The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Just fitted an induction cone to my N/A, and when i emoved the airbox of the inlet pipe there was a push in plastic thing, is it some sort of sensor? car runs fine without it, just unsure on whether it needs to be there?

The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 how did it go in? it just looks like a push in bung, in the top of the airbox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I think it's an Air temperature sensor, without it mine ran crap and drank a lot of fuel! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ryan lang Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 hmmm suppose i should plug mine back in then? lmfao Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShafzC Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 @AmjadMines been running fine without it.. Unless theres 2 diff sensors cause one of mines plugged in and one isn't.Shafz. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Probably the breather going to the Rocker you're on about? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thats what i guessed it was, how can i fit it when i have my induction kit on it? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lukew360 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 There's a wire near my air box, but i think its just mounted on the side? Doesn't look like it goes inside they've just used it as a mounting point Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Amjad Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Drill a hole into the induction metal pipe and seal it round the sensor?I bought an induction pipe off ebay (came with a filter) and it already had a hole for the sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 Thats what i was thinking, or stick it in the filter underneath? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ShafzC Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 Amjad I think me and you have the same induction kit? That 1993-1997 Corolla Apiro one? yeah I have the breather pipe from that to the rocker cover, but I didn't plug in the other sensor and it runs PERFECTLY.Shafz.

lukEp Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 I can only imagin you are all talking about the air intake temp sensor which is needed on the n/a system if its not plugged in can cause iratic idle and poor fuel consumption lots of soot in the system (plugs, exhaust) and poor starting . get it pluged in and in the induction path to measure the actual intake temperatures Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 right, tomorow i will get it drilled into the intake pipe then, just after the filter, will that be okay?Thanks Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lukEp Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 yeh so long as its pushed all the way in and in the induction path it will be fine Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 cheers bud, it will seal a bit around the rubber bit anyway, but will seal it in and get a pic up Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redz11 Posted June 24, 2010 Share Posted June 24, 2010 yeh so long as its pushed all the way in and in the induction path it will be fine yeah, luke pushed mine all the way in, it was only abit in, ive noticed it drinks hardly ANY fuel now Quote Link to post Share on other sites
The Toffinator Posted June 24, 2010 Author Share Posted June 24, 2010 im guessing you fitted a cone to yours then?will do it tomorow, its properly plug shaped haha! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
redz11 Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 im guessing you fitted a cone to yours then?will do it tomorow, its properly plug shaped haha!nah, ive got the BMC induction filter used to have cone, upgraded to the beast that i have now, check my build thread you should be able to see on there bud, but i would advise u plug it on otherwise you'll get poor mileage to yer petrol.

The Toffinator Posted June 25, 2010 Author Share Posted June 25, 2010 Just drilled a hole big enough so it just squeezes all the way in, through the silicone pipe and the aluminum pipe just past the filter, then electrical taped the pipe etc so its all sealed in, just disconnected the battery for half an hour and then i will see how it runs!
