The All About My 1980 Pontiac LeMans Station Wagon Thread...

Points well taken gentlemen.

You really didn't think I was done, did you?

[motorhead]

Finished it up this morning.  Kept the IATs between 75-85*F on the move - not bad for just a box fed from the cowl.

Nice!  Where do you have the IAT sensor located?  I moved mine to the plenum and with the heat soak, it gets up in the mid 100's F at cruise while low 90's ambient.

The IAT sensor is in that short section of straight pipe between the two silicone couplers.  I may move it closer to the filter/in the airbox to see if there is a benefit to keeping it away from radiant exhaust heat.

So does it seal to the hood?


The ram air on my bird is amazing.

Eventually?  I still have to order some NACA ducts and feed the box from the hood... until then it is really just a glorified heatshield.

it really is lol

What exactly is your point?

[Be4u]

I was pointing out that you wernt kidding.

[nocooler]

Did you put a drain hole in it so it doesn't fill up with water?

I was pointing out that you wernt kidding.

So you are making light of the thing that I already affirmed? Again, why?

[motorhead]

The trans dipstick tube is a good one for that... but the left and right rear corners are open.  I will add a hydrophobic sock over the filter to help prevent hydrolocking - and if I do it right water won't be directed at the filter (because fluids don't like to turn 90* when suspended in air).

[Be4u]

Cuz it made me giggle if you really want the truth.

We were back at T-Ball again tonight. One of these things is not like the others.
