Vacation to Canada

If you really need a picture with the belt on and the wires fixed lemme know. But one coil is zip tied down since the coil bracket is broken and now i've gotta try to find another one...

Matt : you forgot the missing motormount.

**kjohnson** · 06-09-2010

does it matter what filter I get as long as it fits in the hose that i will be using?

**kjohnson** · 06-09-2010

I realize that not gettting rid of that bumpy tubing is stupid but is it better to put that sensor closer to the filter like this?

**matt5112** · 06-09-2010

No, the sensor should be as close to the TB as possible.

Not that it really makes a difference.

Oh and mr tube, I have the square poly upper mounts but now the bushing on the other side is shot...

**98GTPCALGARY** · 06-09-2010

Matt, why is it better closer to the TB?

**matt5112** · 06-09-2010

Because that more accurately represents your intake air temps.

Not that the table does anything but pull either one or two degrees of timing if the IAT is too high.

**kjohnson** · 06-09-2010

so i dont need to do anything special with that sensor other then just stick it in right? I read that build your own FWI and it didnt say much about it

**matt5112** · 06-10-2010

yeah, no issues. it doesnt mention it because it doesnt really matter.

**kjohnson** · 06-10-2010

I figured it really wasn't that necessary. I'm really exited to do this. I ordered a AEM oiless filter. I didn't want to deal with plugging up my MAF

**matt5112** · 06-10-2010

post some pics as you go.

**kjohnson** · 06-10-2010

I will. its gonna turn out all black. very clean looking. should get it sometime early next week

**blueguy** · 06-10-2010

Matt, you got it backwards. If you give a crap about IAT's then you want it as far away from the engine as possible so it senses the coldest temps.

**matt5112** · 06-10-2010

Meh, it doesnt do anything anyways. But in order for it to serve its function properly, it has to be near the TB...

350 mile trip.. and I got 28 mpg averaging 90mph.

**kjohnson** · 06-11-2010

sooo which is it closer or farther?

**matt5112** · 06-11-2010

just stick it in the tube near the TB.... dont bother extending the wire. Its easier.

**machinegunsquid** · 06-11-2010

Yeah, I quite literally changed my intake yesterday, and my IAT Sensor is sitting about 2 inches away from my TB, didnt have to extend the wires any, works fine.
