K-type thermocouple as IAT probe.
I have a K-type thermocouple that was intended to be used as clamp on EGT probe, but I want to slip it inside my post-intercooler intake track and use it to record IAT. Any reason that this will not work?
If you haven't ever played with a thermocouple, please dont post. I will try it out just to see. I cant imagine why I would not report SOMETHING. It might not report correctly or timely, but it is a start. |
Never played with a TC but i did do this .

There is a nice Delco IAT sensor that is designed for quick response and an automotive environment
I can look for the part # if you want...I think it was about $20 last time I ordered one K type will work..but it is designed for a much broader temp range..and the resolution wouldn't be the best for the application |
K types are usually fairly slow to respond to change as well.
