Experimenting with Intake Air Temp. Request for comments.

Stock, but not Nissan. My "suspension guy" said he would get as good or better than OEM and I trust him. I do some occasional spirited driving, but seldom hard on the brakes. Defensive driving FTW.

Maybe. But the heat from the oil cooler is right in front of the radiator. When stopped, I don't think there would be any improvement without relocating the filter box inlet location (eg, using tubing as above). Something to look at during phase two.

Great idea, but waayyyy beyond the scope of this project. I'm hoping to limit heat gain from the engine compartment and then I'll probably do one of the CAI DIYs above (depending on how well insulation works). An oil cooler is a possibility much later on.


Wow! Lots of great input. Thanks. Now I need to get some insulation, find a thermocouple, and figure out the best place to locate the t/c. No rest for the wicked.
