the IAT's will be when I move the turbo.

size the pipes right, least amount of bends if possible and open air to the Intercooler should help greatly. on different note i have a valance perfect for intercooler down behind bumper. its posted in classifieds

Depends where the iat sensor is located as well

Might consider water to air with a front mount. Much shorter pipe routing. Less pressure drop. More consistent temps = Less tuning issues on multiple passes or possible heatsoak
The plan is to keep the intercooler setup like this

I'd like to run an A/W intercooler but the cost is the only thing stopping me. Keeping this intercooler is free. I also plan on relocating the IAT sensor to directly in front of the throttle body, mainly so the ECM will recognize the temp drop when the meth sprays.
