Fast reacting IAT sensor to replace stock sensor
I did a little searching on here and google, inwhich a thread popped up on the other forum checked it out guess back in 2008 guy had some IAT sensors that out performed the stock IAT, but that guys websites are down. I run PFC any advise on where to get fast reacting IAT sensor?
Thanks

Wannaspeed spells the IAT and pigtail adapter that makes it plug and play.
Mine so far is running great in the stock location, didn't even relocate it to the elbow.

Pretty sure I remember reading about dudemaan running it in the stock location and not having heat soak. I decided to run mine in the same (stock) location and haven't noticed any problems, but then again my UIM and a lot of other stuff is ceramic coated so that might have a lot to do with it.

this is his site: http://wannaspeed.com/index.php?main...roducts_id=180
says it's sold out though. It's an IAT sensor off some Triumph motorcycle and it uses a regular Bosch EV1 electrical connector.

+1, im going to be running mine in the stock location... i spoke to my mechanic about it and makes perfect sense... Even "if" it heat soaks, that means the UIM is head soaking as well. moving the sensor will give you a "cooler'' reading, and we both agreed we prefer to know what the high temp is and what the temp is right before it goes into the engine hope that makes sense...

Some people move it because if you are injecting water upstream of the stock location your ait's will drop and the correction map will alter fueling. If you put the sensor before the AI nozzle then your tune is unaffected and you are utilizing water solely for knock suppression and combustion chamber cooling.

Im assuming the heat soak that is heat soaking the sensor is heat soaking the UIM therefore heat soaking both...
It would cause inaccurate readings if it was heat soaking just the sensor but im assuming its not...

What I have found is when the UIM and sensor becomes hot due to engine radiation and conduction especially idling at a stoplight in Florida (in my case) the fuel map skews to the temperature of the UIM and sensor rather than air temperature. It is also very noticable in the car's idle and tip-in conditions. I have validated this on my Datalogit / laptop.
I would think the criteria for having one would center around aftermarket ECU and specific tuning parameters.
