Intake Air Temperature Relocation Kit Install On a V6

[66cat389]

im scared to do it :X

Nah, it's easy. Even with having to dremel the slots on the top of the connector, the install only took about 45 minutes to an hour. It might have been quicker but I was working on a six pack of killians at the same time too. Which is why I didn't take it out the same night I did the install.

I did take it out today, and the temps held at about 85 to 90 degrees for the hour I drove it. I saw it jump to about 94 when I was waiting at a drive thru getting lunch. But still, not too bad. I didn't expect the temps to remain so low, but they held pretty consistent with the outside temps. We had a high of 84 weather wise here, so the temps from the IAT and the outside temps held pretty consistently.

Thanks. What were the temp readings before you relocated the sensor?

Not sure, I didn't get a chance to fully document everything. I was more curious to see if the wiring would work. I will probably test that next weekend to see how different the temps are. I would suspect that they are pretty different considering where the MAF housing sits.

if i do get this..
where would i install it on my rotofab? the maf is pretty much attached to the fliter..

nice write up.good job guys coming up with a solution for the V6.

I don't think you would need to with the rotofab since it moves the MAF forward, away from the radiator hose. You are still picking up ambient heat, but not nearly enough to be an issue.

ok cool!

Nice write up!

Do you have a write up on your home made CAI? Looks a lot like the Injen available for the Camaro V6. I've been wondering if that would fit our engine bay.

I never really thought to do a write up on it. Honestly I just bought some aluminum J bends, and intake parts from Siliconeintakes.com. Then just cut and fit and put it together. I just painted it the other day, so it looks even better. And I replaced the bracket with something much better.

I installed this the other day and after 2 hours of driving the engine light was on when i started it.First code was C0701-Fault definition not available.The second code was P0021-A camshaft position - Timing over-advanced or system performance (Bank 2). Not sure if its related or not but i cleared them out and its been fine since. I installed the sensor in the same place as cat did but i cut the tabs off the MAF instead.
