you will also find intake temp sensors on vh and vg41/45's nissan v8.however if a rb20det never had one id say it will never need one.

mine rb3026 with hks f con pro v made the afms and intake temp cold start etc all redundant. so i dont really know why a aftermarket ecu would need one at all, oil temp can tell you the state of flogged bearings and if you have a good aftermarket watertemp sensor and gauge it can usually tell you weather your timing is to advanced or retarded as the more retarded it is the more heat is trapped in the head and obviously the hotter the water jacket.

The rb26 intake temp sensor is only used as an ignition trim when excess intake temps are seen to prevent detonation. If your f con pro v is map sensored(ie no MAF's) then it must have an intake temp input. Hence why rb PFC d-jetro's are only available for rb26's. It may not be hooked up, but for a map sensor ecu to work properly there must be an IAT sensor to allow for temp induced variance in air density. I hope you aren't suggesting you tune a cars ignition system with a water temp gauge?

ok...

hmm coz on my power fc both my air and water temps

ALWAYS read the same... i would think these would read different???

cheers

Yours has a reading because your using an RB26 PFC and have had the wires linked so you don't have the nasty check engine light showing constantly.

does the rb26dett run 2 water temp sensors?

if i was to swap my rb20 one with a 26 one would that help? as my water temp is only showing 57 degrees.. so im using more fuel coz the engine is thinking its still cold!!

    • Excuse me, but 2) does apply 1) Would also apply if you consider how much is spent in the alternatives. Also there's the option of 3), buy one pre-built that you can put your family in (it's me, it's my car)   That said, I went on a ~500km drive the other day. I didn't use anything more adventurous than 3rd/4th gear at about ~3000RPM and 50% throttle and I was going as fast as anyone has any sense doing on a public road, with enough grip to the point where I didn't want to go any faster. I was obviously under the limit of the current car etc etc. MX5 with 2.5 N/A to achieve the same speed would be more fun for any road scenario. Maybe consider cams. I wouldn't boost it. The use case is just not there and it won't actually make the car more enjoyable unless you really do plan on wringing gears from 1st to 3rd (at least) at 100% WOT on a public road to 150+kmh.
    • Great if: 1. You had all of the money for everything else that is required  2. Lived in a country where you could actually do this and drive it legally on the road Sadly, neither applies to me As for the turbo, I am having second thoughts, mainly for engineering/registration legality reasons and insurance  Not saying I've finished doing stupid things that I probably should do to the MX5, but boost, and V8 engine swaps isn't on the cards Strange, but true 
    • I like this page, better than that silly turbo kit   https://v8roadsters.com/product-category/engine-conversions/engine-conversion-lsx/engine-conversion-lsx-nc/

    • Yes shipping here can be a pain, was about to purchase timing belt replacement kit, but it tends to get expensive due to shipping (and customs if importing from non-EU which the UK now falls under).
