Well its been awhile for me, have not been on forum, shame on me right. Anyway just wanted to share a small upgrade to my Lil 4 Banger. I am one who tries to stay away from chips but that being said I was going to relocate my IAT sensor from the intake manifold to the air intake tube. Been reading alot about this old mod and have heard more positive than negative. It suppose to pickup cooler air and sending the signal to the PCM and it injects more fuel at WOT and advances the timing a tad. Well I did not do it yet, gotta get a new IAT sensor, extend the wires, and drill hole in a desired location and seal tight. Well I tried something different for now and its been working for 2 weeks. When I say its been working I mean I am getting just a lil more throttle/Fuel on the high end of RPM range making it easier to maintain same speed or more with less pedal and effort. It is also yielding better MPG, dont know exactly how much. At a quick glance I use to get about 40 miles per 1/4 tank and now I am getting about 60 miles per 1/4 tank. I know thats a big open window but the MPG increase is a nice welcomed change. Well here it is !!!! What I did is raise the IAT SENSOR 1/4 with a washer shape design made out of virgin teflon. It still picks up some heat from the intake manifold but not as much. My belief is the probe inside is not getting heat soaked and the insulating properties are keeping the sensor a hair cooler. No splicing, no cutting wires, no fooling the PCM. Real temps. Again cooler reading and no heat soak. Nothing extreme but I can feel a difference. I do plan on painting it black or grey for now. Maybe later I will do a total relocation but for now this is a nice change in increase throttle/fuel and added MPG. I will try to add a pic.
