The bung is almost flush with the inside of the pipe.. The sensor threads through so it is all the way in the pipe, but i didn't want the bung being an obstruction to airflow.

When i make the sensor finger tight it is all the way in the pipe, so once i tighten it down a little more it should be all good.

I also would believe that what ever temp the air is in the pipe, the temp will be, so i dont know if it has to be directly in the airflow. Just my guess.

Anyone know where to get that piece in aluminum? I'm running aluminum IC piping for my D1SC.

:doh: Nevermind, the page on Summit just popped up with them.

BTW.. Autozone stocks the threaded 3/8 NPT IAT. Just look it up for the 91 GMC Syclone/Typhoon as previously stated. $15.99 in the store.. lol My buddy got one yesterday.

I've always wondered about the Mcmaster Carr warehouse.. Figured it would be a monster. They have multiple warehouses across the country. I get stuff from them all the time at work. I've ordered some odd-ball stuff (from raw materials, to fittings, end mills etc.. ) and it always comes the next business day. I love that place. I ordered a bearing at 7:30 PM EST and had it at 10 AM the next morning. Cant beat em.

Do you need to get a bung if you're using the Syclone IAT sensor? Or do you just drill a hole and thread the sensor itself into the hole?

you need a bung, unless your tubing is super thick and you can tap it 3/8NPT.

is the tip of the IAT brass on the 91 syclone fitting? I just picked one up and on the stock IAT the tip is plastic, and on the one i picked up from autozone that comes on a 91 syclone it's brass, is this correct?

I got mine from Auto zone, and it was brass. Harness plugged in, and it appears to work very well.

Is the plastic connector gray or black?

I sell the threaded fast-response IATs and ECTs. The IATs are plastic tipped and brass bodied; the ECT is metal on the tip. Here are some images:

Just a heads up, I went to autozone and purchased the IAT for a syclone, and they sold me a coolant temp sensor, and I didn't realize it until I installed it and the plug wouldn't fit into the sensor. It sucked because I put the IAT in my IC piping put the pipe back on the car and after all that is when i realized it was the wrong plug. After that I took it back and told her they screwed up and she tried to sell me some other sensor that needed to be ordered and was like 30 bucks. Luckilyy a bunch of people posted the price they paid for their syclone sensor, so I was able to go off that to justify to her that she was tryin to sell me the wrong part again. In the end I got the right sensor and it worked great and i just dynoed 524 to the wheels at 11 psi.
