I have a boosted R18 and want to do an IAT sensor in the charge pipe before the TB. I was thinking of using a 2000 Prelude Base IAT sensor but wanted to see if I should make mods to the sensor, or get a different one. Also, can I just cut the wires on my MAF sensor harness for the IAT and tap them for the sensor without doing anything else and it work? Keep in mind the R18 still needs the MAF regardless of the MAP fuel table tuning. We can only tune the MAP fuel tables with the external IAT. We still need the MAF on our setup because our ECU does not do Speed Density (I apologize for spelling this out to those of you who already know). Any and all help is appreciated. Thank you in advanced.

That doesn't help. I asked for a reason bro. I need to know what sensors work the best because I am only doing this once and done.
k, may I ask why you went with that one? Any better performance over any other or do they all read accurately?
they all work about the same i got that one because my intercooler pipes had the bung for that style sensor
Oh, ok. Thank you. I'm new to using the external IAT so I want to make sure I get all my ducks in a row before I purchase and get the work done.
Did you just splice it into the wires on the MAF for the stock IAT? The MAF sensor on the R18 is identical so I presume the hook up would be identical as yours since the sensor is the same and the voltages per the helm manuals are the same.

I used RSX IAT. Some DIY cuts the tip for faster response. I didnt do it and it works pretty good in flashpro.
I reused the pigtail, cut the wires on maf as instructed in flashpro help file. It reads pretty quick in flashpro. I dont see a significant temp drop before and after tho.
I need it for MAP tuning and proper fuel mixture. I have a different, more efficient intercooler now. I have a RSX sensor, but no pigtail. no RSX in junkyards here =( That's why I want the Prelude. The sensor has bolt holes, and comes with the harness.
I wouldn't use the rsx iat as its only a push thru. I would use an obd1 since they are bolt in. You can order from xenocron.com the sensor and bung. Source the pigtail on ebay. Option 2 is if you can't find the pigtail you can order the iat from t1, fast response for 53 and that's with a pigtail and npt bung.
Use and RDX sensor, cus they come stock turbo, and arre recommended from hondata if your turbo'ing a civic r18

But the stock RDX sensor is not stand alone from the MAF sensor. I need a stand alone IAT sensor so that the sensor can go into the charge pipe prior to the throttle body.
AEM makes a nice one as well that has a bung with npt threads that you weld into the charge pipe. Comes with the pigtail as well.
That's alright. I've been around the block a few times. He's talking about something different. He's referring to the MAP sensor, and even then, Hondata DOES NOT recommend it since they have their own 4 Bar map sensor. I know how to weed through the BS around here. LoL Although, I'd love to see where this lightened flywheel post is.
