Is there any evidence that painted EFI intake tubes will make the engine run hotter/cooler depending on the color?
Over at 914 groups someone posted that when he painted his intake tubes black the engine ran 20* hotter. So if you paint the tubes a light color (reflective, not absorbing heat?) it will run the same or, cooler? I have seen nicely detailed engine bays where the plenum and intake was painted the body color. Could this be a functiional mistake? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
