High speed inlet temp sensor

[Tintin]

The plastic inlet elbow is nicely thermally isolated. Best location IMHO

Jon

I read about moving the temp sensor to the inlet elbow on one of the US sites a while back and have been thinking about it

I\'m interested in one of the faster sensors , anyone fancy organising a group buy ?

I\'m interested in getting hold of one of these senors, however - what do you have to do to fit it, rewire the old plug onto the new one?

Also, how do you go about checking the calibration - i assume you need a special tool to measure resistance at hot and cold?

Cheers, Paul.

[Mr J.T]

please keep me informed too:)

Bump....

Come on johnathan_f! we need to know!

Ok Guys, I brought a few to japshow but didn\'t meet anybody from here.

You will need a new plug which is I\'m sure the same plug used by alot of car manufacturers for the side lights (vw definately). I would pop down a scrappy with the sensor and find a plug and chop it off and solder into your loom.

To check the sensor calibration, use a voltmeter and too bowls of water. Icewater and 80° water. Put the sensors in each of the bowls and measure the resistance or better, the temp the APexi is reading. Should tally within a few degrees.

I wouldn\'t suggest using with the standard ecu.

Thanks mate! :Thumbs-up

Cheers, Paul.

Did Pip get a chance to look at the new sensor ??

If so what were his thoughts , he\'s doing my rebuild at the moment so this would be the ideal time to get one

[Jonathan_F]

Tintin - No he didn\'t I\'m afraid. I\'d ask him when you are ready for the re-map.

ALL -  I DON\'T KNOW HOW MUCH THEY COST!!! CALL THE FLIPPIN TRIUMPH DEALER!!!!! ARGH

Sorry, lots of PM\'s asking for price!!

Yo...where is mine then

So how was the drive home???:Tongue1

Ok. You got me..I was exagerating! I MEANT to take some sensors to Japshow, but didn\'t meet anyone from here. Except Laeeq who\'s sensor I\'d left at home with rest!

The drive home was painful..I got bored of kisssing the windscreen and filled up with optimax b4 dropping the hammer and speeding back.

Walked in the door and turned on the telly.. Beckam scored! Perfect :Thumbs-up

Can i get a sensor of u mate - if u have any left??!

Hi John,
 
Hope you dont mind me picking your brains but I am hopefully going to be doing this mod pretty soon. Was just about to order the part but there seem to be 2 different numbers.
 
Just wanted to check if it was deffinately the latter from Elmwood sensor\'s?
 
Many thanks :wave

They are one and the same Ricco.

Many thanks Jon! :wave

[m4drx]

thanks for the info, i have read this through but i am just a little unsure of the effects on a stock ecu?

could it be bad.... or can the ecu react in time etc? would it be advisable in this case to put it in stock position and not the elbow?

sorry for beng a pain
