OK

I have an R32 GTR with PFC fitted

I have been looking at the peak hold values (as you do) - and I would like to know ...

what is the air temp reading - well reading really.

and where does it read it from (the plenum ?)

I typically see air temps in the 40s and today had a peak value of 51 - driving home from work this afternoon. (not a hot day in Brisbane today – and I was not pushing things)

Yep thats pretty normal and yes reads it from the plenum just before number 1 throttle body. Chances are if your not pushing it your not creating the airflow to cool it down and the air inside the IC plenum ect stagnates and heats. If you gave it a 2-3 long sqirts with over 4 pound of boost what happened then? You must remember that an IC is a heat transfer device so if the outside heat is greater than the inside temp then it will heat the air.

See the same on mine - generally reads around 25 degrees above the reading you get from the ambient temp sensor.

Note that after driving off boost for quite a while I gave it a good squirt (i.e. on boost for around 15 secs) & it dropped 7 degrees in that time.

    • I'll tell her I put in a new air filter on it, which, it would have anyway with the ITB's In the end she isn't to fussed, she spends lots of money on hair, nails, make-up and all the other "required" beauty products that women use, plus I grease the wheels with shiny gifts and holidays wherever and whenever I can She once questioned my car spending "budget", but after itemising everything she spends on herself, and what I spend on her, and the fact that I don't care if she does or doesn't wear make-up and fancy pants perfume, or requires new outfits for every wedding, funeral or anything else she deems worthy, and I'm quite happy to go "real" camping, instead of staying in hotels or jaunts on cruise ships, she decided not to press the subject on how I spend funds, and has never asked "how much did that cost" again, so a win to me And how often can you say you really get a win with the fairer sex? She is a good woman, and in the big picture, I'm really lucky.....that she hasn't killed me yet
    • What will you do when the Minister of War and Finance says the intake noises are too loud?
    • Will the clear coat dissolve the ink tho?? I thought about clear vinyl tape too. Thinking what to do haha. The one I have now is cracked in 1 spot, otherwise mint. Plus the MINES one is much thicker plastic material so its not flimsy at all.
    • No. Go a different colour, and just trim it at an edge line. Even manufacturers do different panels different colours etc.
    • I see no real downsides to ITB's, apart from the initial cost of my drive in drive out lifestyle, the "upsides" is they sound cool and would add lots of smiles I am willing to pay to play for the extra smiles I've spent the morning googling and youtubing the BBR ITB's, a "little" extra power and throttle response, but alot more dort, and really, I'm only really in it for the dort Who knows, after all this money is spent I might even make 150kwatw....LOL
