Heatwrapped Intake

[failshift]

There are different opinions on what this will do. Whether it will trap the heat. Or help. So I'm going to test. At the worst I'm
Out $20. Before the blower/headers made so much heat under the hood it was raising my ambient temp reading and the IAT way over that. With just the headers. I was able to pull 1:1 ambient/IAT


Now with the blower it was much much higher. And I'm sure the LSX block won't help either. So i heatwrapped the tube. The CAI Inc is already a GREAT intake. And is crazy good at keeping the temp down. I just have too much for the ceramic coat to handle (I will be doing a good vent soon as well, to actually address the issue instead of cover it)



Tired of waiting trying to make it dry faster

Baked for 30min at 200* and the inside the tube metal
Surface was 114. And the outside was 100 flat

I've pondered something like this..... Wondering what high boost IAT will look like compared to ambient.

Been wondering if something like this would work for hot Texas summers. Already have hood on order to get rid of some heat but need more help. Keep us updated

i just dont see how this will help since the heat is formed after the blower..

Because the engine bay is super hot because of the headers and the blower.

Do you have the ADM scoop for your CAI?

Apex yes

I wouldn't expect to see much change due to the coating the cai intake tube has and since you have air flow coming from a apex scoop vs the stock cai location but I definitely will be waiting to see your results good luck

Yea, I'm in for the results, but willing to bet all you'll notice is lower temps while idling. Driving down the road, I doubt will make any difference since your utilizing an air scoop.

Curious since I'm still waiting on my intake to come back.

I heat wrapped the intake on my last car. It had a 2.0 turbo and the heat wrap made a huge difference, but I needed reflective tape over the heat wrap to really make it work well. The heat wrap kept ambient heat out and prevented heat soak, and the reflective tape kept the radiant heat from the flaming snail at bay.

Yes it appeared to help. Before I wa generating so much heat it was messing up the ambient. Now the ambient is spot on. It's moved back into the threshold of 1:1 while moving. And still kept it respectable while sitting at the light. I would say worth the $20 definitely.

Glad that worked out, thanks for updating
