Front mount IAT's

[jetmech]

IAT can be effected by how effecient the setup is

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.

who cares !... Go front mount and sell me your Old spare oil pump !.. If all u change are hot pipes it will not be much of 10 up or down of where u are now........ and like Allen said.. depends on your IAT sensor location and you have Meth kit anyway so WHO CARES ! Hurry and go front mount !... Allen Claims 100hp Gains over the Trick/KBracing stuff........ Put him to the test....

Where did that come from? I claim 100hp gain using my avalanche going from the rear mount, to my front mount kit, at anytime there was no mention of the kb/trick kit comparison.

I have my IAT sensor at the front of the TB and a Trick FMI a/a. W/O meth kit I ussually saw 115F tops with a 95F ambient temp at 9psi Street Driving. Now with the meth (u help me a lot with this kit installation) (35% meth) with same ambient temp and same boost on the street I see a drop to 86-82F most of the time under boost.
Since Meth comes at 5psi, It first up some degrees and then drops.

Not backing up Quik, but comes to my attention, then when I use pure Avgas 130 I see a 2 degrees drop over normal Pump gas (92 oct). Weird, but is on the logs !!!!!!

That really is wierd. I don't see how the ECM can read the temp drop.

Where can you get 130 Avgas? I know an airport before you smart asses chime in. If I remember you aren't in the states, right?

How long before the Avgas trashes your O2 or wideband sensors?
