Yeah hard to be certain without having checked the configuration but it sounds exactly like the intake air temperature sensor is unplugged, which is an issue if air is based on a MAP sensor not the air flow meters....I would stay off boost if you don't know how it is set up as it is potentially an engine killer

Begs the question what intake air temperature are you running? Because for some models atleast (EG RB26 in an R32) it should be replaced with something less antiquated/faster responding.

  • Inlet Air Temp sensor (IAT) – From factory the GTR is fitted with an IAT sensor to the inlet manifold and this is supported by the G4+ plug-in. However for best results we recommend an alternative IAT sensor to be fitted to the intercooler pipe just prior to the plenum entrance.  This may use the existing IAT wiring or connect to the expansion connector of the ECU.

I got the oem inlet temp sensor

Yeah you can't run that if you're using speed density. It's the exact same part as the coolant temp sensor and is incredibly slow to react. In the OEM ECU all it's used for is to detect heat soak and enrich the mix as a result.

Why do you say that I cant use it when its been fine this whole summer on my new map with link ecu?

You can use it, you just shouldn't as Link state and djr81 posted up for you

It is electrically compatible but way too slow to react for proper tuning of quick load changes.

You aren't driving a cheap shitter of a car and an engine rebuild would be a substantial cost. $150 for the correct sensor is good value

If you want the long explanation, you need a fast-reacting IAT because in alpha-N or speed density you want to be able to know roughly the temperature of the air in the cylinder the instant the intake valve closes. This feeds into the ideal gas law equation which is then used to estimate the air mass in grams in the cylinder. The reason why the stock ECU doesn't need to use a fast-reacting IAT is because air mass is not calculated but measured directly at the MAFs. So it doesn't matter what the IAT is downstream, you already know the air mass directly. This applies to any MAF-based system.

I have researched a bit and came across a this "FAE 33166" https://www.autodoc.co.no/fae/2495306?gshp=1&gclid=Cj0KCQiA4uCcBhDdARIsAH5jyUkvDlPnJalva3nLNelUOFAsjmuzf8U95mQYbH0MUL_tlMm2kDCc6XkaAmHQEALw_wcB

Will this fit in the original location without modification and is it plug and play or do i have to re-tune the car with this new sensor?

The thread size is identical but as far as I can tell you will need a harness adapter. Keep in mind part of the reason why people relocate the IAT is that the stock position will heat soak so you will probably want an insulating washer on the IAT at least. Nissan deliberately put the IAT there because the goal of the original sensor was to detect heat soak and enrich the mixture in response.

Also, the "retune" will just be changing the temperature vs voltage calibration table in the tune.

I use the sensor mentioned on the Haltech Elite, they work well. Golebys and Platinum racing also sell them, but they are just the factory long reach metric M12 thread Hella sensor 6PT 009 109 141 or 041 from BMWs and Landrovers, so they are cheaper to buy from a non performance place. They use a 2 pin EV1 connector like the factory injectors.

In the factory location heat soak doesn't seem to be a problem with the Hella sensor as the sensor body is plastic, unlike the factory metal sensor which yeah as mentioned is no good when using VE tuning.

Ok, I had no idea I should change out the iat sensor at all... nor did my tuner mention it. So I should go for the Hella sensor https://www.autodoc.co.no/hella/937856 if I use the oem location? is there any adapters from oem to the hella sensor so i dont have to cut any wires? Can I "tune" in the new sensor myself or should I let my tuner do it?

You can definitely make an adapter, I just don't know that anyone has one readily available.

Looks better than OEM with the boot.

Premium.

Yeah I got my own connector with a straight boot on the blue 32 as most of the kits have a 90 boot, which isn't as nice as the wiring might need to be extended in some cases.

On the white 32 it got the GM sensor from Haltech as it comes with the Elite and because the old man is a tight arse, didn't want to buy another sensor he already had. To fit the GM sensor the plenum needed to be retapped to NPT and about 20mm cut off the temp sensor thread boss, as the GM sensor is much shorter and needs to be pushed further into the airstream.

    • As I've said elsewhere, I am using the stock intercooler piping path in the engine bay, and a return flow cooler, and making ~250 rwkW (without any effort put into trying to turn it up past there just yet) and expect to be able to make some more, and frankly, I would be perfectly happy with 260-270rwKW. This is peak road Skyline usability territory. You go past there and, sure, the car will snap necks more when it's on boost, but it will also break shit all the time, cost a (even larger) fortune in tyres, etc etc. Anyway, I also do not like the over-the-fan pipe path, and you don't have to do it.
    • I see, honestly I’m not too fussed about the looks. The only reason to go plenum is to make the piping easier instead of the classic over the rad etc. 
    • Not easy to quantify wrt something like how many fractions of a second slower it would be over 0-100. But given that a 250-300rwkW car is able to do that launch sprint in 5-6 sec (and faster with appropriate tyres, and surface)..... giving up as much as a second would feel like torture. A ~450HP capable turbo is not going to make lots of boost in the 2000-3000 rpm range. So, whilst with some boost on hand it will be faster accelerating in that rev range than your engine currently is NA, it will not feel like a fast car until the boost is solidly in. You know what your car feels like right now when you open it up at 2000rpm. if you've ever been in an actual fast car, you will appreciate that the NARB25 is.... not exciting. Well, add some boost and it will be better. But shorten the intake runners and it might not be better at all. It might come out better, but it could end up feeling the same. For me, it's not the 0-X km/h sprints that matter. It is easy to fry the tyres with anything over 200 rwkW. You can't use all the power available in 1st and 2nd anyway, you have to modulate the throttle. What matters is how the car reacts when you're driving in traffic in 4th or 5th and have maybe 2000 rpm on board, and you want/need to add some speed quickly, and don't have time for the downshift. It won't make boost, it will be all NA (at the speeds we're talking about - remember how fast you're going at 2000 in 4th! and don't plan on breaking the limit by too much.) So giving away NA torque is not what I would consider practical for a street car. And retaining that NA torque builds boost faster which makes the car faster. The flashy plenum is not actually better, unless you're looking at a track car where you can keep it on the boil all the time.  
    • So how much difference does it make you think? Like 1 second in the 0-100?  I was have smaller turbo so hopefully that spools quick GTX2871.  currently it’s NA so you can imagine pretty slow, but I do want fast accusation a little as there’s not many places I’ll be driving where I go over 80 even near me. So 0-60 and 0-80 targets   
    • Short inlet runners cost quite a bit. Dulls off the off-boost torque, and delays boost onset, because arrival of boost is driven by gas flow is a product of the ability to flow air which is torque. This is the reason that the stock manifolds have longer runners. On a 3L, or bigger, you can usually accept the compromise of giving away some torque because the extra capacity gives you a little extra to waste. But on a smaller motor, there's not a lot there to start with. Example, I swapped RB20 out of my R32, 25NeoDET in its place. The "wall of torque" that I experienced afterwards made it all worthwhile. That's because I came from RB20 land where torque is not a thing. But I would not do anything, anything at all, to reduce the low/mid torque I have now, because I remember what it is like to not have it!
