MATT RR Posted December 1, 2015 Author Share Posted December 1, 2015 Inlet air temp sensor i'd imagine thanks, is that something that's usually on most Supra's then and how important is it? Just curious as I didn't know it was there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tricky-Ricky Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Looks like the std one by the plug, and someone has moved it from the plenum to the pipe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeh the plug does look stock alright, any suggestion as to why someone would move it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frank Bullitt Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 Maybe for your ECU? Isn't it something to do with the VVTi MAF sensor? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Whiffin Posted December 1, 2015 Share Posted December 1, 2015 VVTi has the air temp built into the MAF. The sensor you have fitted must be for an external guage or if the car has an aftermarket ecu fitted? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Right that makes sense, cheers guys yeh it has an HKS f-con gold ecu, there is no gauges in the car other than a defi guage for boost Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
