Thanks but I don't need another burning orifice.

 

We can deliver on that during winter too

 

Nice

I am so excited about my tray also! Car is looking great Scott

 

Thanks man, it is all coming together. I will have some great pics with the new aero and stuff after the CCM Saturday

 

That's a tray? And here I thought it was a portable glory hole.

 

What purpose is that supposed to serve? (The tray, not the PGH)

 

I think its meant to just look a bit flashy while adding weight.

 

Team, Check KMA's build thread to see installed pictures

 

since that thread is hidden in the multimedia forum I'll assume it's just for show

Well at the moment his MAF is right above the Efans getting bukakked with hot air. So until he relocates his MAF to the crash bar, where it will get bukakked with water from the car wash, it will serve a purpose.

 

as long as the maf tube doesnt heat tremendously then it doesnt make a difference where it is.

The shield will help with direction of flow.

 

the entire engine bay is being is filled with hot efan spunk, a tray won't accomplish much

it either has to be moved outside the engine bay, fully enclosed/insulated with a cool air inlet source, or the efans/radiator relocated to the v-mount position laying seed underneath the chassis

 

Yeah my MAF is not positioned in the best position due to the use of the AEM pieces so it is basically getting super heated by my FAL fan setup because I have no tray currently. This and the piping will get coated and the MAF moved and that should resolve my high IAT's at idle and when moving slowly.

 

Yeah when I sit long enough or when moving slowly in traffic everything becomes heat soaked. That's a good idea about a cool inlet source. It's not huge issue but my IAT's are way higher when siting in traffic than I ever saw when I was stock.

 

the stock MAF isn't made out aluminum nor does it have an additional 30+ lbs of metal in the engine bay exhaust stream radiating heat or an additional heat exchanger in front of the radiator as well

not really a comparable situation

 

Stock location

 

AEM location

 

I can't find 9K's location but you get the idea...

 

True. The stock composite pieces do a much better job.

 

Not really. Why are you posting all that?

 

bbbbyyyyyouuuuuuu cakkkeeedddddd

 

hmmm because you aren't getting my point.

The MAF literally sits 2 inches above the E-fan. This is prematurely heat soaking the intake pipe and MAF sensor.

If the fans were not blowing on the MAF and intake piping they would just be getting ambient temperature heat soak. Which would take place at a much slower rate.

Bottom line the fans blowing 170-180* air onto the MAF assembly and housing is increasing the temperature at a much faster rate than they would read if it were picking up ambient temps

Who knows maybe I am wrong... We will get all sorts of data for the haters and see how it compares.

 

what kind of idle/slow traffic iat temps are you seeing?
