p.s. I also thought about heat shielding stock airboxes, so it would be nice to know if it makes sense |

Maybe that's why I'm struggling with it...i am only qualified for rocket science.
Iirc, what Steve is talking about there is the reason for ducting. Heat transfer through the plastic is small, but you are picking up hot air at the inlet. Shielding won't help with that. |

Yes, I have. My data logs were posted, but the thread was removed after I was accused of being a z hater for posting iat temps. If I have time, I will pull them up and pm you.
Long story short, you suck in hot air. The tuning wall does not heat up on the interior even after reasonable time idling (obviously at 15 minutes plus, everything is heat soaked). Even them, I speculate that it's primarily due to hot air coming in. Post maf tubes that were notably better insulators saw mild improvements, but not as Much as youd expect given the extra insulation, lending credence to that theory. |

If I come to ZDayZ would you be able to measure the difference between my IAT's and those for someone else with G3's? Just would like to see if the heat wrap is actually doing anything.
