Air Temp Sensor Kit 1/8in NPT

The Air Temp Sensor Kit 1/8in NPT is a precision temperature measurement system designed for engine builders, tuners, and automotive technicians who need accurate air intake temperature monitoring. This universal temperature sending unit integrates seamlessly into engine management systems, fuel injection tuning platforms, and data logging setups across domestic and import applications. AEM Electronics engineered this kit to deliver reliable thermal feedback essential for optimizing air-fuel ratio calculations, boost correction tables, and engine protection strategies in both naturally aspirated and forced-induction platforms.

The sensor features a 1/8 inch NPT male thread connection, enabling straightforward installation into custom intake manifolds, intercooler pipes, or plenum chambers without requiring adapter fittings. The aluminum weld-on bung provides a robust mounting platform, allowing technicians to fabricate permanent sensor bungs directly into intake runners or intake air tracts. This hardened aluminum construction resists thermal cycling and vibration while maintaining signal integrity across a wide operating temperature range, making it ideal for high-performance and race engine applications where measurement accuracy directly impacts tune quality and engine longevity.

Professional engine tuners and ECU calibrators benefit most from this kit, as intake air temperature data is critical for precise fuel mapping and knock control optimization. Installation works across turbocharged, supercharged, and naturally aspirated configurations—anywhere intake air density calculations improve performance and reliability. The compact form factor (3.35 x 2.4 x 3.8 inches) fits tight engine bay layouts, and the universal design eliminates platform-specific guesswork, making this an essential component for dyno work, street tuning, and engine development projects.
