Air Temp Sensor Positioning For Standard Rb25 Piping

[Crans]

Got an adaptronic plugin ecu for my RB25, still using standard plenum and cooler to TB piping.

Where can I connect the IAT sensor? As im not running a BOV(BOV is still bolted on but is blocked) i was thinging of making a blanking plate for where the BOV sits and screwing the sensor in there.

Any one see any probles with that? Will it be too far away from the TB? Heat soak issues?

needs airflow,, just screw it into the cross over pipe just before the throttle body

Imrunning microtech and my air temp sensor I drill a hole a tad smaller than needed and tapped it to the correct thread I did this on crossover pipe about 10cm away from tb

[Crans]

Ok cool i though the metal would have been too thin to tap. Where the BOV is it would still get airflow to it.

Ill try tapping the pipe first i guess.

[luvpsi]

Why are you removing bov oem Bov is better than any aftermarket bov and it wouldn't get the best airflow

[luvpsi]

Sorry it won't get the best airflow if tapped in where the bob is

[Crans]

BOV has been blanked off due to no return in the intake pipe. I now have a return so the standard BOV will be plumbed in now that i know i can just tap the pipe.

[luvpsi]

yeah your best bet is to run stock BOV as its better than any aftermarket item yeah just tap it in it will be fine

Ahh! I stand corrected then, Thanks for clearing that up.

for clearing what up

[zebra]

he has done it in a few threads now...said exact same thing in all of them....seems a bit fishy lol

like a dodgy flamin mongrel trying to get his post count up out to pm people

[luvpsi]

Yes sounds a bit fishy as he has not posted in this thread until then and it's out if theblue

[Crans]

I will buy some thread tapping gear and reconnect the stock BOV. Just gotta do this wire in my map sensor and my new Adaptronic plug in is ready for a tune.

[luvpsi]

If you have not tapped a hole before I'd get your tuner to do it you don't want to stuff it and it leak

[Crans]

I've done it before just never metal this thin, also have a spare crossover pipe just incase. Will pressure test it aswell.

[luvpsi]

It's not actually to thin it's thinner at the joiner areas the rest is almost 10mm thick

[Crans]

What tap did you use? One i was supplied turned out to be slightly too small. drilled and tapped the hole fine damn sensor wont screw in

[luvpsi]

Depends on your sensor thread

[Crans]

m14x1.5

[luvpsi]

So the thread pitch you tapped is wrong only real way to fix it now is either helicoil or get a adaptor to make the size of sensor larger and make the hole bigger and retap
