Hey, Nick, just currious what you did with your air temp sensor? I just finished my short-ram intake, but my air temp sensor is just hanging in the engine bay.

nicksprotege January-18th-2003 05:49 PM

I took the same kind of wire. same size and material and extended the wire... then drilled a hole in the intake tube and glued it in... you can see it, i think, in the cold air in bumper pic.

turbonium959 January-18th-2003 09:16 PM

Ok,I see what you did. But the sensor sends info back to the computer based on the wire resistance, and if you extend the wire, you might have engine light on, or some other problmes, and that is why I have not messed with mine yet. But if you don't have any problems, thats cool. Later.

Yea i heard about that but i have had no problems and my car still runs with the right air/fuel so..... I dont know how much of that resistant actually matters

speaking of 1.5l WHAT IN GODS NAME WAS MAZDA THINKING?!

Green Skanka January-20th-2003 02:02 PM

probabally the fact that it gets about 37 MPG if you drive like a normal person.

did the cold air intake make a noticeable difference even with the stock intake pipe.

nicksprotege February-14th-2003 07:31 AM

Well, yea, it let more air in than the stock setup. Obviously because if you look at the stock intake system youll notice it is sucking nearly in a vaccum. The end of the line is cold but has no opening in it at all. Take yours out. have a look. it will amaze you that the inlet is flat against the sidewall in the fender well. Granted with the stock piece its not as smooth flowing as a mandrel bent pipe( which im about to get) but its still more horses....also i made a scoop under my car on the intake side. so when im going about 60 down the road, cold air is being pushed into the intake. my highway speeds are much more stable and stronger now.
