AI DC Heat Strips
Found some in various sizes that can be installed inside the airbox to bring the AIT up faster.
I want to be able to bring my AIT up much faster than just ambient transfer from the engine. I only have a 5.5 mile trip to work and my car is much better when the AIT is 100F+, but unless I modify the set up drastically, I won't be able to get lots of heat quickly.
It would seem these 'flexible strip heaters' would be perfect, instead of trying to come up with a 'hot wire' grid inside the airbox.
The way my car is set up, the intake is on the front of the motor and the exhaust is on the back side. K&N makes a kit for it that actually puts the air intake just above the exhaust, but after initial warmup I was thinking the AIT might get TOO hot.
The flexible strips come in lots of size/watt ratings and should be easy to mount in the airbox.
What say ye?
