cold air feed
anyone over here sell pipe for a cold air feed? been watching my temp gauge for ages and get 30-40 degrees at the filter when its cold outside and well over 60 when its warm so i think its about time i tried to cool it down a bit since i did decide to fit a big k&n

Re: cold air feed
I used to use the yellow soak away hose that farmers and gardeners used, nice bright colour cheap as chips to get and does the job it's supposed too. Admitedly it's not to everyones taste and might be a bit agricultural but for me it's function over form and I never see below the bonnet whilst driving lol.

Re: cold air feed
You monitoring through your Simtek? If so you shouldn't be reading it from the air filter/MAF location. It needs measured between the IC and TB for your muliplier tables. I can't see a temp sensor in your pic so are you sure it's measured at the filter? Who fitted your Simtek?
Are your high temps when driving or idling? A cold air feed will do nothing at idle. Once you start driving your temps should be around 10* higher than ambient with that setup.

Re: cold air feed
I've a separate display I can read temps from mate, was going to fit a cold air feed just to see if there's actually any need for one like if it cools the ambient temp down but if the temp at the throttle body changes or not

Re: cold air feed
I don't know how much difference it would make once moving, you will probably get more benefit from the TB coolant bypass mod.

Oh aye that was well taken out of it when I reversed the manifold

Re: cold air feed
Here's the gauge I'm using, when it snows the intake temp doesn't get above 0, I'll have to figure the intercooler spray out with the simtek as I can watch the intake temps drop 15-20 degrees at times when it rains

Re: cold air feed
Looks similar to a PSI 3. Where is the temp probe its taking its reading from?
The water spray control through the SimTek is simple, do you know what your SimTek model number is? If you get me number I will let you know which wire goes to ground for it to work, then you simply remove the ground from the IC spray timer switch and replace it with the wire from the SimTek and fit an auto spray switch in place of the manual switch. Change your water spray settings and when you hit the preset values it auto activates.

Re: cold air feed
Nice one mate cheers I've a picture of the number somewhere, my car didn't come with intercooler spray so I've only a manual button but if the ecu goes to ground I'm sure wiring through a relay to the washer pump would work. The intake sensor isn't in the piping since I reversed the manifold but I had it in the pipe just before the throttle body and the ambient sensor is coming out of the inner wing beside the air filter, I've also an exhaust temp to fit but I'll weld a bung in for that when I'm fitting the wideband

Re: cold air feed
Found the ecu number it's E1S97.0939
