i was a honda guy myself, integra DA8 with b16a swap. you could run any intake setup you could think of and i dont remember ever having issues like i do with this maf.

 

cursedsm and okevolution:

I know many people who have used an IAT in the intake manifold. If you plug the exhaust gasses coming from the head, your intake manifold won't heat up any more than your IC pipes, so the temperature of the air will be more or less the same, depending on how much the air is compressed in the plenum of the IM. However, a Magnus flows so well that I would not imagine the air is sitting in the plenum making heat, especially w/ bigger cams and a bigger turbo using the air right away.

 

Yeah I must have missed that, but it shouldn't matter. If the stock wireing is being used everything is still intact. But if its not, then it would make since to go the iat route. Like I said either way your gonna have the same voltage comming from the source. Reguarding to your other post the last one, I am not gonna say its not a bad idea to put it in the intake mani, but I have alaways either been told, or read technical stuff to have it in as an incomming charge. Maximum boost I believe had the best explination for it, but I don't have the book here or I would go into the explination. Ever since I have read that thats always been the choice for me. I know some guys will actually put the iat in before the turbo, and honestly I think thats obsurd, but it is incomming air.

 

I do have the plug in the head but I was thinking that the heat the cylinder head puts off that transfers to the manifold would be pretty stable in different weather compared to an I/C pipe.

 

in my experience it's not so much about temperature stability, it's the reaction time of the sensor in the intake manifold that is poor. the sensor reads much quicker and more accurately on the UICP close to the throttle body.

if the temperature is stable in changing weather condition, that's not a good thing in a speed density setup because if it gets cold out, the IAT is going to be colder, and if the sensor doesn't know that it will cause a lean or rich condition.
