b_have Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Spent the day map tweaking and noticed on the datalog that my AITs are steady at 14C even at 1.7bar (ambient was 11C). Only time it climbs a little is when waiting in traffic, but then only hits 16C. My Ait sensor is pre meth-inj, so should be even lower on boost. I have a thermal block gasket between the mani and head and the mani is barely warm after a hard pull. Anyone else have a single ait log handy?

Ryan.G Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 (edited) Glad the lessons with Fc-datalogit are working alright chap I have loads of logs what you after? Wierd how it didn't rise much in traffic. Most supra get into the 30-40's in traffic in winter measuring at the stock location. If your sensor is in the intercooler pipe then the sensor wont heat soak in traffic but the temps in the manifold will still go up.a Be interesting to see your temps in the stock location..

JamieP Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Thats great, where did you get the thermal gasket mate? and what ic is yours and what are your egt's at cruise? Mine sits around 30c most the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan Lessons were great Also, many thanks for setting up the full screen display, works great while driving. The sensor is in the intercooler pipe just before the throttlebody. I was suprised how cool the plenum felt (barely warm) after a hard pull, the thermal barrier must be doing the job. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mine sits around 30c most the time. I bought it from an e-bay (USA) a couple of years ago. Looks very similar the one Pauls found. I think the most important thing is the cold airbox I built below the headlight.It is completely sealed from any heatsource and (in the dry) is ram fed from the front duct.I think the fmic is an ARC unit, it is fully ducted to the Stillen nose. EGTs are around 1100F (old money:() on cruise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jevansio Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Def going to duct my new FMIC, also want a cold air box along the lines of UK-Rich's. I have some logs from the stock air intake sensor, where exactly does it read from & how accurate is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ryan.G Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 BTW i would definatly be in for a Group buy on a phenolic gasket for the supra if anyone can source. Will work wonders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 What are they made out of Paul? Ideally wants to be phenolic Ryan for the price Ryan i'm going to have a look, in my previous employ we had sheets and sheets of phenolic we used to insulate stinking hot injection mould tools with, but now i would have to buy it we have a cnc miller at work but it would take time setting up to make one, the easy way to do it would be with waterjet cutting but that doesn't cope well with composites so for 27 bucks i'll have a look and post up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

paul mac Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 gasket turned up early last week but i've been away with work, looks pretty good and from working in the plastics industry for 18 years in a past life i am about 90% sure its polypropylene :)which is good but theres a 10% chance its polyethylene which isn't that bad but not as good:(, polypropylene is a pretty good heat insulator, not as good as thermoset phenolic which has a far higher heat range (the temps our cylinder heads see its not an issue) but not far off, in conclusion looks a pretty good product fits well (slight trimming needed) and will definately reduce intake manifold temps, anyone got any insulated washers while we're at it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve Posted April 14, 2009 Share Posted April 14, 2009 Fitted my thermal gasket at the weekend, so far it seems to have had a very positive effect. Will update when i have driven the car a little harder Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paul mac Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 the only slight critism i would have is, if you look at the second pic i posted you can see the gasket follows the line of the original gasket, this means you have a void when the manifold is bolted up ie a 4mm gap all the way round, so the manifold to head joint is not a smooth transition, maybe this could cause a bit of turbulence in the intake, how relevant on a turbo engine this is i dont know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swampy442 Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Bumping an old thread, does anyone have a link to a supplier of similar gaskets? TIA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispot Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 what i am going to do is buy some tufnol / phenolic sheet and make my own, you could use a router to cut to the same shape as inlet gasket or mod slighty to fit better, another idea would be for someone to make one then using router to cut more then sell on here? have put link in below hope it works as i know good as computers, regards chris. ps what thickness are they nomally http://www.directplasticsonline.co.uk/TufnolSheet/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Posted April 17, 2010 Share Posted April 17, 2010 Or you could speak to Mike at Ferriday, he will sort them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
