Well I think I found the issue. I am a bit embarrassed but this is life of the technically challenged. I swear I checked this before but I found the vacuum line blew off the bypass valve. The valve should be open at idle and explains why the temperature would rise at a rapid rate during my idle test. I zipped tied the hose and did a test last night. It made a big difference and the car ran perfect. The temperatures are still higher than what I would like as I don't feel the sensor reading is a fair representative of what is going into the intake manifold. I really feel placing the sensor in the aftercooler like CT did is the best location. Does anyone know if the CT aftercooler could be swapped in for the SOS aftercooler? I suspect the fitment would depend on how similar the mounting of the supercharger is. I guess the other option would be to mod the existing aftercooler. I think I saw another thread where someone did this. On the other hand I suspect the supercharger heat is reflective of oil temperature. Perhaps an oil cooler would help keep the supercharger temp down and the sensor placement in the air intake tube may become less of an issue.

 

Modify your existing aftercooler if you wish to relocate your IAT. I did this just last week.


Also, in my opinion the oil temps have nothing to do with blower case temps. There's so little oil (volume) going into the blower that it won't make any appreciable difference in overall temps. The blower gets hot, period. It's a large heat generator.

 

No worries at least you found the problem.

Its easier to just relocate the iat sensor to after the intercooler. The sos aftercooler is larger as well i beleive. (Ive never measured this).

Take the aftercooler off and do what 99sh did. Or cut some of the output pipe on the aftercooler. Purchase an additional silcone hose and put a pipe with a bung on it for the iat between the aftercooler and throttle body.

I moved the sensor.



It made a huge difference. So much that I now need a retune.

 

Does the car feel much better?

At this point I feel like by having mine in the intake manifold I am losing throttle response and good amount of power.

 

How hard was it to move to the aftercooler?

 

How did you end up mounting it? Weld a bung, run a tap or ?

 

bump?

 

Drilled a hole and used a rubber grommet. It's tight and no leak. I see 13ish psi and my IAT's are half what they use to be.

 

I just checked my logs. My IATS seem to stay constantly 20 degrees over ambient. My IAT is in the intake elbow.

I guess I don't have the same issues with heat for some reason.
