Anyone know what an average intake temp is on a boosted b-series? I mean - where would intake temps be to hot? Thanks

 

Anyone? I need to know if my water to air is working efficiently (or will be)

 

110-120 deg

 

Thanks...gives me an idea of what to shoot for!

 

Go down to radioshack, and buy a fluke dual pyrometer. It's a little hand held display that should come with 2 thermocouples. Use one to monitor IAT's before the cooler, one to monitor IAT's after the cooler. You cannot say set in stone what charge temps should be, or what they should even be close to, but the dual pyrometer will help you measure the efficiency of your core. A good water-to-air unit being fed ice water should see around 100% if not better efficiency if it's a well sized core, and with normal room temperature water i'd guesstimate ballpark 70-80% efficiency.

 

Thanks for the info on the dual meter, what do they run?

It was about 150 bucks for one here.
