From the outside, you will not be able to tell that there is an aftermarket part installed. It uses the stock housing. The only noticable difference is the smaller element compared to stock. This is the only picture I have ATM of the new element. I can take side by side pictures this weekend of stock vs. modified.

No need for another picture unless soemone else wants to see it. Thanks for posting, it's a good shot.
Do you know how durable this thermistor is?
04-25-2008
As far as I know, it's just as durable as the stock on. Epoxy coated and all.
I was concerned at first about this just from the small size of it, but a friend of mine has one that's the same style on his GTO that's been on there for going on 3 years now without any issues.

I'm about to relocate my IAT (thanks to the suggestion from Indeed). I may not get one of these immediately, but it's on the to-do list.

Brian, I'm gonna help you out and take one. Since we know how fast the thermistor responds, it will be interesting to adjust the IAT versus timing table to see if the PCM can adjust timing as fast as the Reptile IAT can change temps.

im game for one reptile...

Im curious if you found a way to use this for LQ4 MAF users since the wiring harness sold with N*/LQ4 kits use the IAT plug since the LQ4 has its own IAT.
04-29-2008
I've looked into the LQ4 MAF, and yes I can modify the sensor in the same way. Only drawback is since it's pressed into the housing, it only comes as part of the MAF itself...so I'll have to find the LQ4 and modify it then ship it with the sensor. Only reason in doing this is because the thermistor is very delicate, and I don't think it would survive shipping by itself.

Have you tested the LQ4 IAT?? Im not doing this to be a bag of douche, but I only ask cause I was able to tell right away the LQ4 IAT was quite a bit faster then the stock. Not as fast as the modded one I think but would be nice to see a difference.

No, I haven't tested it. I may be able to get hold of one just for testing sake, but it would basically be one of mine in the regular housing vs an LQ4.
