    Insulate intake?

    Thanks! I know some guys have removed the tape to pull air out of the fender and I was considering doing that myself - thanks for the info

    Insulate intake?

    Thanks for the pics! So you blocked off the hole on the side and are just pulling through the hole you made in the front? There's no advantage to opening the hole in the fender and pulling through the fender?

    Clean PCV reroute

    I was going to run a hose down to the frame on each side, but I didn't like how close the hose ended up to the exhaust on the passenger side so I ended up running them both down to the frame on the drivers side.

    Question: Windows 10

    Linux has made huge strides in the last 10 years in this regard. These days configuration and updates are pretty straightforward and easy. Remember the days when Linux didn't do PNP and all your hardware had to be configured manually?

    Question: Windows 10

    I declined my 'free' update to 10 after I read that 10 transmits all your information to the mother ship. I hate windows these days. I'll take Linux on days that end in Y. Unfortunately, not all programs I need will run on *nix. :mad:

    Interesting. I didn't know they had a post IC temp sensor...

    Insulate intake?

    Thanks for the info. Insulation probably not needed if we can draw cool air into the intake. :thumb: I want to try replacing my airbox with a Volant for an LBZ so then I'll essentially have a complete LBZ intake

    Insulate intake?

    LBZ's do have a larger radiator than the LLY's. Combine the smaller heat exchanger with the same lack of air flow and it's not a surprise the LLY struggles with heat rejection. Excellent post c20elephant, I think modifying the front to let more air through is a great idea, and you made it look...

    Insulate intake?

    Others have done testing and determined that holes drilled in the back of the hood don't help. Going down the road air actually gets sucked in through the holes as a opposed to drawing hot air out. LLY's being what they are, gauges are important so you can watch your EGT's and know when to let...

    Insulate intake?

    I use EFI Live to data log, and when I stop, you can watch the IAT skyrocket due to the heat under the hood. You don't even need to be towing to see this. When you get moving again the IAT comes down but will still be higher than ambient. The goal would be to get the IAT as close to ambient...

    Dude! I was going to post virtually the same product. This is the one I was looking at: https://www.amazon.com/Heatshield-Products-340020-Thermaflect-Shield/dp/B000QFN3DU/ Not sure if the 1.5" or 2" wide product would be better.

    Insulate intake?

    I've read that the PPE airbox mod doesn't really do anything - and for me especially since I have an LLY airbox still. I've installed an LBZ mouthpiece, so I've thought about getting an LBZ airbox but I'm not totally convinced it's worth it. As far as a tuner, I've got EFI Live, so there...

    Insulate intake?

    I'm considering doing something like this too. When slowing down or worse yet at a stop, the heat soak under the hood is incredible. The IAT climbs like crazy. I'd like to add some kind of duct or tubing to draw cooler intake air out of the fender or bumper and I think adding some kind of...
