Connecting outside air temperature sensor into inlet

[clowo16v]

I've had a sudden idea. Would it be possible to take the sender and wiring for the outside air temp from under the wing mirror, and put it in my airbox. It would then read the air inlet temp using the original LCD screen on the dash, and it would allow me to check the best places for cold air feeds, and if heat insulation is working etc.

See ya

Theories sound, but from my experience ive not come across a valver/williams which reads the temperature acuratly.......ever.

Mine testifed that the outside temp did not read over 5 degrees C this summer, and on the way to work this morning it was -11 alledgedly.

surely you can have it calibrated though?

Get a proper thermometer and see how out it is, my money is that you will be surprised.

And bear in mind a couple of degrees difference either way is quite a lot.

Its usually ok. a guy i work with has a lexus is200 and we have compared temps on a hot day and they were the same. Also its usually what it says on the radio giv or take a degree depending on where i am. My mates old valver used to read all sorts of temps though
