Yes i have 2 connectors in and they fit perfectly but they didn't come with the pins. Still waiting on the pins to come in, they should have been here last week, but it looks like a direct plug in harness is right around the corner. I'll take some pics of the connector.

HDP 10-26-2009 07:32 PM

Cool!

RCCAZ 1 10-26-2009 10:54 PM

Jumping on! Need 1 set up per HPD's request as well (with stock connector) once they become available ;)

proz07 10-27-2009 09:23 AM

also interested as a plug and play.

Alright i'll keep everyone posted. The connector things should have been here, i'm kinda annoyed at how long it's taking them. They said 3-5 days and it's been at least twice that long.

dudemaaan 10-27-2009 02:19 PM

Spoke too soon. The connector pins came in, and the order of connectors also came in, will be fitting it to the Bosch connectors later today, and will have about half a dozen harness' available at this time. This will make adding the sensor super easy.

dudemaaan 10-27-2009 04:07 PM

Here is the harness assembled, and the second pic is it plugged into the stock IAT connector.
Cost will be slightly more for the direct plug in type, but will make installation easier.

HDP 10-28-2009 07:51 PM

So how much?

dudemaaan 10-28-2009 08:49 PM

The direct plug in harness will be an extra $10

RCCAZ 1 11-01-2009 01:55 PM

Paid for mine late Tuesday evening. Dudemaaan shipped it first thing Wed and had it in my mailbox Saturday. Lightspeed on shipping and customer service. Thanks!!!

dudemaaan 11-02-2009 08:42 AM

No problem man. Let us know how it works for ya.

dudemaaan 01-17-2010 04:01 AM

Now sold here http://www.wannaspeed.com/iat.html With a few other things to come.

Force13b 02-04-2010 05:05 PM

Just ordered 1 :D

dudemaaan 02-05-2010 05:28 PM

Sent it out today

dudemaaan 02-05-2010 05:30 PM

I am moving the site around so the above link won't work. It can be found on www.wannaspeed.com it's under featured products.

Force13b 02-09-2010 12:00 PM

Showed up yesterday looks great. Can't wait to get my car back together and test it out with my meth system

dudemaaan 02-09-2010 01:06 PM

Awesome thanks for the pics, let me know how it works with the meth kit

Force13b 02-09-2010 04:13 PM

Just to clarify I'm running a haltech and would NOT need to recalibrate the IAT since it uses the same values as the stock IAT sensor.

dudemaaan 02-09-2010 05:29 PM

correct. If your haltech was calibrated with the stock sensor then no changes are needed.

wReX 04-19-2010 10:52 AM

Payment sent for sensor/harness. Guess it'll go in the stock location for now, know it's not too bad but any tips on preventing the heatsoak? Thanks. :icon_tup:

Phoenix7 04-19-2010 11:55 AM

just ordered!

dudemaaan 04-19-2010 12:46 PM

Cool just shipped!

infernosg 04-19-2010 04:47 PM

So these DO NOT work with the stock FC system, correct? Not that I'd have any use for it with a stock engine, but I am curious for future use.

dudemaaan 04-21-2010 10:41 AM

Yes they work with stock ecu's also. I have a lot of guys running them with the stock ecu and reported a noticed improvement. The sensor still reads the same temperature as the stock sensor it just does it more quickly.

That's good to know. I guess the real question was whether these work on FC's. Earlier in this thread you mentioned something about only FD systems - I really don't know how similar the two are or if they do use the same type of sensor.

dudemaaan 04-21-2010 12:56 PM

I know they will work on fc's when running the power fc. Probably not on the stock second gen ecu though. If anyone can find the test proceedure for the 2nd gen air temp sensor and report the correct resistance values I can confirm whether it will or not.

1Revvin7 05-01-2010 10:26 PM

Finally putting this through.... Thanks for offering this...

prrex4ever 05-18-2010 06:25 PM

Just ordered mine, looking forward to the install. Thanks.

dudemaaan 05-19-2010 12:39 PM

No problem guys, glad I could help

KaiFD3S 05-20-2010 05:21 PM

Please pm me info so I can order this, shipping to AK 99801 should not be much more if using Postal Service...Thanks...

dudemaaan 05-20-2010 05:55 PM

If you go to wannaspeed.com you can order it with whatever wiring type you want. Shipping is free worldwide.

speedjunkie 05-21-2010 06:58 AM

Placed my order! I won't be able to install or report back for a few months but it sounds like others have that covered already haha. I can't wait to install it.

FYI, I couldn't connect to your website by using any of your links, but I did get there going through a search engine though. Just in case anyone else has issues.

dudemaaan 05-21-2010 11:52 AM

Thanks for the info. The banners seem to work fine right now, but lately the servers have had some busy spikes which can cause loading issues with the site. Been trying to get that worked out.

prrex4ever 05-25-2010 07:52 PM

Thanks for the great service, got mine in a couple of days. Hopefully I can find some time to install mine this weekend.

KaiFD3S 06-08-2010 01:17 AM

Installed mine over the weekend and all I can say is what a great sensor, thank you for discovering this, I had my car parked after a hard drive, when I got back in the car before starting air temp was at 50, as soon as I start the car just with the little air it goes down to 49, and when I start driving it quickly starts dropping temp, my old stock sensor would normally take a while before going down...love this this......

Thanks

dudemaaan 06-08-2010 04:15 PM

Awesome, glad everyone likes it as much as me. Definitely a must have mod

93vrfd_houston 06-08-2010 10:50 PM

hey dudemaaan, i just sent in payment through wannaspeed. i just realized you are from brenham tx, i grew up in bellville my whole life. you been out there for a long time or did you recently move out there? i'm wondering if you have a shop out there or just the on line store?

later, mark

RICE RACING 06-09-2010 05:09 AM

I got one of these units of the dude along with adapter for wiring and it works a treat, reads 2+ deg C higher than actual temperature but that is no real problem given the excellent response of the sensor which is far far more important.

If I remember I will take a snap shot of my ECU logging from a (2nd to 4th gear run) 125mph run, its 25hz data capture and it shows the super responsiveness this items gives between gears.

Yeah been here for 20 years. I have a couple shops out here but mostly just use them for myself. I'm between Brenham and Somerville off of 36N. I've been thinking about building another shop to do installs and maybe have a dyno installed, but I fear the performance industry isn't what it used to be. Gas prices drove most everyone to smaller cars.

Rice would be nice to see the data you've logged with the sensor.

AzEKnightz 06-10-2010 04:22 PM

Dudemannn, I actually would like to order 2 of these sensors. I didnt have time or patience to read through the 12 pages. Can you please pm me the details and pricing for complete kit (sensor + wirings if necessary). or email me @ x_aze04@yahoo.com

Thanks in advance!
