Give Your Link ECU Accurate Intake Air Temperature Data
The Link ECU Air Temperature Sensor with 1/8" NPT thread is a simple and reliable solution for measuring intake air temperature on standalone ECU and performance engine applications.
Accurate air temperature data is critical for proper fueling, ignition control, boost strategies, and engine protection—especially on turbocharged and supercharged engines where intake temperatures can change dramatically under load.
This kit includes the sensor, matching plug, and terminals, giving you the components needed to integrate the sensor into your engine harness.
Why Intake Air Temperature Matters
Your ECU uses intake air temperature to understand the temperature—and therefore density—of the air entering the engine.
As intake temperatures change, your Link ECU can use this information when calculating and correcting engine operation.
A properly installed air temperature sensor can be used for:
- Fuel corrections
- Ignition timing corrections
- Charge-temperature monitoring
- Datalogging
- Boosted engine monitoring
- Engine protection strategies
- Intercooler performance evaluation
- Diagnosing heat-soak problems
Perfect for Turbo & Supercharged Builds
On a boosted engine, intake temperature can climb quickly.
Being able to monitor post-intercooler air temperature gives you valuable information about how effectively your intercooler system is working and what temperatures the engine is actually seeing.
Your tuner can then use that data when configuring the calibration and appropriate engine-protection strategies.
1/8" NPT Thread for Easy Installation
The 1/8" NPT threaded design makes the sensor easy to incorporate into many custom intake manifolds, charge pipes, and sensor mounting locations.
It's an excellent choice for:
- Custom intake manifolds
- Turbo charge piping
- Intercooler piping
- Engine swaps
- Custom standalone ECU installations
- Race-car wiring harnesses
Plug & Terminals Included
You don't have to source the matching connector separately.
The kit includes the electrical plug and terminals, allowing your installer to properly terminate the sensor wiring as part of a custom engine harness.

Ideal for Custom ECU Installations
This sensor is a great addition to builds running a standalone ECU, particularly when the original air-temperature sensor is being eliminated or the sensor needs to be relocated.
It's especially useful for K-Series swaps, LS builds, Honda/Acura applications, Nissan/Infiniti builds, BMW performance applications, turbo conversions, and custom race engines.
Better Data Means Better Tuning
Your ECU can only make decisions based on the information it receives.
The Link ECU 1/8" NPT Air Temperature Sensor with Plug & Terminals provides the temperature data your ECU and tuner need to properly monitor changing intake conditions.
For boosted applications, it's an inexpensive sensor that can provide extremely valuable information about what's happening between the intercooler and the engine.
Monitor the air going into your engine. Tune with better data. Protect your investment.
Installation Note: Sensor location matters. For boosted applications, intake air temperature is commonly measured in the charge-air path after the intercooler so the ECU can monitor the temperature of the air actually entering the engine. Verify the sensor calibration, wiring, and installation requirements for your specific Link ECU before use.
