AIT readings

[Mad_Trbo]

Curious to know what you guys are getting for AIT readings.

On this build I moved the AIT sensor from the air filter to the intake plenum. I am seeing a pickup of almost 30 degrees in temperature. Does that seem to make sense, and I am noticing a higher degree of fluctuation in temps which makes sense.

If the car sits idling the temps rise much quicker than they did with AIT in the filter. This makes sense to some degree. I suppose the air has less velocity and therefore more contact time with surroundings and therefore absorbs or picks up more heat.

I would think the sensor is picking up heat from conduction. I seen same changes when I moved mine.

Got it so you are saying the temp rise when sitting still I from conduction. But I should be ok once moving?

Mine is anywhere from 80-110 degrees in the plenum, then alky brings it down to 45-55 deg F.

Good information. I mine seems realy high @ 130 but I need to spend more time with it.

thanks

mine at 25psi is around that same temp...stock location stretch here...

Good temps for a front mount.

Your temps actually aren't bad at all for a SLIC.
