just a quick question. has anyone seen or had dyno numbers with and without running an air filter. THIS IS FOR DYNO/TRACK PURPOSES ONLY!!!! i dont wanna hear how its stupid to drive around without a filter. almost everyone i see takes their filter off or always runs no filter on their setup for dyno/track runs

so am i getting that the stock box is better at keeping IAT down? does this convert to cooler EGTs? cause i still have a problem with getting to hot

 

@KATOOM i just finished my installing my 3 piece and new turbo and have only done one drive since installation, but i saw about 50-100* difference at all time. But one is also a mechanical and one from the adrenaline.

Basically if the pre-turbo temp goes up so does the post turbo temp,

 

Not much, if you average boost is 2 PSI. Way different if you running WOT and racing. Again we are talking daily driver. Not 1/4 mile track star. There is little to no effect. 

 

Not the same topic... But if you want to see some really wild IAT take a peek at my 1996 Dodge 1500 V8 5.9L it normal for about 150*F to 170*F gasoline engine no wonder I need 92 Octane with a Mopar Performance PCM. Cold air intake is in place but has much higher IAT... No intercooler... Funny though IAT can be traded they are the same sensor...

 

120 to 140*F on my diesel seems like child's play.

im talking about a track star though......

Then yes you are going to want to do a full cold air intake to keep the EGT's under control. I would put more effort into the intercooler though. Being that is the biggest factor in controlling IAT temps more so than cold air intake really. 

 

Here is that calculator for ya. Now you can see in theory how each affects the temperature at the intake.

"CAI" as in use the stock box, or i was thinking for track use removing headlight and routing a pipe there. and on the calculator what is inlet and outlet pressure?

Can you see pre-turbo IAT’s on a 2nd gen?

 

Low boost or high boost the temp of the air going into the turbo has a direct and very visible effect on the temp in the manifold. 

 

I’m always watching both IAT temps, and have been for many years.

So you're thinking that one or the other isnt as accurate?  Have you tried swapping the connections and seeing if you get the same results?

like i said i just put them on and have only driven it once so i havent had any time to play with them, but i would for sure believe that the back 3 is 50-100 degrees hotter than the front three. i was just mentioning one was electronic and one is mechanical.

 

on that same note. how many of you guys have noticed the adrenaline reads high on PEAK boost levels. i would always peak 60-63psi on my 62/68 but my mechanical gauge would peak about 55psi

I have a 50-100* difference between my adrenaline and my AutoMeter gauges. And my adrenaline always reads high for boost. Trust the analog gauges

Same here boost pressure is skewed above 20 PSI. Then EGT is about 50F high on the Quadzilla compared to my ISSPro EV2.

For my education, do yall have separate thermo couples for the quad and the gauge? Or do you share the same one?

pertinent to the point they run with no air filter so the air filter does not collapse in on itself and destroy the turbo even with my little 62 sxe I can see a difference in running a restrictive air filter to an open air filter in the crushing sense like I've seen people pull in them cheap Spectras and Destroy turbos with them running a 62 to 64

Well that makes me a little nervous. 

Meant to add on..I don't see a bhaf being sucked in.

It's really not that hard to find a filter that will work with most applications. Consider that 15L motors have air filters too, and they move a LOT of air. 

 

Just like fuel filters, if you do your research and size it properly there will not be a measurable restriction. 

The 62 SXE is a 75-80 lb/min turbo right? So that's roughly 1050 CFM at peak airflow, there shouldn't be any reason you cannot find a filter without a restriction for 1050 CFM. Even if the filter is rated for high restriction at 1050 CFM most the time that is only 8" H20, or .29psi of restriction.

lets talk 66 sxe. would there be considerable restriction with this?

If you are maxing that turbo out it's going to move around 1150 CFM. That's still a relatively small turbo as it's built on a 300 frame. 

 

At max airflow it's only a 56% efficient turbo, as compared to 77% in the middle of it's map. 

 

Look at it this way, my turbo is rated for up to approx 900 CFM and my air filter is rated at 675 CFM. I've never seen my filter minder move with my current intake setup, and it does work as I could move it with 100 less hp and a smaller OEM filter and a non-modified air box. My normal tune is 400 rwhp, but the tune I have in there now is likely in the 525 range.

Separate probes.

so what im getting from this is throw a BHAF on it and dont worry? even on the track? or remove for track use. i cant believe no one has dynoed with and without an air filter. ive searched for hours and cant find anything.

You can be first  

Not being a smart just maybe everyone thinks that that's how it's been done for ever and just take their k&n off and see an increase 

Makes you wonder why they still use k&n

I would research the BHAF you want to run and see what it's specs are. You might have to do a little shopping thou. 

 

Most people don't care what their numbers are without a filter as most wouldn't ever run without a filter.
