Underbonnet Temp

[donkey]

hey just wondering where where abouts the temp gauge is in the engine bay for the power f.c? im guessing it should be around the air filters? my car is noamally 40degC in engine bay with outside temp about 25degC driving car at 80KPH, do you guys agree with the call on 'for every 1deg of air temp drop 1% increase of power at the flywheel'? if so would be good to get some cold air around the old pod filters, maybe thats why the cold air box can be better for performance? any thoughts.........

Theres an intake temp sender inda plenum of a BNR32, a plug near the front.

40 is actually not bad for a GTR's engine bay

I'm not really sure of what you mean by engine bay temperature ? I would have thought that the inlet air temp was shown but this is probably not going to reflect greatly on the temp in the bay - intercooling .

Have I missed something or do GTR's/PFC's do things differently to GTST's ? Yes I know about the IAT sensor .

Cheers A .

sorry wasnt sure if the temp sender was in engine bay or another part of intake/engine

The temp my Power FC reads is Water temp and thhat runs at round 84 - 87 degrees, sumtimes up to 89 on a hot day at idle. Didnt know the Power FC reads any underbonnet temps.

hmmm, yeah was just thinking that your pods are drawing hot air to the intercooler then into the engine, of course the intercooler will cool it, but if they where drawing colder air into intercooler (say 20deg cooler outside engine bay) this would boost performance (colder air denser etc)????? what you think?
