I've had a search but can't find my answers (did find one amusing thread about flogging stuff for more that it's worth).

I'm after an Inlet Air Temp sensor and a Coolant sensor that I can plug into Megasquirt. You can buy them off efiextra for about £17 each but I'm just wondering what cars people have taken them off of at a scrappy? And how much effort recalibrating sensors in MS1/extra is?

Coolant ones are easy, just grab one that loos right an calibrate to suit,

IAT ones you need a faster reacting type than the water one, I use the green rover one.

calibration wise you need to enter three values for each sensor, 0 deg, 20deg, and 100 deg, some sensiors you can find a datasheet for, some you'll need to measure, which is pretty easy

Great thanks, I'll get to a scrappy soon and have a look.

Where have you placed the IAT? I was going to fit it in my plenum.

I use the Cossie ones,

Cheap of eBay new (non genuine but OK) and their calibration tables are readily available.

Bosch ones are also reasonably cheap and the calibration tables are published by Bosch.

If you have the figures, whatever you use, Megasquirt only requires three points on the curve to calibrate.

Was just scratching my head trying to work out why you wanted a clit sensor...

The clit is the sensor

 Is it A-Series only? I think it should be...
So when some joey comes on here about how his 16v turbo vauxhall is great compared to ours, he can be given the 'bird'...

You'll find I posted the resistance curves for the Rover SPI/MPi Green AIT and Rover MPi Brown CLT sensors.

I'm using both with Megasquirt and MS1/Extra.

No probs getting the temp sensor cals into the MS code.

Minivanless, but reluctantly happy living with the decision. There'll be another one day.
