hi fellow tsikoteers & gurus. i'd like to seek advise and insights sana from you guys regarding heat soak sa engine bay ng car ko. my ride is a '99 civic vti a/t.

let me start my story last may 1 when i purchased simota stainless tube & air filter that replaces my stock air intake. ok naman po ang performance, lakas ng hatak and my FC seems to have improved also. now after almost 2 weeks of using it at nasubok ko sya sa long drive/hataw/traffic sa kainitan ng araw, i noticed tumaas ang temperature ko kahit kinabitan ko na ng heat shield. naging 3/4 from the normal half, tinabi ko muna at pahinga ng mga 15mins then ok na ulit. minsan pauwi nako, naging 3/4 then mabilis na mag full na -pahinga ulit ilang minutes, hehe. so in my case, hindi ko na po hinintay na tumirik ako dahil dito.

my question po sa inyo, how can i possibly improve this situation so that i won't experience this heat soak problem anymore? kaakibat na po ba talaga ng mga nag upgrade ng stainless tube/air filter ang heat soak?

thank your very much!
