You have air temp compensation maps in most EMS. When air is cold it is more dense and needs more fuel and visa versa, when its hotter it needs less fuel. You program air temp comp so the car runs more uniformly between hot and cold climates. Its not easy to get it to run consistenly bewteen the extremes but the manufacturers do it quite well.
But if you are introducing 100deg air into the air intake you would be leaning the maps to the maximum. There are even fuel temp comp maps Quote:

I have not yet modified my 96 Saturn SC1, but I took two road trips this year to Arizona and in March I averaged 45 MPG and in June (with temps in the 100's) I averaged 49 MPG so I am pretty sure that HAI is the way to go. I am saving up my pennies (if I get impatient I may sell plasma too) for a Scangauge, because there will never be an answer to the general question of what's the best intake temperature. The best temperature is the one that works best for you and your car. This can only be determined through experimentation and you will need good instrumentation to nail it. I think the hardest part will be building a device to keep the temperature constant.

Good luck to you 96sc1... I'm jealous of your SOHC engine!!
Been looking for a LONG time for an '01-'02 SC1 5sp in good shape w/ less than 100k for a reasonable price w/ no luck... :( |
If you let it go over 200f you will see mpg drop as ignition retards probably due to ping. I like 175f to 180f. That seems to give best results on my SC1.
Funny how people argue with things that actually work, huh? Actual results are what counts, IMO. |
