Also, to be clear, this is the thread that really threw me off when it came to the IAT.
https://www.miataturbo.net/megasquir...ow-what-76953/ From Post 5 in that thread, which is a quote from instructions from rev on the MS3 "7. If you want to use a GM IAT sensor, it must now be wired in. • On the 99-05 (Non-MSM), simply replace the stock air temperature sensor found " "If it's like my 2000 model, it's pretty simple. Run a vacuum line off of a T at one of your existing lines. Install and wire-up your WB. Unplug and remove the factory ECU, and plug in the MS3 and zip tie it up under the dash. You should be able to use your factory IAT sensor, but if you want to place it with the GM part that's a superior sensor. Start the car and begin tuning/tweaking with tunerstudio." |

Sorry, vacuum line then. As I mentioned earlier, I've read the instructions he sent me, and they didn't mention the IAT at all. I found a similar list of instructions which DID mention the IAT, but those were for an MS3 Basic, which I don't have, and I assume following instructions for a megasquirt that's not the same as mine is a quick way to blow stuff up.
I will continue to dig through the forums at DIY and MSextra, and I also discovered that there are some decent tips in the "making and installing your own MSPNP" thread which I originally overlooked as I thought it was strictly for the soldering/construction of the MS board, which I'm not doing. |
trust me, you don't wanna use the stock ait sensor unless you are n/a.
to get any sort of proper reading, it must be in the pressurized piping not the inlet that's on nb's on na's to retain the stocker you have to retain the stupid maf. so that's even more fail. so pretty much everyone uses the gm iat |
so I need this one: MSPNP and DIYPNP IAT Sensor Kit - Aluminum Bung DIYAutoTune.com which comes with an aluminum bung, and then I need to find someone who does aluminum welding to weld that into one of my charge pipes downstream of my IC.

yup.
or you can drill/tap the coldside end tank and screw it in there requiring no alum welding |
You all rock. Becomming a site supporter is on my "parts list". There's no way I could do this without mt.n

Technically yes, but it's much easier to drill and tap the thick aluminum on the cold side of your intercooler. That's what many of us do, and requires no aluminum welding and you can save a few bucks and get the no-bung included AIT sensor.
Edit: too slow... |

Edit: too slow... Its a win win win. 1 win for no welding, 1 win for no heat soaking and 1 win for being resourceful and not spending extra monies. |

So what you're saying is "yes, everything you said in your original post is correct. Your friends are wrong, and you are right." how does that make me less intelligent than your dog?
WOW this thread moved fast. I'm late. Does everyone still love me? Ok good. |
