Unless you are running some sort of cryogenic charge cooling setup....I doubt you'll ever get them too low.

you could also get probs running toluene based fuels if its all too cold rob. Medusa + injection = too much torque for the dyno ..https://youtu.be/qg5o0_tJxYM |

A bloke I know running NoS on his skyline said that the inlet air would eventualy cool the inlet manifold to the point that the cold start injector would kick in. If you can get a mini to achieve this and control it then you can achieve the optimum inlet charge temp and hold it! As I have been told in the past inlet air temp (IAT) is directly proportional to EGT and TGT. Edited by Mr Joshua on 22nd May, 2009. Own the day

He means "Air Charge Temperature" The lower the better, but too low and you could cause icing or poor fuel atomisation. As Paul says Air Charge Temperature, I thought it was a common abbreviation but obviously not. Isambard Kingdom Brunel said:

As I have been told in the past inlet air temp (IAT) is directly proportional to EGT and TGT. Skylines have a cold start injector ???? thats new. I also doubt it would affect water temperature enough for it to think the engine was cold. I think this bloke might be talking poo. 9.85 @ 145mph

When I run my larger shots of nitrous which is direct port and downstream of the IAT sensor I see on my data logs that my intake temp on a hot day at santa pod will drop from 35* at the begining of the run to 5* at the end! and due to this the ECU will add some extra fuel due to the IAT compenstation within the ECU map.
Got A GTM With A Honda In the Back, and huge Nitrous bottle where the passenger seat should be when racing!

Yes you cab Alex on and mini with an SU carb. I appreciate I don’t know what I’m talking about compared to you, as I’ve only have and proven the power of my car at the 200 + bhp level for years, and run it on the track a few times giving ok times and speeds.
Best 1/4 mile 13.2 seconds @116 mph

Hi Matt is there a spec for your motor anywhere on the interweb or is it top secret? If something is worth doing, it's worth doing half of. |
