Need Help finding IAT

[AnotherGoodReason]

hey guys just windering if anyone can give me some directions to find the Inlet Air Temp sensor on a vy v6 eco, got a mod to put in it just not sure if i got the right spot..

cheers

[AnotherGoodReason]

just to clarify is it the wire that run into the air filter box or into the air flow metre.

or is it somewhere else on the engine.

cheers

i think its in the airfilter box like vs was i presume you bought one of those stupid resistors to fool the ecu to thinking it has colder air never a good idea using them things at all

as delcowizzid said, yes its located in the airbox but dont do it man, u just got con'd! use the resister to build something usefull. do a search there is heaps on this ""mod""

[AnotherGoodReason]

yeah i did, why aint it a good idea to use em

[delcowizzid]

all they do is add extra fuel and in most places the ecu just tunes it back out anyway probably end up using more fuel than anything else

[ephect]

again as delcowizzid said: it just keeps the ecu thinking its cold so it dumps a shitload of fuel in, and u gain no power, u'll foul ur o2 sensors pritty quick, damages ur plugs.

i had mates do it, and the ecu hasnt really got a chance to correct it properly.

do a search it'll bring up all the threads on this

[AnotherGoodReason]

yeah just been reading through a post on diff chips and stuff to add in got any ideas of what i can go for if ya know of anything that works..

[delcowizzid]

put a heap of mods on ie headers exhaust cai cam and then get a custom tune

[ephect]

forget chips for the time being, go for rockers, nice bang for your buck mod, and piss easy to do. exhaust both headers and catback, and diff gears for that extra poke down low.

then after all that, get a tune to unlease those extra kw's hidden away.

EDIT: delcowizzard, always a couple steps ahead of me

[delcowizzid]

haha gotta be quick when its quite ephect

[AnotherGoodReason]

im not very mechanical so can ya explain the rockers im in the process of saving some money to get extractors high flow cat and i got a split system exhaust cat back on the ute so far..

[ephect]

take it away delcowizzard

EDIT: holy shit, i posted first lol
Rockers increase the amount of valve lift, so it opens ur valves bigger so you can get more air and fuel into the cylinders, give your a bigger explosion, thus more power

[AnotherGoodReason]

oh k what would ya be looking at to get something like that done, and who does em

[delcowizzid]

you can replace the rockers with a diferent ratio set so you get more lift while still using the stock cam simple bolt on job that most people can do with limited tools or knowledge just need to remove the rocker covers and unbolt the old and bolt on the new same with extractors simple bolt on mod

[ephect]

cost is roughly 600-900, check the Yella Terra sponsors section, they supply and fit them for you. this would be the best since your not too mechanically minded, but this is the time now to learn, if you have mates that are so inclined, get them to heap you. all it involves is removing the rocker covers, unbolting the rockers and removing them, the guide plate, and push rods, and replacing them in the same order with oil. torque up the bolts whack on the covers and away you go.

[AnotherGoodReason]

guess i could try.. if all else falls take it to someone who knows or just put it back where i found it. lol

[ephect]

lol thats kinda the aproach, get a VY manual like a gregories, money best spent and it'll become ur new best friend

plus u always have us here on the forums

[AnotherGoodReason]

yeah thats true it's real helpful been able to ask shit so ya dont spend all this money and then relise it's shit, but this guy on ebay said if ya can't get the chip to work he rufunds so im playing damn as i can't find it anymore see if i can get it back..

but yeah, guess all i need now is some extractors sounds like i can do that and then get the rockers done

[ephect]

sounds like a plan mate, good luck with it all, and yes we are here

let use know how u go with the refund

[AnotherGoodReason]

yeah will do. cheers for ya help mate

[ephect]

lol thank delcowizzard too, he was posting first, and i ended up backing him up lol

[AnotherGoodReason]

thanks delcowizzard much appreciated mate.

cheers boys

[delcowizzid]

sweet as mate
