I have an IAT sensor in the intake tube logged thru the EGR position. Mainly wanted it to see CAI effectiveness and comparing pre-compressor temps to post-intercooler temps (IAT used for engine management).

Other temp sensors I have, which are logged thru external sensor positions on MVPI Pro, are in the A2W coolant system, which may be a good use for your thermocouples. You may gather some surprising data on efficiency of the system.

 

I am doing the same thing!

 

I'm planning on using this one, https://www.bmotorsports.com/shop/pr...oducts_id/5123

It has different sized contact options so I can run bigger wires through if I want.

 

Either of you find an intake that actually works as advertised? I’ve been told to leave my aluminum tube with conical filter alone. It just hangs out next to my headers is all. I can’t believe the banks isn’t any good but that’s what I’ve been hearing.

 

I haven't done any testing on any intakes. I will feed my Procharger from a semi-sealed box that occupies the same space as the factory air filter box

I figure it's never going to get cooler air than that


I have read several published white papers from OEMs that getting within 10-15° of ambient is the best you can reasonably hope for with an intake under the hood

Over the header intake is probably a little toasty tho lol

 

Since I had to move intake to the driver side for the KB inlet, I built my own. Original was a conical filter with a 'heat shield' that basically drew in underhood air. Current is a four sided box open to the front behind the headlight. At a stop, IAT1 will creep up a little as the box is not completely sealed from underhood air but soon as the truck starts moving, there is enough pressure in the box to keep the hot air out and IAT1 are pretty close to ambient. It is fairly crude made out of sheet metal and filter size is a bit limited. I have ideas of remaking with a 5" tube (current is only 4") and make a floor in the same area behind the light so to place a longer filter vertically.
