IAT intake chip

I bought one when I was **** faced one night.

I think I threw it away or something.

My buddy said it would work. I knew it wouldnt do anything, I just wanted to prove my buddy wrong. Which I did.

And all it is a little resistor. You ca get them for like $.10 at Radio Shack.

James, I'd delete the link and just describe the item. They're uptight about ebay links on threads.

It very well might be a resistor for the IAT. Joe, I and a couple of other guys have played around with this idea in the past (using 15 cent resistors from Radio Shack). I would not bother unless you're having some real strange issues or have an AODE.

Good luck.

Speaking of this very thing

Joe & JT were having a good discussion about this on a recent thread

It just kinda fell on down in the pile of threads

JT ... did you or Joe come to any conclusions

Grady, I've been afraid to talk about the IAT thing much since what was happening for Joe and I was counterintuitive to what should have been happening.

The car indeed ran better and was less prone to detonation with the puter thinking I was seeing room temperature intake air (when in fact, my IAT temps were getting upwards of 200*F). I still think the IAT has some effect on the AODE performance but I obviously am not into the EEC speak enough to have a clue. I can only go with what I observe and feel. So I just tinker around with it.

For James, we should remind him of what Grady pointed out before. The IAT starts pulling timing around 206*F (if that sounds right Grady). So when I was fooling the computer, I was running with *more* timing than when I had the IAT installed. Again, I should have been more prone to pinging, not less. That's the counterintuitive aspect to me.

I've been meaning to chat with Joe and see how he's been making out. For a stick driver, Justin (Badstang) tried running a resistor IIRC. I know we chatted about it a bit a summer or two ago. MLC also had some very good input.
Thanks for asking Mr Grady.

As Hissin stated, I did mess around with the resistors a little bit. But in reality...I still haven't formed an opinion on how I feel about using them yet There's a difference, and it isn't bad, I just don't really know if it's all that great either though. I'd mess around with it some more but I have other issues to resolve with the car at the moment
