Cold Air Intake Temperature Reading

[Doug Heald]

Yes I do , I have the CAI on now will it still create milky oil? Does oil seep by the valve?

Now you see what I’m talking about.



I went very lean with it outside the hood last year. Have a AF module or gauge to verify?

I haven't tried the external intake yet and no, I haven't hooked up the AF guage yet.

If you have the vent from the oil tank still hooked to the factory location, yes, it will inhale milky oil wether you have the ROV in place or not. Thats the way the system was designed, it takes the vent and puts it into the intake. Take off the CAI intake and look into the tube, there will be oil on the bottom of the intake tube going to the turbo. You will see a puddle of oil there in fact.

The problem is the k&N pulls air from all around it.....The CAI needs to be redesigned to suck air from nose/screen ONLY, which should be cold only. And will stop robbing all the air that is trying to cool clutches too.

Running big lakes all weekend, however ambient temps were minus 25c much of the time, the IAT gauge remained around 22f running constant speeds of 70-90mph on 5 to 10 mile lakes. Which is great, but mainly due to such cold weather. As Mike mentions milder days that goes up higher/faster....and WOT goes up MUCH higher/faster.

I think a play on the induction expander most all run at the radars, would work well, right up against the stock screen.

looking through parts on sidewinder, the turbo part # has been updated to -01

I ran today in lots of fine powder snow at -2 at start. My CAI temp was 28 to 33 it warmed up to 3 degree out and my inner cooler was completely plugged and my air intake was 47 to 52 degree on long hard pulls.

Just installed Rockerdans ROV mod today allittle tight with 5/8" fuel line, cleaned yellow milk out turbo tube. Plugged off bottom line, but left small line from air box alone, will this be ok?

 

[Mototown]

This needs to be plugged on intake , and the vent line off oil tank needs to be unobstructed out to running board

Where did you find the plug for the intake hose?

 

[Doug Heald]

I cut the 5/8" hose going into the turbo pipe under air box and left it about 4" long and plugged hose with a large bolt and clamped it, I cleaned out oil and moisture out of short hose before plugging it. I have not plugged off small line going into air box yet!

It was in garden sprinkler section at Lowe's .

I believe rnsr01 made a plexiglass box around his CAI so it only takes air from the front port. Not sure if he completed it though.
He also separately vented the clutches.
Maybe he can chime in with pics.

Of course he has NO miles on this set-up so there are NO results anyways.

Wanted give update on CAI temps. Broke trail for over 5 miles, then on to groomed trails and never stopped riding for 45 minutes. Of course, intake intercooler plugged full with ice and intake temps were 38 lowest to 50 degrees highest. Outside temp 30 degrees. Ill keep my CAI. I also havent removed the stock air intake plumbing underneath the hood.

 

[ROCKERDAN]

Re-designed my WAI to a CAI...lol

Also added an air chute, directed at clutches...

Will see how temps are riding Saturday.

Would a catch can work like my Mustang?
