Intake temp?

[ramthis9501]

Anyone know what the usual intake temp is? I have the app on my phone that reads it and it's saying 145 and it's 109 degrees out right now. Think that's pretty good?

Is that idle?

Nope that was going down the hwy at 70

Yeah that's not very good mine is always a few degrees hotter than the outside temp and that's a stock intake

Depends on where it's actually getting the temp reading. Unless they changed it on the newer 2nd gens, there's no IAT sensor in our factory intakes

I didn't even think of that! I know there's one coming off the intake manifold, I bet that's where its getting it's reading from. It was like 160 before the intake air hose I made so it did make a difference.

That would explain the crazy hot reading

Yup that makes total sense now lol

20 degree drop is a good decrease.

Yeah I know! It's all thanks to my ingenious idea :D
