Air temperature sensor

I'm looking for an open frame ATS with an 18mm thread. Junior timer connector even better. All the ones I seem to find from MegaSquirt etc dealers are NPT.

Dunno - thought the two sizes might be too close for that?

Hi Dave 
why not use an NPT one out of curiosity? I got some ali bosses for this thread from the states for my 2 MS installs

You can buy the thermistor from RS under part number 151-215 which is the same curve as the GM one used on megasquirt.
Then you can make up any fitting you like with a boss and some epoxy. I used them for measuring my intercooler water temperatures on the megsquirt. In fact they are so small, you can just tuck them into the air pipe.

Because my housing already has an 18mm thread and the wiring a Junior power timer connector. So one that simply replaces the existing one would be easiest - surely they must exist? Most vehicles other than US ones would have metric threads?SimpleSimon wrote:Hi Dave

MS can be calibrated for most sensors. The GM curve is simply the default one.Eliot wrote:You can buy the thermistor from RS under part number 151-215 which is the same curve as the GM one used on megasquirt.

I'm not sure I could be bothered making up one since ready made ones are cheap enough.

Yes - that's the sort of thing. Sadly, it doesn't say what thread it fits?

It could be about right going by the connector size ...
Maybe a phone call ?
M18 is lambda bung size isnt it ?

Think so. It's also the size of the CTS in my RV8 - so I sort of assumed it was a standard.bodger wrote:It could be about right going by the connector size ...

I''ve tried contacting an Ebay seller about one which looked correct. They couldn't tell me what the thread was. I've a feeling there is an NPT used which is similar in diameter, so difficult to tell at a glance.

M18 is bloody massive, cant imagine why an air temp would ever be so large.
Even the Cossie M14 is larger than most.
just adapt it down, weld/block up the old hole etc etc

You could say the same about an 02 sensor. Or CTS. The CTS on the flapper and hotwire RV8 is 18mm.stevieturbo wrote:M18 is bloody massive, cant imagine why an air temp would ever be so large.
