ZZP intercooler kit but higher AITs
So I just installed my ZZP intercooler kit and my AIT with the stock intercooler and piping was about +/- 6 degrees, now with the ZZP kit I'm at about 30 degrees over intake temps... I don't get it.
Why?
Why?

Couple possible things:
1. Are you using both the stock intercooler and the ZZP front mount? Or did you take out the stock intercooler?
2. Did you get the air out of the system? It takes forever BTW if you don't have an Option B.

Me too! That's what I am puzzled about, I am surprised yours are 30 degree over with aluminum charge pipe!? I am on OTTP mild steel charge pipes which is about 15 degree over but when I am driving it dropped down very fast!
WHAT!? He's LNF! Not LSJ! LOL!

One your going from plastic to aluminum and plastic dissipates heat faster, two their end tanks are cast which take longer to heat up but longer to dissipate heat and 3 the pipes are powdercoated which is a big heat retainer but it looks better and protects against corrosion. The difference matters mostly when your driving or at wot.

The temps seen in the rpd come from the same exact sources that would be seen in a log tough guy. So yes, it's as accurate as you could hope to get assuming his sensors are good and reporting accurately.

From using the pipes as a heat exchanger it makes little different (Padlock and I had a discussion in another thread, google plastic heat exchangers) the fluid extracting the heat (air) is a poor fluid for heat removal, so the differences between plastic and metal are insignificant.
What is important is all the air damns GM originally installed, if you miss or don't re-install one it will effect the temp recover.

I was thinking that. I mean sometimes my intake temp is lower than ambient... But that's because I have just started the car and then started driving which I think is when you are supposed to go by the temps not just after starting the car right?
