How to install Vector GM HSRK (Heat Soak Reduction Kit)

[midnightG6GT]

1. Unplug your factory Mass Air Flow Sensor (MAF). This can be done by first pulling the gray TPA lock backwards on the MAF sensor connector if your vehicle has one. Next press down on the back latch and remove the plug.

2. Insert the plug you just removed into the Heat Soak Reduction Kit and insert the other end into your MAF

3. Now locate a good position for the HSRK sensor. Here are a few tips
Locate the sensor in DIRECT airflow if possible (in the inlet tract)
Locate the sensor as far from major heat sources as possible
Locate the sensor in an area that's easy to install such as a silicone coupler

this is a pic of where you could place your sensor


4. Using a stepper drill, drill a hole in your mounting area that's just big enough to fit the sensor. if you are drilling into a coupler you can drill small and squeeze it in, if you are drilling in a hard surface pickup a grommet from your local parts store that fits the sensor.


also don't over-drill your hole you want the tightest fit possible. remember no one likes a loose hole.

Can you run that by me one more time please. J/K

I don't care so much about a lose hole I will stick it in any hole I can find.

I heard it works better with a Crab Intake.....


j/k looks good. Does the cord come in designer colors
or did you add that red?

Do you have a pic of the stock sensor and the new one side by side? It is the top sensor in the pic right?

Re: How to install Vector GM HSRK (Heat Soak Reduction Kit)

The stock sensor is in the MAF housing.

Gains from hsrk?

Re: How to install Vector GM HSRK (Heat Soak Reduction Kit)

they dont sell them anymore (I was told).

Mine didnt work for me. I think I had the wrong platform or something.
It worked too good for mine to keep up....thus sending it into burst mode which
in turn retarded mine a tad. This cause a hit in my MPG's as well.

I was told it works on some and doesnt on others so I tried it. No luck for me.

Is an iat sensor the same thing? And too cold of air made it dumb?
