cheers for your answers, i'll try to clarify a bit more
i have an electronic thermometer that i've managed to fit to just before the throttle body butterfly so i can see what intake temperature the engine is sucking in, this is on the 4age in the rolla.
The main reason i ask is that i can set the thing to alarm when a certain temperature is reached. now im not too concerned about temps in the rolla as they seem to be quite close to ambient, 2-5c above ambient when cruising or acclerating at WOT with my setup, but i am thinking more towards my next car, mr2 turbo and i wanted to do the same thing hook up the thermometer to the intake to make sure it doesnt get "too hot" so thats why i was looking for a number. The engine will be kept stock, and depending on intake temps, boost might be upped a couple PSI
CelicaRA45-> 50c? that sounds pretty low is ur car N/A or turbo?
so would you say setting a warning at 80c?
i'm not to worried about the loss of power with air @ 80c vs air@ 30c, but more interested in keeping detonation away
thanks for all the replies
