HV Air Temperature Sensor — Open-Element Fast NTC — Calibration Table, Pinout & Archive Spec
The HV Air Temperature Sensor (HV-IAT-NTC-01, archived at $81.00 NZD and actively stocked by DTech Motorsport) is an open-cage NTC thermistor charge-air sensor with a 3/8"-18 NPT thread. It follows the standard motorsport 2.5 kΩ @ 20°C resistance curve and connects to an ECU Analog Temp channel with a 1,000 Ω internal 5V pull-up.
