Heat and Turbo Lag Issues?

[wanted33]

I'll take 116 with dry heat any day over 90 with 80% + humidity! One of my first trips out here it was 108 and when I landed back at Bradley in CT it was only 84 but really humid. I almost turned around right there and got back on another plane headed back here.

Both are tough to deal with but at least when it's dry you're not soaked just walking outside. You might feel like your skin is going to burn off your body though. ?

We're into those 90 degree's with 75% humidity in North Carolina now. Hell, I can start sweating just thinking about sweating.

Oh, and I forgot. Our damn pre-historic mosquito's are flying. Them suckers will gang up on you in a skinny minute, drain you dry, and laugh at you when flying away.

That's another bonus out here, it's to dang hot and very little water for most skeeters to live. Some years after a wet winter we'll get some in the spring but they usually die off come summer or smarten up and head somewhere cooler. lol

My wife and I visited Phoenix a number of years ago- we went outside around 10pm, it was pitch black, and still 110 degrees outside. Yikes!

But I hear it's a dry heat.

It is. ?

What people fail to realize typically an upgraded intercooler normally allows for better and consistent IATs. Your not gonna see much lower than stock but it can handle more heat thus stave of heatsoak longer.

You can also buy those Ford replacement side vents to vent hot air out of the compartment. They say non functional but the are. You can feel the hot air come out of them. Cheap investment

You can always buy the water spray kit for a Subbie. Finding a place for the water tank isn't easy, but you do have a bed! How much does it help? Depends on the ambient, but here in Roswell, NM where it is dry, it works fairly well if you remember to fill the water tank.

The information on that web page says “Non-functional vents replace the factory fender vents.”

As I said above it says non functional but hot air does come out of them. This is at a stand still. So I'd assume with airflow from the front it would be moreso when moving. So I'd say it is functional. I'm not the only one who says this. Search them.

I get that they look different. I like the look, and would buy a set immediately if they had a chrome version to match the rest of my truck. Still, even if you completely removed the “non-functional” vent and drove around with a gaping hole in the fender, what percentage of hot air from the engine bay do you think would exit through the fender hole instead of the gigantic opening below and behind the engine? How much hotter would the engine bay get if you completely plugged the fender hole (like nearly every car since pressurized cooling systems were invented) and relied only on the gigantic opening below and behind the engine? My guess says the difference would be too small to measure.

They look alot cleaner, being heat also comes out is a perk. But you prob drive a factory truck because what's the point of modding anything. Chrome belongs on a boomer 90's truck. ? You don't like them don't buy them. Nobody is forcing you ?

Body shaming is considered inappropriate these days, surprised a moderator hasn't intervened, I'm not ashamed of my chromed body and I am a baby boomer
