TurbochargedBerserker Posted November 8, 2004 Report Share Posted November 8, 2004 I finished my IAT relocation this weekend. I ended up putting it in the intake tube right in front of the TB. The guys at the local dealership (where I went for the pigtail) advised against putting it in the manifold as I wouldn't get "a clean air reading" and since I didn't have a spare manifold if they were right, I just did the tube thing. Its pretty cool so far. My meth kit can drop my IAT in a hurry... About 10 degrees in a few seconds (and with more optmization tuning, much more I'd think). Sitting in the drive way hitting the test button, I got the IAT a few degrees under ambient (of course no boost, but still...) The electrical part was super easy. I cut the IAT wires in the stock harness and used two butt connectors to attach the new pigtail ($23 from dealership) and plugged it in. I also took the time to remove the MAF altogether and redo the MAF wiring in case I plug it back in. To make tuning easier with a MAF, I installed a plug on the sender wire (yellow one) so in the future I could just unplug the sender. I also bought a stock grommet for a 96 V8 from Chevy and used that in the air tube with some silicon around the grommet base and covering the grommet / sensor seal. Works like a champ. The worst part was shifting all my intake tubes around to accomodate the MAF going on the garage shelf... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zippy Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 going SD again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 going SD again? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. These are just the pic from when I relocated the sensor. I am still using this sensor (so I get the IAT after the meth). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BenKey Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 So that sensor just runs to a gauge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurbochargedBerserker Posted December 12, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 So that sensor just runs to a gauge? <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Nope. It is the only IAT sensor connected -- runs the PCM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pwrtripls1 Posted December 12, 2004 Report Share Posted December 12, 2004 Thats a pretty sweet idea. So why didnt you just move the whole MAF to the TB and let it read that way? Hurry up and get some track times with that T70. I want to see what it'll do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
