IAT Turbo Antilag Writeup (work in progress.)

Now ill start by saying that i'm still testing the tune and making timing changes so it actually works like an antilag but, here's how i set it up.

Things You'll Need
DHP or HPT
(I used DHP)

Tiny Tuner:
Because you'll have to make some changes that DHP doesn't have options for. Note: No longer needed.

Wire, Wire Cutters/Stripper, Heat Shrink, and Soldering Equipment
I used maybe 2 lengths of 8' of 18 gauge wire. I also have just a basic 40w soldering iron, a spool of electric solder, generic wire cutters/stripper, a damp sponge to clean the soldering iron, and a heat gun to shrink the heat shrink.

A Drill and Drill Bits:
This is to mount the switch in your choice of area.

A Closed Momentary Switch:
Meaning that the circuit operates normal when the switch isn't pressed.
This whole project has taken me about an hour to get everything wired in. Tuning it is a bit easier though.

Step 1: Wiring/ Mounting the Switch.
I Started out by drilling a hole in the shift knob, and drilling a hole in the elongated bottom part to run the wires. I would put it in a spot that is easy to reach. I then routed the wires through the bottom of the center console and out of the passenger side port in the fire wall.

Step 2: Soldering the switch wires to the IAT.

I ran the wire up and around the firewall, being careful to avoid exhaust and spinning/moving parts. I then chose the orange wire to slice in to. It is important that you only splice into one wire, not both. I then cut some heat shrink, put it on the wire. After that i stripped the wires and got them ready to splice.

Step 3: Tuning.

Now you go into your bin file and go to Spark>Base Timing>Air Temp Spark. make the full -40 table read -50 and save.

Note:
The minimum allowable spark advance does not need to be modded at all.

Here is a video of the IAT Switch in action (with the car off.)




Good Luck.
Ill update when i find a number that works on the min spark advance allowed table.

Whos video is this and do you have confirmation this is the process they used? I ask because i am very curious. Also when i did mine i found that just faulting the curcuit open with a normally closed switch did not work. I had to add 2 resistor paths one interrupted with a switch to get 2 different resistances through the curcuit or it got angry.

EDIT: i did not realize you retained the sensor. so nevermind on the second part of that. however, i am very curious if you get it working this way please let me know what settings you use. i will definately duplicate on my own setup. thanks.

that video sounds like it has a 2 step limiter of some sort

Ok, i made a discovery. You dont need to modify the minimum spark advance tables at all so that step is being removed.
 
Any update on this?
Looks like you tested with key on engine off your car, you test this on your car with engine running yet?
