well after more data and some experimentation---i found out what some others already know and tried to tell me. The airfilter has to go outside the engine bay to get good intake temps
SO mazda speed or aem type here I come. Coarse it has to be home built because i aint paying over 300 for some pipe.

Well I did not want to say anything cuz of where I live and the temps I see.......PM Ray as he did mine and can tell you what to get and where to get it.......I would not say cheap way just less expensive than the alternative. It works...... Keep it above the bumper support bar as temps from below are too high.

I dont know those?
I am thinking about the aem positioned right outside the engine bay
straight pipe--- no bends.
With several people now going over the 300rwp mark---what are yall doing about the ignition?
Are yall running colder plugs for dd?
Reset dwell with aftermarket coils? Aftermarket coils with no dwell adjustment will not increase the spark energy----right?

stock plugs seem to work better.
I do not know about dwell, never changed it.

hymlee what kind of intake air temps are you getting?
Trying to make the s.c. last longer--course i do spray w/m before the s.c. when intake temps get high. That protects it but i want cool air also.
never mind i just remembered you have that big asre air intercooler mate!
By the way---installed the aem filter last night --extended the intake so that the filter is butt up agaisnt the engine bay inlet hole thing. Temps measured at the intake (between filter and the bottom of the tray is only about 3-4 degrees above ambient. it does heat soak when you are not moving , but it does cool off once you start again.
The filter would not fit outside the engine bay.
a/f's actually change in a smoother transistion now????
I will never run a K&N again.

been searching, and not sure if this has come up. but has anyone replaced the tiny intercoolers with a bigger one?
like a intercooler for a turbo?
i know air heats up when compressed

My car is at the "paint job"...
I am installing new bumper (for air flow) + new hood (not seibon).
I'll try this way to let the heat get outside the engine bay.

Which lines?
If you mean the A/F straight line at 11.2, that is bogus, the logs won't go that low.
I still need to cut some fuel, this is running at 10.2 A/F for those AF ratios logged at what appears to be 11.2.
PS: see later post from 01-18-2010, 03:19 PM

What I do not understand is that I run lean BUT my car smells fuel like if it were rich
I'll order a glowshift wideband gauge

A real fuel system with a return line to the tank from a pressure regulator would help...
PS about running boosted under load:
low A/F numbers like 10.2 are way rich and foul plugs, 11.5-12 is ideal, over 12 is asking to instantly remove your Apex seals the hard way.

Cam is the man....
I have approval to tell....
Low compression rotors in the Renesis seems to be working.
Cam still will not call it proven, but he said it can be told now.
I have 9 to 1 rotors from an FD with the Renesis style gas control rings.
Cam feels that until he can see the state of the used parts, it's not proven.
But it isn't breaking yet....
