Accurate Intake Air Temperature Data for Your Link ECU Your ECU needs accurate temperature information to properly control fueling, ignition timing, boost strategies, and engine protection. The Link ECU Bosch-Pattern Air Temperature Sensor provides reliable Intake Air Temperature (IAT) data for compatible Link ECU installations and includes the matching connector, terminals, and protective boot needed for a clean custom wiring installation. It's an excellent choice for turbocharged, supercharged, naturally aspirated, engine-swap, and motorsport applications. Why Intake Air Temperature Matters The temperature of the air entering your engine can change dramatically depending on weather conditions, boost pressure, intercooler efficiency, vehicle speed, and heat soak. Your Link ECU can use IAT data for functions such as: Fuel corrections Ignition timing corrections Charge-temperature compensation Boost-control strategies Datalogging High-temperature warnings Engine protection strategies On a boosted engine, accurate IAT information becomes especially important as charge temperatures increase under boost. Bosch-Pattern Open-Element Design This sensor uses a popular Bosch-pattern air-temperature sensor design suited to measuring fast changes in intake-air temperature. It's ideal for installations in locations such as: Intake manifolds Charge piping Intercooler piping Plenum chambers Custom intake systems Proper sensor placement is important for obtaining useful temperature data. Plug & Terminals Included No need to search for the matching electrical connector separately. This package includes: Link ECU Bosch-pattern Air Temperature Sensor Matching electrical plug Crimp terminals Protective connector boot That makes it a convenient option when building a new engine harness or adding an IAT sensor to an existing standalone ECU installation. Perfect for Turbo & Supercharged Builds When air is compressed by a turbocharger or supercharger, its temperature increases. Monitoring that temperature allows your ECU and tuner to understand what's happening after the intercooler and make appropriate calibration decisions. For a turbo application, the sensor can be installed in the charge piping or intake manifold where it can measure the temperature of the air actually entering the engine. This is especially useful for: High-boost applications E85 builds Race gas applications Street turbo cars Drag racing Road racing Dyno tuning High-horsepower engine builds Great for Engine Swaps & Standalone ECUs The Link Bosch-Pattern Air Temperature Sensor is an excellent addition to custom engine-management installations including: Honda K20/K24 Honda B-Series GM/LS engines Nissan and Infiniti builds BMW performance engines Turbocharged engine swaps Naturally aspirated race engines Custom standalone ECU applications Key Features Genuine Link ECU sensor solution Bosch-pattern air temperature sensor Designed for Intake Air Temperature measurement Fast-response sensor design Matching connector included Crimp terminals included Protective connector boot included Ideal for compatible Link ECUs Excellent for turbo and supercharged engines Suitable for naturally aspirated applications Great for custom engine harnesses Supports IAT-based ECU corrections Useful for datalogging and engine protection Suitable for street and motorsport applications Give Your ECU the Data It Needs Your tune is only as good as the information the ECU receives. The Link ECU Bosch-Pattern Air Temperature Sensor with Plug & Terminals gives your Link ECU accurate intake-temperature information that can be used to maintain consistent performance as operating conditions change. Whether you're building a turbo K-Series street car or a dedicated race car, it's a simple but important part of a properly configured engine-management system. Accurate temperature data. Clean installation. Better engine management. Important Installation Note Verify the correct sensor calibration, wiring, mounting location, and ECU configuration for your application. The appropriate air-temperature sensor calibration must be selected in Link PCLink for the ECU to interpret the sensor signal correctly.
