Unless you are running ice water through the intercooler the intake manifolds air temps will not drop below the ambient temp.Wesman07":34n2mufe said:Is there any reason to monitor an intercooling system? Can your intake temps get too cold with fuel injection?
I agree...You can never have too much data...Did not want to spend the extra money on the dominator, but I did not want to run out of inputs.pmuller9":87f0ck1s said:Unless you are running ice water through the intercooler the intake manifolds air temps will not drop below the ambient temp.Wesman07":87f0ck1s said:Is there any reason to monitor an intercooling system?

Second, there is almost no such thing as too cold with gasoline. The cooler the air, the denser it is, more torque and power.
A good example would be Buddy Ingersoll's Pro Stock Turbocharged Buick V6 using a liquid nitrogen intercooler in 1986.
It is never a bad idea to monitor the intercoolers inlet versus outlet temps. You will learn a lot.

Any advice on intake design? Or a good reading reference? It’s not easy to find information on intake design for boosted applications. The only thing I did read was that the pulse wave is not affected by pressure, but it is affected by temperature. I find this believable because a cold two stroke won’t “get on the pipe”. The same principles should apply.
I would like to shorten the manifold up if reasonably possible.
