High speed inlet temp sensor

[ashc]

put mine in back in august and no problems, tbh havent noticed a jot of a difference but the map is the same and it does seem to be a worthwhile mod scientifically, so to speak. the only modification i could suggest is sourcing some proper connectors if they\'re still available so it is properly plug & play.

I\'m still humming and hawing about it for that reason.  Happy to punt £30 or whatever, but can I be bothered with messing about fitting something which may or may not make a real-world difference? (I fully accept the scientific reasoning by the way, but if the bum-dyno can\'t feel it, what\'s the point?)

i just figured a 15 yr old sensor had got to be poor compared to a new one, it would be bad if this one broke!

same reason i bought one (also, because it looks really nice sitting on a table and not fitted to a car :2Rolleyes).
 
i figure the more rubbishy 16 year old parts i can replace the better, OEM or uprated.

my stock one had stopped working, i phoned a few places to see if i could get a replacement, and most places wanted 20 quid plus postage for one to be sent to me and that was second hand... for the little bit extra i thought why not... it works alot faster, can see that on the power fc... and speaking to people like dragon they said they were defo worth it!

Do you probably have a picture of that sensor?

My wallet-dyno has a pretty cavalier attitude to that kind of thing.  Not frightened of the engine going bang, it\'ll be a good excuse to rebuild, port and go single
 
I\'ll probably do it when I get around to removing the air pump - I\'ll replace the vac lines with viton hose at the same time.

Like it. I had the same attitude when I got my first rex. I actually wanted to blow it so that I could rebuild it. When the money and time had been invested I felt differently. Didn\'t stop me spanking it to 9000rpm though.:3gears-rh

is this properly plug and play or does it involve butchering the loom? does it screw into the stock location properly or require re tapping?

Hi, the sensor uses the same thread but you will need to solder the new loom supplied into your harness. There is heatshrink supplied to make this a clean job. Unfortunately the plug mazda used is no longer supported so it wasn\'t possible to make it plug and play.

If you don\'t have a soldering iron I could supply crimp joints, just add a comment to your Ebay order, or email me direct if you want a MRC discount £25. Jon
