In my drive home i got a consistand 30c on the airintake. So it is better then the pipes. But syill not as good as i want. Also i noticed that when the air intake temp is under 25/26 c, the water temp goes up from 88/90 to 95/96. I noticed it when i was on the 30c again, it is almost perfectly stable on both occasions, does anybody else noticed this on their cars?
So i want to take my coolant heater to the drawing board. And i want to make it so that it is controlled from inside the car with a knob. Or even by an thermostat. Also i want it to be simple, so everyone could make it and adept it to their liking. My basic idea is to measure the room i have availeble in the engine comprtment. And to make a box to those measurements. In this box i will bend copper pipe in an zigzag trough it. Then make 2 T junktions in the heater pipes to connect the box. Inside the box i will make a maze, so that the air passes the pipe the longest and attach it to the airfilterbox. I want to see how it performes and can add insulation to keep more heat in. If i have the time in the weekend i will start to measure and a mockup.
