While installing the supercharger on an AP1 Honda S2000, the stock air-box is removed and replaced with a short intake which mounts directly to the centrifugal supercharger. This replacement, however, moves the intake closer to the engine and near the exhaust. Does this mean the supercharger now has a hot air intake?

To find out, I'm using a temperature datalogger to monitor four air temperature positions on the car. I'll record temperature at the very front of the car, the front of the air intake, the back of the air intake (near the exhaust), and the top of the engine. And while the effects of warm air going through the intake are mitigated with an intercooler, it's still beneficial to introduce air as cold as possible into the intake. So just how hot is the intake air? Hit the link to find out!
