No, if the IAT is out and a fixed resistor is in when armed then there is no wait for the IAT to transition....

And thanks for the input, I found the table in my 01 tunes, I kinda wish they had it in the 98-00s....

I cant wait to get my new motor and get it up and running so I can try this out.

That is true, but we also did not want to "disable" the IAT sensor during nitrous use. If the user is not opposed to this, this is a good way to add extra fuel.

Sucks, doesn't it. Luckily the 99-00 can be reflashed to 01-02, unfortunately not the 98s.

What benefit is there in keeping the IAT functional on the bottle?

How do I go about flashing an 01 binary onto a 99 or 00 PCM? To keep this simple, let's say that the 99/00 car is stock and so is the 01. Obviously the injectors are different... so I'm not talking about any table swaps needed, I'm good with that, just the how-to and any gotchas....

Only reason I could think of is if the nitrous was running out. We didn't want to run extra rich.

How To:
Just select a file that is 01-02 and do a write entire, not a write calibration. It will take about 2 minutes and you are good to go.

Catch:
You will not be able to use your VIN, may be critical when smog or inspections (if applicable). Or just flash back to the OE file.

I thought the VIN could be changed after the write though?

The VIN has to match the OS to be applied. If the OS wasn't available with that VIN, it will not allow you to change the VIN.

Good info for sure, i was telling someone the other day there is a way to do this. I was going to use the same kinda setup on my GTP to lower timing instantly when the system was armed for nitrous.

When my TA was tuned i was told you could not instantly change timing through the ECM that the nitrous had to slowly cool off the IAT sensor and timing would be retarded. I did not like that so i found some info on a GP site about doing it with resitors but never got around yet to creating anything mainly for the lack of HPtuners.

I'm glad Frost brought this up so i can start making something for the TA and the GTP. And since i have HPtuners ordered i can change the tables needed also in both cars to get the timing perfect.

I ordered weatherpack connectors, small enclosures, some LED's, resistors, etc.... I will post up schematics when it's done and tested.

I need to see where you ordered those from Frost so I can find connectors for my sensor.

So then using a maximizer 2 I could use the timing output to activat the relay to the resistor which would instanly show lower IAT temps and I could set my timing in that cell for the nitrous.

Could I also use the Maximizer's second timing output to activate a second relay with a different resistor that would activate a second cell for timing on the second stage? Would I just need another relay and a different voltage resistor?

Yes !! you could. Definitely... Also since you are an 01-up you have an adder VS. PE should you decide to tweak fueling via that route as well.

I have had some issues with a project at work that have eaten all of my free time but this project of mine is about to come back into focus. I'm in the process of hunting for another F-body to "experiment" on right now.

Having trouble finding a supplier for the tiny relays that can be a long-term supplier without wanting an arm and a leg... I am almost ready to give up and go solid state for the switching. I found 2 suppliers for the relays I WANT, but they are both surplus dealers and the quantity they have now is all they will ever have. I need to figure something out with a quickness though.

is this the same scenario for Gen III F-bod and vettes? Tried to send you a PM but your box is full


FINALLY getting around to some production on these units.... Gonna build 100 in the first batch.

I will look around tonight and see, I can't remember right now.

Would the IAT vs MAP PE modifier be enough to add fuel for a dry shot (just 100 or so) in SD? Or would it only be used for tweaking the AFR on wet hits.

I would love to run the HPT custom SD OS with a dry shot.

Yes; it should work quite well for this, but it would act like a wet kit (ie low bottle pressure would result in richer fueling) as far as bottle pressure goes. Also you would have to begin by flashing your car with an 01/02 OS to get the PE modifier vs IAT.
