Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

Yes. Example - Saturn S-series.

What's got me curious now is whether or not the old "resistor mod" would work on a MAF car since it was tried/abandoned on non MAF cars showing no positive gains.

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

I'd say warmer weather doesn't have much/anything to do with a HAI.

I think warmer weather produces better FE based on a few observations.

Warmer weather has these advantages vs. colder...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

I see no reason to retest unless you can get the temps up another 40*F.

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

Not to butt in on all the technical talk but what about light pressure turbo charging? I believe it was hot a few years back, even with Prius owners adding small turbos and running 4-5psi. The idea...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

Bummer yes. In reality though, it's been said time and time again; some cars it works wonders on, others not so much.

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer

Now that looks worthwhile.

Glad to see you haven't given up hope and you're giving it another try.

Most all modern cars have coolant in the throttle body. It helps warm the air a bit, not much.

Personally, I wouldn't want a blanket (anything flammable) in my engine bay. If I was to insulate,...

I agree with Beef. That big aluminum length of pipe you're using is just radiating all the absorbed heat. My aluminum pipe going into my airbox is roughly 14-16" total.

I'm pleased with your willingness to try this test.

I'm not pleased that your WAI didn't boost temps up as high as some of the more successful stories report.

You may also end up having to do two tests now. If heat shielding doesn't help enough, you may need to ABA test a grill block to keep the fresh air out of your engine bay, record your results, then...

I see more benefits from summer driving w/ the HAI... I think it's because you can only gain 60-70*F at best unless in rush hour stop-and-go traffic. So in summer heat of 80-90*F ambient, your...

Fixed.

I hope the test route is a "loop" where you test one setup there and back, and not change it until you are back. I thought that was a given.
