ls/vtec--odd ball intake mani
 

im going ls/vtec. i noticed that on the intake manifold that there is no air charge temperature sensor and there is alos an additional vaccum source on the plenum. the throrrle body is also a little odd. the throttle body is a one piece design where as say mt b18b throttle body had a seperate piece that bolted on to the back of the TB, it has what i think are vaccum line goin to it. i looked thru the computer at work and i noticed that only the delsols with the b16 had these lil differences in comparison to the b18b, d16z6 and b18c1. my question is, do i need the air temp sensor, cause on my mani its blocked off from the factory, just a flat, elevated surface where it should be, and also does it make much differnce that the throttle body is dif? i still have the old b18b throttle body if the one i have is a black sheep. but i have no idea about what to do concerning the air temp sensor. ill be running crome but i wasnt sure if it could just self control that sensor.

IAT sensor can be relocated to the intake. This is why yours does not have it has many obd2 systems went this way


Throttle boy Im assuming you have a 1st gen b16a throttle body
