  • POS intake, no IAT

    i did search the search part of the site before posting this and didnt find a satisfactory answer, so here goes
    i made a garage intake for my 97 rs and didnt make a place for the iat, so i unplugged it and went with it? will this damage anything, or mess up my computer?

    It won't damage anything but your car won't run as well as it would if it was in place. You won't be getting the full gain from the intake

        Yes, not using the IAT is a bad idea. The IAT reads the intake air temp so that the computer knows to richen the fuel mixture when the incoming air is cold (aka when first starting it up) which will make the car idle smooth when its ice cold out or when doing a cold start. When mine was out of the intake, the car idled badly when cold and didnt drive too well, put it in and no more problems!

          I doubt the alternator had anything to do with this and you do need to put that into your intake. You should be able to fabricate something pretty easily using a drill and your original intake. Shouldn't be too hard.

              or drill a hole in the airbox and put the sensor in there. secure it with two rubber gaskets.
