Yin,
Are you sure about the intercooler? What your describing doesn't make sense to me. I think an A/A intercooler would at best lower IAT by 15-30 deg F. That's going to be dependent on PSI, Ambient temp, and air flow/ Vehicle speed.

You should still get something like this:


But your numbers should be lower, and your IAT (my yellow line) would be less pointy (because vehicle speed increases intercooler effect)

If your only seeing 20 deg higher than ambient, I would worry your not getting boost into the tube like maybe your bypass/BOV is diverting Boost.

Run some logging with the predator and see what your map is reading.
I didn't go with the intercooler because I have a large winch, and considering I expected lower boost numbers at my altitude (7500ft) I didn't think I needed it.

LOL - That all looks like Greek to me.
I have adjusted my BOV (per Ross) to 3-4 threads showing so it cranked it down and made it hold charge longer. Im just judging based off the intake air temp from the aeroforce gauge. This was not highway driving just around town in stop and go.

Am I reading right.... It shows your IAT(172.6) at 104deg higher than AAT(68)?

 

Ok that makes sense.
Not a lot of boost cruising around town, which is why we see the increase in MPG.

If your interested the predator will log all that stuff for you (well not everything). Then you can download it for analysis.

All that the above is showing is the relationship between boost and temp. As the boost pressure increases (MAP) the intake temp increases (IAT).

Yeah under Boost your gonna see much higher temps than ambient, even with the intercooler. It would be interesting to add a temp sensor before the intercooler to see how much heat it's shedding

 

Agree on the temp sensor before the intercooler. I dont know what underhood temps run but would like to know. I am trying to wrap my head around all this new info. I have logged some info with the Diablo but havent copied it over to the computer. There is a learning curve. I guess im just getting old.

 

Old... I remember the days when you would pull the plugs to see how to adjust your jetting/timing...
LOL

 

Y, 104 deg higher than ambient at 9 +/- psi of boost. But like you said the air getting into the SC is prob 20 deg higher than ambient.

 

hey YingYang,
i noticed from this pic that is looks like you didn't modify the upper heater hose. is this correct?? or did you modify it and not route it the way the instruction say to??

thanks buddy

 

I am getting the Generation 2 kit with intercooler installed on Monday! I will send pics later in the week.

 

I was all about the engine swap, but after spending the weekend checking these out i wanna go with this.... This is on the short list now

 

I'm with YOU!! Damn the HEMI swap now, I'd rather have the Supercharger and keep decent gas mileage and the power on command !
