Hi all,

Just after a little advice - Ive picked up a $33 Inlet Air Temp sensor, which looks like it advances timing via the ECU.

Its just a little black box with 2 wires coming out the end, and is meant to be fitted up to the IAT sensor, via the loom end......

Q: where is the IAT sensor in the RB25DET engine bay? I cant find info on this....

Q: would it be safe to use along with an safcII, ebc, r34 gtt intercooler, full turbo-back 3inch exhaust system and K&N pod filter? ...?

Got the product off ebay, so not too worried if it doesnt work as its pretty cheap, but would like to fit it up before I have the Stagea dynoed in a couple of days time (having a base dyno run, and then everything fitted and tuned).

If anyone could please tell me where the IAT sensor is that'd be great! Any opinons or advice would be really appreciated. :)

FYI: www.celoxperformance.com for further info on the product, or search ebay australia.

The Rb25 doesn't have an intake temperature sensor. My advice would be chuck it in the bin, and tune the car the proper way. Increase intake and exhaust efficiency to help the engine breath. Increase turbo boost. And get a mappable ecu to tune the fuel and ignition maps for more power.

Thanks for the info...

I put a similar one on my VR SS V8, and did notice a slight difference in power, I believe that one told the ecu that it was using 100% air at all times, and thus the powerchip ecu provided more fuel (ie more fuel + air = more power).

Oh well, if the stagea rb25det doesnt have an inlet air temp sensor maybe I'll chuck it on the missus' Nubira.

But the website from memory did suggest it'd fit onto a Skyline.

Q: what sort of ecu would work ok with a Stagea auto 4wd rb25det (with safc2, ebc, full exhaust and air setup)?

Cheers.

ebay... thats where the problem starts, and where it ends.

as for what would work. search. SAF-C is the only cheap thing save for full replacement.

Thats a bit harsh on ebay!! :)

I got to say, Ive spent around 10k on stuff off ebay, around 6k of that was for goodies for my Fireblade. ALWAYS had a good deal.... ie Keihin 39mm FCR race carbs brand new $1200 in lieu of 2k, 17inch front rim for $100 in lieu of around $500 ($1200 from honda!), full Akrapovic titanium system $700 in lieu of $2400. Even got my missus wedding ring from ebay UK for $250 with .75c high quality diamonds, had it valued at $1200!

The ebay happy-shopping list goes on!!! :lol:

Have always had a good experience with ebay, and I HIGHLY recommend it; obviously its a trust issue. An easy way to shop and am WAY in front in terms of $$ spent if I was to buy the same gear from a local shop.

I got my SAFCII off ebay (installing this wednesday) for $375 delivered, and thats less then what they come up in the 4sale section here on the forums.

The only reason I asked about this little solenoid is I wasnt sure if the skyline rb25det had an inlet air temp sensor or not, thanks for the info peoples. But I will reiterate that the same sort of product worked fine with my VR SS...

Cheers All!

Yes ebay is good for alot of things, but when it comes to resistors and special fuel filters that add miracle particles to give u more power it is a waste of time.

There is even a electric supercharger for sale on ebay. I looks like it will such more electrical power from the battery than give u more power.

    • I should note too as I have all 4 wheel speed inputs to the emtron I now have the emtron controlling the attessa solenoid for 4wd/traction and launch control strategies. 
    • It works quite well with the adjustibility within each of the programs of the turbolamik. Essentially p1 is drive and lockup comes on like a normal driver.  But in program 7 I have customised it to not request the lockup clutch to engage until something like 6500/7 when slip was the lowest. 
    • Yep, I like that. The tags are only on the first post of a thread and we don't get huge numbers of new threads. Also, I plan to add some more report types and we could have a member report type like 'review tags' then members could flag if they thought a topic wasn't tagged correctly.  No way man, I dig the input. Thanks! 
    • It's a valid thought. There's not exactly that functionality already (when creating a thread) - that's where the OP can use/create any tag they want. We'd have to come up with a way for the user to request their tags get reviewed or something. Otherwise the mods would have to review every new post's tags (for those that have them, anyway). There's kind of that functionality already exists to some extent, post facto of starting the thread, where the OP or any other user could report the post to admins, and request that tags get reviewed. We could do this already, and any user could already have made such a request. To make it a part of the forum proper, it would require an initial and an ongoing education programme, so that people know that it's a thing. OP based tagging/request for review would also require at least some (probably most) of the user base to be told that it's a thing they can do. Both of these things probably wouldn't spread too far and/or get used very much. If it was the standard approach on a lot of different sites, then it might do, because people would be used to it. Prank's approach to this differs from my original thought, by leaning into tagging. Which is fine - it's possibly better than what I originally suggested. In fact, I just went to the R32 GTR wiring diagram thread and added tags, including "Library". That's probably a good way to use tags and the idea of a library. We just have to drag together an (organised!) index of threads or posts that have that tag. I have yet to do any of my own follow up by pursuing worthy threads and posts and reporting/marking/tagging them for the library, such as the @Sydneykid stuff I was talking about, and possibly any amount of @Lithium 's and others' posts. At least if I tag them Library, we'll have a start.   Back to @Wazmond's idea as it relates to @PranK's, we might have some sort of a list of tags that are already used to scrape for this library. I'm not entirely sure how that would be presented or used, particularly if it got long. But it's yet another idea!   cheers
    • Just a thought, but instead of restricting, is it possible to do like an "up for review" kind of thing? Where say someone who's not an admin/mod tags, it would require approval for it to actually tag? User posts with a 'tag' > Admin/Mod Reviews > Approves tag > Tag now exists kinda thing? Just came across this thread so Im not too sure if Im straying off topic or not but forgive me if i am...
