What are your max temps ( air to air intercooler) and how much boost are you pushing and the temp at the track?
also Is there any general rule to how much you lower your temps to how much H.P you gain?

 

At the TTS, at 35psi i saw 240 deg compressor outlet temps, 111 deg at the throttle body, and i believe it was in the 90's ambient temp.

 

I saw 126 degree temps at the throttle body @ 41psi with ambient temp of 99.

 

I just checked the logs on Dave Aiwase's CRX. He has an S366 with a crappy old tube/fin core IC and at the same event tony was talking about we saw 154 degrees at the top end of the track at 38psi.

Chuck P's car has a precision 825 IC and was at 109 at 23psi on a 10.2 pass the same day.

 

35 psi on mine yields about 115-118 at the TB. 85-90 degree days on average.

 

How many of you guys are running Honda temp sensors?

 

i see 112-115 at +/- 40 psi, 85-95 ambient but feels like 120 lol
with a gm sensor.
i dont have any data before the IC, but i can tell you it works

 

Im running a stock temp sensor , at the big end of the track I always seem to see around 145 to 150+ degrees on a hot day around 38 to 45 psi.

 

What intercooler and turbo setup?

 

he is running a precision 72gts turbo and a treadstone vertical intercooler.

 

On a garrett bar and plate 18x12x3.5" core with a 42r with a 1.28 a/r housing, 40psi was seeing 145-150 degrees on a mid 90 degree day. Car was using a GM air temp sensor in the charge pipe near the throttle body. Lowered air temps with air scoop to turbo inlet by 10 degrees in same condition at the next race.

 

Where do you guys run your IAT sensor, before the throttle body? or in the stock location on intake manifolds?

I am but if you could direct me to a better sensor, Id like to see another option.

 

If you have a honda ecu, you're SOL as far as i know. If you have a standalone then you should be able to set the cal for different temp sensors. The GM sensor is actually pretty good and cheap. Bosch also has some nice stuff as well as a fast response temp sensor. A bit pricey, but really nice.

the s300 has two extra 0-5v inputs that you can calibrate and name whatever you want it to be

 

Works great for pressure sensors, won't work for temp sensors.

 

are all the honda sensors created equal, newer or older? obd2 or obd1? Apparently i am SOL using my s300. lol

 

I've heard you get better results by relocating the temp sensor to an area that won't heatsoak so bad, but at the end of the day they all have slow response times. From the data i have, the honda temp sensor is about 12 seconds behind the GM sensor on the track, pretty much makes your temp compensations worthless.

plx makes a temp sensor that is 0-5v. wouldn't this work?:

Have you guys tried the aem one?

i think that one only goes to ground. the plx is 0-5v.
BTW- i'm not the baller. you are thinking about the man in the mirror.LOL

 

Yea i tought it was also, but i just DL the instructions and its based of the GM one!

 

i think it is gm

 

Temp sensor in stock location on the victor x manifold. Im going to be changing my intercooler set up next week, Ill be doubling my surface area. Ill Repost the results after Im done. It will be neat to see if there any big gains in power.
