Product Description
The RIFE 'Hi Temp' IAT / Intake Air Temperature Sensors are ideal for intake air temperatures ranging from 40° to 485°F. These sensors come with ultra-fast response thermistors, which are 15 times faster and 3 times more accurate than traditional EFI sensors on the market. Faster response times and accurate readings allow for more precise tune adjustments, ensuring a safer and more reliable tune-up. The Hi-AT sensor series is mainly used for turbo and blower cars as an IAT sensor and for compressor outlet temperature measurement. Due to its high temperature ceiling, the resolution at lower temperatures is reduced. It's also suitable for other vehicle applications that need an extended temperature range. The sensor is optimized for accuracy and resolution in the 40° - 485°F range. Features include 1/8' NPT thread, a 15x faster response time, 3x more accurate readings, in-house machining and construction, a hard anodized CNC machined housing, and a temperature range of 40 to 485°F. Note: Unlike most Motion Raceworks products, these sensors, like most electronics, are not 100% Made in the USA. We try our best to source US electronic components, but we can't get everything domestically. This sensor won't work with Fueltech or Haltech ECU. For these ECUs, please use part number 52-1203 or click here. These standard IAT sensors can be configured and run as a 'Hi' version from -5 to 450 degrees F. Calibration setup for EFI systems: click on the links for Fueltech, Holley, and Haltech. If you need a different thread pattern or electrical connection, check out our full line of Air Temp Sensors here. Thermistors don't have a specific polarity, so when wiring, wire color or pin location on our sensor doesn't need a specific configuration. Learn about the benefits of a fast-acting intake air temperature sensor and proper IAT positioning and tips by watching the video.
Using the RIFE IAT Air Temperature Sensor is straightforward. First, make sure to install it in the appropriate location for intake air temperature measurement, such as in turbo or blower cars or at the compressor outlet. The sensor has a 1/8' NPT thread, so use the right tools to install it securely. When wiring, remember that thermistors don't have a certain polarity. You don't need to worry about specific wire color or pin location configurations. If you're using an EFI system, follow the calibration setup links provided for Fueltech, Holley, or Haltech. Note that this sensor won't work with Fueltech or Haltech ECU. In that case, use part number 52-1203. Regarding maintenance, keep the sensor clean and free from debris. The hard anodized CNC machined housing provides some protection, but avoid exposing it to extreme physical damage. Also, be aware that due to its high temperature ceiling, the resolution at lower temperatures is decreased. This sensor is optimized for the 40° - 485°F temperature range. Watch the video to learn more about proper positioning and useful tips.
