We always put them in the charge pipe, post MAF, pre-TB. OEM put them PRE-Throttle body, we did the same.

How far apart do you space the IAT sensor from the meth nozzles?

With the aeroforce there's really no downside to tying it in if you are using a 0-5v sensor. I think you can also trigger a warning based on a sensor reading, so you could have a warning light for IAT as well as the LED for the meth pump failing. On a high HP car tuned on meth, I'd like to know exactly what's going on w/ the system if I'm going to be running the car hard, even if I do have the tune setup to pull timing if IAT's go up.

i didnt recall honestly , thanks for the info

3-4" after the Meth nozzles.

Thanks Louis.

Maybe my setup is different then most, but I don't believe I have 3-4 inches after the meth nozzles. I placed the meth nozzles in the charge pipe approx 2 inches after the MAF, which is about as close to the MAF as I felt safe going. After the meth nozzles there is a short amount of silicone piping before the throttle body, maybe 2 inches max? Anybody else have this issue?

Depends on the kit. On the A&A kit I had to have a custom upper pipe made to fit it all and it still wasn't ideal. ECS kit shipped me a pipe all setup and ready to rock. Just had to ask them to setup to pipe for meth.

Thanks, I have an A&A kit and am finding there isnt really any room. I may grind down the throttle body and mount it in there like somebody mentioned. Any advice on the specifics of doing this?

LegendSS28

Did anybody else have a hard time finding a nut that is 9/16 16, no matter what hardware store I go to they don't seem to have it. Also can't find a tap and die that is this size either. Also, if anybody has a completed pic of the iat relocation and doesn't mind posting, I would really appreciate it! The picture previously posted isn't showing up for me!

bump... would like to see this ^^ and i need to tap the manifold behind the tb? what do i need to get to do that?

Because of the LegendSS28 post I decided to recheck the threads on the CTS-V sensor part number 12614717. I got a stronger pair of reading glasses and went out into full sun light and it appears that M14 1.5 is a slightly better fit for the threads than 9/16 16. Seeings how GM now uses the metric system I would go with the M14 1.5. One of the things that hampered my thread gauge reading was the Red thread sealant that is pre applied to the sensor threads.

So with my ecs kit there really is not enough room between the maf and the tb to mount an iat and the nozzles. So i will be mounting it in the intake, what is better on the side or on top? Can someone describe the process to tap the intake, do i need to remove it from the car and what tools do I need? I don't want to mess this up it is a ported one from BER. I know the cts-v sensor is a M14X1.5, but i cannot find that tap size anywhere local. However i did find a Irwin 3/8-16 tap with drill bit. Could i use this? I need to do this ASAP!

LegendSS28

Im not sure you could screw it into the top, I think it would be too high and hit the hood most likely? Another option is to have a custom charge pipe made with proper spacing for the setup. That is the route I went as I was scared to drill into the intake, as well as couldn't find solid enough information as to exactly how to do it. Good luck, let us know what you do and how it goes!

zuluvett

I have seen other people screw it in from the top i just have to grind down a rib on the intake. i just need to see if i can use the 3/8ths tap.

SteveDoten@ARH

Some good info in here, just got the pn of 12614717 from Josh@A&A.

Don't have the IAT in my hand right now, but was told it's a 3/8 -18NPT tap that is needed going into the intake?

This is the same IAT used in the ZR1 and CTS.V 2nd gen it seems? (haven't ran the pn through GM yet)

I was emailing both Josh/A&A, Julio/Alky and talked to Don Kinder today, all great people for knowledge based on experience.
