IAT relocate to EGR location. How?
IAT relocate to EGR location. How? I bought a new IAT sensor and harness. I know which MAF wires to cut and connect to the harness. I want to put the IAT sensor in the spot where my EGR tube is now becaue i'm planning on deleting egr and air anyway. How do I get the sensor to stay in the hole? will it just screw in there? I read something about using a pcv grommet or something?
here's how i was gonna do mine, but i dont know what the truck intake looks like.
get a metal or aluminum egr block off plate,(i've seen them on ebay) drill and tap a 3/8 18 npt on the block off plate,screw it on the intake, then screw on the iat sensor.
it should work for you too.
good luck

done. the friggin drill bit i bought was for a 1/2 drill, which i don't have. I already had a smaller hole in the whipple elbow, so, i hand drilled the hole bigger. yup, just hooked some vice grips up to the bit and kept turning till it was all the way through. lol. then i tapped the hole and i was done. easy install. I've never tapped a hole before. Let the jokes begin.

the meth sprays just after the blower, the iat is about 6 inches away on the whipple elbow which is connected the the intake manifold. The other option was to put it where the egr is now, but, i already had a hole in the elbow and haven't removed my egr yet cause i can't figure out how to. I was kinda worried about the meth throwing off the iat, but, leaving it before the blower is just silly. There's only a few inches between the blower oulet and the intake manifold so the options are slim. Other truck guys have done the same setup with good results.
greentahoe, i don't quite understand what you are asking me. I used the same iat sensor as everyone else on performancetrucks. I think it's out of a 96 buick or something like that. It has a 3/8"npt end on it.
