you want to keep the IAT sensor... what I would do (and what others have done) is run a straight tube from TB to lid , then drill a whole in it and place the IAT sensor in it


However... if you absolutely want to disable it... just do the resistor mod ... i forget the sizes.. but you can use a resistor to trick the IAC into thinking it's a constant temperature

I KNOW THAT !!

But I don't HAVE that IAT sensor yet....it'll be here in 2-3 days and I'd like to run it this way until then.....

What value to get ~110º temps ?? (I'm trying to be somewhat realistic with my IAT temps)

You can pull the iat sensor out of the maf with a pair of needle nose pliers. Then just take the sensor and put it in your intake tube. I used JB weld on mine. Then you just have to cut the wires and wire them to the sensor.

This is assuming we have the same maf.

towards the bottom "IAT vs Resistor vs Reported Temp" should get you what you want

Would you happen to have another link?

"IAT vs Resistor vs Reported Temperature" is unavailable.
