On mine Aek. I guess you have 500cc on me though so that should help a bit!

I did some data logging the other day - the TMIC actually cools down ridiculously fast once you start moving. Like 10 degrees in the space of a few seconds, and this is with a useless Liberty scoop...

Sounds like you could use a fan on the TMIC. Give it some flow at low speeds and when waiting for the green

Waterspray came standard on STi rex's (did on my my06)

Not sure if its still around, but HIRISK did a bit of data logging and resolved a lot of "heat soak" issues with a scoop pushing cool air to the airbox setup he had

IIRC within ~20 mtr intake temps were back to normal.

edit: but then again, he also switched to FMIC.

I did something different on my lib... Got a 3" 100degree pvc elbow and lipped the opening to give it a trumpet affect... Dont really know if was just as affective but I'm guessing it was better than not having it at all as it was raming the air in

I was actually thinking exactly the same thing the other day to be honest. Should be enough room under there to fit one...

Waterspray is only useful with air movement, so there'd still be a fair bit of heat soak when you first start moving.

I read an autospeed article not to long ago about waterspray kits and they found that heatsoak was gone within 20m after havin a squirt before taking off

So you're telling me, if you spray water onto a heatsink made of warm metal (aluminium - whatever it's made from) that it won't cool it down significantly pretty much instantly?

Also in the same article they said on a warm day stick ur finger out the window when stationary then wet ur finger then stick it out the window again, ur finger will be cooler

No, I'm saying its not going to make as big a difference as if there was air passing over the water.
