hi all and a merry christmas
right i have fitted an act guage on my series 2 mfi lump standard valves and a piper t2 with a airtec front mount i/c twin fans standard thermostat 83/85 c fan switch boost 12 psi and was wondering if any one else uses one on there car as i wish to know what your temps are
i know the weather is cold at the moment
my car runs temps like this
around east london moderate to mid range revs with alot of stop starts and stays around 17 to 22 degrees c ( thats london)
constant 70 mph 8 to 11 degree c outside temp 13 degree
constant 80 mph as above
constant 100 mph 10 to 12 degree c ( constant speeds obtained over a 2 mile distance from a constant 70 then up to 100, all readings where carried out over a 200 mile round trip and on the same day
temp probe is fitted between throttle body hose and charge pipe
after normal driving and the car left for half an hour temps are around 55 to 62 degree c and when driven again drop back well fast
i would like to point out alot of people want to know how the airtec performs to the trusted i/c used by most( pace , grs ect ect) also the airtec is not my first choice but it was on the car when i bought it and never gave me any trouble but looking at getting a grs soonish but may not if the airtec does the job but will see how it performs in the summer months
so if anyone has done a bit of testing on air charge temps i would love to know them with which i/c even if it is standard one
also is the any post on here which may help me to compare readings with different i/c setups
many thanks
mark
