IAT relocation- different look
Friday, July 22, 2005 3:29 PM
OK i know, i know, been disscussed hundreds of times.

The IAT Sensor works best in the Intake and as close to the TB as possible.

SO, Hows this, 6" from the TB and in the air flow, car seems to run much better now.

not really in a direct stream....

also its so far away from the TB as you know.

closer to the TB, the more accurate it is....


seen that way done before by Guru, on carlos silvas car.... gas mileage was better once moved into the direct stream....2001 z24...

Its only temporary, And since my other engine, Currently being discussed in the maintance forum, its intake wont work, unless i chop it up. and thats something i dont want to do.


BTW, the "dryer vent" thing is solid plastic, Smooth on the inside, corrageted on the outside. Its made by spectra.

Bull Sh*t.

It's impossible that the dryer duct intake on your car is smooth on the inside.

Man, seriously, for the 8 bucks you spent on dryer ducting, you could have saved it to pay the shipping on an Ebay intake.

I bet that would add another 50 hp to your 900 hp Kia if you put it on there.

2) who the hell desided to add over 600 hp to my old car?

I've heard of SPECTRE.....

Alot of the home-made turbo guys around here run their piping and filters to stay under the $1500 mark!


N2O + Bolt-ons = 220Hp/250Tq

Coming Soon:HpTunersPro, EagleConnectingRods, WiescoPistons, 13sec2200

It's "misinformed"

Explain to me how dryer ducting is smooth on the inside...it's compressed in places, and the lining should be compressed too, so explain to me how the outside of the dryer ducting is flexed and has wrinkles without the inside wrinkling.

That comment was smartass, dumbass.

The shop is supposed to be funny, therefore, the entire pic is out of proportion and screwy looking.....you know, like those cartoons that you are watching right now. See how the animal's heads are bigger than they should be? That makes it funnier, somehow.

I bet that breather on top of your valve cover is a miniature supercharger too.

Like I said, explain to me how it isn't wrinkled on the inside, and I will admit defeat.....until then,
IT'S DRYER DUCTING

Well go out and buy a spectra ducting pipe. Look inside, hmmmm, its sleeved, kinda like an internal, cuttable sock, Slides in and smoothes out the flow.

Well it maybe more like a condom inside a vagina. The condom, except for the head is relatively smooth, and it serves its pupose quite well.

There's a Honda here in Gainesville, FL. that has done that, except is on a 1' tube going straight up from the hood. LOL.

Frank the Tank, do you play FFXI? There's a guy on there that has the same name.

Interesting set-up on the IAT in the filter like that.
I for one do not understand why the sensor has to be closerto the TB to make it more accurate. The sensor will only be as accurate as it can be regardless of where it is. I know the old saying too far away the air warms before getting in the motor, and you are adding more fuel then needed. Well first it will not add that much more fuel, not enough to hurt the motor.
Second why is it if you are boosted and your EGT's are high, and intake temps are high it is ok to cool them with fuel. Now if you are N/A and you add extra fuel (using this mod) your going to jack your motor up?? It is the same thing your adding fuel to hotter air, to cool charge. Now I will say if the air/fuel mixture is already rich then no need for extra fuel. I did this mod on my 97 Z24, but never done it on my 2001. I feel if set-up right could be a mod worht the same gains, but also need air/fuel readings to see what current air/fuel is.
