From knowing nothing to having a Thunderbird supercharger on an m20b27i

-IAT sensor. I think I've read that there's a GM part that is pretty cheap. I haven't read up on how to plug it into the system (electrically). Any help on this would be super neat.

Any CarQuest will have both the sensor and the GM/Delphi connector. They may even be able to offer you the choice of the connector as a pigtail or as a kit. You could splice the pigtail in or crimp the pins and make it look factory if you get the kit (and the right crimpers).

What I meant was that I don't know which wires to splice into. Is it just some of the same ones that the airflometer is hooked up to now?

The AFM connector is a 5 pin that only 4 are used. You want to connect to the outer 2 used pins and doesn't matter which way you connect the sensor.

^Thank you sir.

I've slightly modified the throttle arm and plumbed up the crankcase vent tube. Next I've got to build an adapter for the m50 TPS out of an old m20 TPS I had. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. Gulp.

Cars and Coffee cranks back up 3/1. Debut?

I wish. It's likely not gonna be up and running til late March. There's just no way it'll be done in two weeks. But 6 weeks? Maybe.

Can this IAT sensor work with ms2? I like the low profile mounting and it's cheaper than a mug.

Whodwho says it very well could work. So it's on the way to me. For $7.00 shipped, I can hardly lose.

I got another support bracket made today. I think this one will alleviate all concerns of the M90 twisting off. It is now very stout.

Hmm..yes..continue.

Can you make another one for the front end of the blower?

After all, that's where the belt loads are being exterted.

There's just little to work with on the front end.

That is where the loads are, but now that the blower is braced top and bottom, and the twisting force is addressed, the leftover force is only tension straight down which, I believe, is pretty much under control.

If I can whip up something for the front without getting too tight in there, I'll do it.

Also, today I made the executive decision to use the, (gulp), Ford throttle body. It has the idle control and TPS built-in already and I think I can tell the MS2 how to listen to and control them. And it's clean looking. It hurts me a little knowing there's ford parts in my car though.

So the heat exchanger in the intake manifold was put in for the idea of lowering the intake manifold temperatures? I cant see that working very well, it may help a bit when the engine hasn't run for long but I think it will heat soak easily and then become a restriction. That said methanol on a setup like this may help to a huge degree.

It will have fresh cool fluid being pumped through it constantly. It's gonna be pretty effective.
