oops we all posted similar times. well damn. what about some of the used edelbrock intakes that were on there? they wouldnt work?

 

im just looking for a cheap way out and wanting to reek all the benefits haha.

 

the Hughes don't have the AIT port?



I bought a new one of them. I even posted about it before buying and nobody told me I didn't need it. I better find my receipt

 

this thread solved two things

 

You need the IAT sensor. Put it in the airhat.

 

?? Huh do what??

I gots the 14x3 how does one put it in there? Got any pics?

 

well wheres the cheapest place to find one of these intakes that solves all of our problems?

 

Drill a hole in the bottom of the airhat, just big enough for the IAT to fit through. Thread it in with some RTV and lock it down with a nut. I found really thin nuts like pictured at the Home Depot in the lighting section.

You may need to extend the wiring on the IAT sensor with some extra wire and butt connectors.

 

No, there's no port for that. The intent is to relocate it into the CAI or air hat vs running it hot in the manifold. It not an issue, so, there's no need to return it. The issue is, with that change, The AIT sensor runs much cooler than in OEM location so, as a result, more fuel is applied thus causing a richer fuel mixture. Couple that with a 180 T-stat and the PCM applies even more fuel thus creating a richer mix. Cooler it reads, more fuel is applied. Changing just the air hat or to a CAI or, OEM exhaust manifold to headers and 3 inch pipes, or Hi-Flow CATs and now your looking at a custom tune to compensate for all those changes just to get the A/F mix to where it should be.

There's a lot going on with all those items. The exhaust flow, the exhaust temps, the coolant temp sensor voltage, header flow, CAT types etc all affect the A/F mix and, all those have to be accommodated by a custom tune to alleviate poor running conditions.

 

According the to picture on Hughes website, the Airgap does have a AIT hole...
