* Ait Sensor Relocate * Hope This Helps

hey man i just did the AIT relocate i used the stock one, i removed the blue connector from under the UIM and put in a 12mm or 14mm bolt in it, i cant remember but its one of those. cut the old wire from the connector and splice,solder and shrinkwrap it and use electrical tape to my new 20G wire, thats what i used and i used black wire loom. dont just use electrical tape. then i ran it near the map sensor were it says boost sensor i cut it so it wouldnt be to long, then i bored a whole with a 3/8th drill bit under my greddy elbo,about 2 inch from the end of the mouth of the elbo, it kinda curvs a lil so i used a rubber washer to take care of that, if you have a stock one i think it might work, i belive the AIT sensor is a 10mm, make sure you get all the shaving out, i used liquid teflon around the threads place it in, made sure all was tight and good started the car and looked at the datalogit and it read 30 at idle so i have not yet tried it out at WOT or on the rd yet but ill let you know i know this is kinda shabby but it will give you an idea, if your stock sensor is good why buy another hope this works for you man

HEY neit its just another good reliabilty mod, just that the connector sits under your hot uim and im sure its not giving you a true reading, when it comes to AIr intake temps, on a hot day your air is thin so if im not mistaken you kinda go into a lean state, and the same if its cold, you get more fuel when its colder so less chance of it poping

first off, it's not really a reliability mod. there are different opinions about where the better location for the air temp sensor is and no definitive conclusion.

second, on hot days air is "thicker" and more difficult to compress which is why turbo charged cars feel faster and perform better in cooler weather.

third, differences in outside air temps by itself rarely cause a lean condition. rich/lean conditions are more a function of how much fuel is being injected into your motor. that is the real simple explanation. to really learn about it go out to google or yahoo and do some research. i think grassroots motorsports might have some accurate articles.

thanks for the effort on your writeup. the thought and enthusiasm is cool but there is a lot more to it that you stated. one last thing - no offense - it was a pain in the *** to read your freaking post.

When the air temp sensor gets heatsoaked, it is possible that in cold weather the cold air coming in requires more fuel than the ecu is giving it at that time. thus, you get a lean and dangerous condition for the motor.

You actually have it backwards. The stock AIT temp corrections in the ecu provide too much fuel when its hot and too little fuel when its cold.

BTW, I have done the AIT relocation. Mine is relocated to the IC outlet. Do you have a PFC or other standalone that allows you to change the AIT temp settings?

hot air is thinner or less dense, cold air is more dense thus "thicker". when air is hot, a given boost pressure will give you a certain mass of air that is less than if the air was colder. More mass of air requires more fuel and provides more power, that's why cold air is better for power... Do I make sense?
