IAT?

[95PGTTech]

Anyone see anything wrong with drilling a hole in a silicone coupler and putting the IAT there?

I have no idea where to put this thing... i dont have enought intake pipe in the fender to put it there unless i cut about a 2'' section and weld a bung to it.


thanks,
Adam

as long as it doesn't fall out i think it will be fine. i had mine screwed into the fenderwell for years without any problems.

how soft and how thick is the silicone? i would just be worried about introducing a vacuum leak.

Decent hose techniques coupler.

i was going to drill it small coat it with rtv and thread it in.

Did you have it in the intake tract? or just hanging out inthe fenderwell?

Just thinking out loud, if he mounted it near the filter, not neccesarily in the tract somewhere, would that work? Its measuring intake air right, what goes in the filter should be the same as a few inches down the inlet tract...maybe?

Not trying to re-invent the wheel, just thinking out loud...maybe save drilling a hole...and, I'm gonna be making a new inlet tract soon also...

Yup just measures the air temp in the intake. I dont see a reason why it wouldnt work unless it needs a large volume of air flowing over it.

its normally pretty close to the filter anyway...

can't say i'm an expert, i just know thats how it came when i got the car. I've since put it into the intact track and haven't noticed a difference. I can't imagine its that much of a difference. I didn't have it hanging there, it was actually threaded through the fender well into the wheel well area.

Shouldn't be a problem. If you are using a PVC inlet pipe, you can just screw it into that.

Even better, drill and tap it into that.

I really dont want it in the engine bay. there is no room in the fender. anything wrong with just leaving it tired up in the fender.

Like i said Adam, i didn't have any problems with it not being in the intake track
