Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
You're welcome, Vic. I kept my WAI, because I think it has to help the engine warm up faster in the Winter. Even with the WAI, my engine doesn't warm up in the Winter until I've traveled ~four...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Sorry, I didn't see Koji Kabuto's question until just now. I didn't record load values, since they vary with uphill and downhill grades, and loads are different for different engines.

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Did some AB testing of my WAI/CAI today. I'd checked the WAI side pretty thoroughly, but not the CAI side. My setup allows my air intake access to cool air in front of the front fender, so I did...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Wednesday's high temps worried me, too, but the coolant temp alarm light only went on about 2 miles from home, and only stayed on about 1/4 mile. When the temperature alarm kicked on, I was...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Temperatures topped 100 degrees locally for the past 3 days. I took the xB out on Wednesday, and the WAI IAT was in the 168 degree range, but my power went down the tubes, and the coolant...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Any fuel economy improvements would come from using a smaller engine for normal cruising. If your normal engine is a 1.8 liter engine producing 130 hp and getting 40 mpg at 60 mph, you probably only...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Thanks. Yes, I can monitor ignition timing. It varies when I'm DWLing. If I try to keep it in the high 30s, my mpg will be the best - often in the 50+ mpg range and higher. But I lose speed most...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
Well, I did my ABA testing with the insulated WAI today. Ambient air temp was 66 degrees when I left the house. 9.7 miles of P&G later, I arrived at my testing area, with the xB warmed up. Water...

Re: Running a WAI through the wringer
I drove the SE-R down to San Diego for the weekend, or I'd have gone out and run the tests already. I'll probably run them midday, so there'll be minimum temperature change between tests.

To allay all concerns:
My Scangauge is set to hybrid. You have to do that to P&G with EOC. It still loses miles during P&G. That doesn't affect the test accuracy, anyway, since I'm comparing...

Good grief! It just dawned on me that I misspelled the title of this thread. It should refer to running it through the wringer, as in a wringer washing machine. Can a moderator fix this for me?
