Ait Temp Question

[R33GTRVSPEC]

I have a power fc in my car and was wondering where abouts does it measure the air temp in monitor mode? is it just engine bay temp or is it intake temp? if intake, where abouts in the intake? before the turbo? after the turbo but before the intercooler? or after the intercooler?

i'm concerned because i've been seeing temp's up to 62degree's whilst stuck in traffic.

also how much injector duty do you think is safe? its been up to around 92%

Stock AIT sensor for RB26 is in the intake plenum at the front near the inlet. Not uncommon for air temp in the plenum to rise whilst stuck in traffic due to heat 'soak'.

[SteveL]

Not usable in the Power FCs as there is no air temp sensor in any Skyline except for the R34 GTR (which has one in the intercooler).

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

RB26 (R32, 33 and 34) has an air temp sensor for the ECU in the plenum.....

So will putting on a bigger intercooler bring these temps down?

[R33S2]

a bigger intercooler will bring down temps but only when moving a cold air box will help with stationary temps

youll probably find its also measuring the temperature of the metal and not the air itself as its attached to the plenum itself instead of being like a hotwire setup, at least thats how i think it is setup
