Default OEM IAT sensor. How accurate?

I am doing a typical B series turbo build and I want to monitor IATs. I want to have a temp gauge in my console to see where they're at. So, two parts here. How accurate/quick to respond, is the OEM sensor. And can I get that data from the ECU instead of running a second sensor?

Otherwise, what would be my best bet? A thermocouple and whatever the gauge things are called? (What are they called?) Auber Instruments (http://www.auberins.com/index.php?ma...products_id=19) sells a gauge that would work and isn't too badly priced.

bump. Someone's gotta know. IATs are important, someone has to have done this.

A TunerView II or RD 1 will display real-time data from the ECU. IAT included.

Info available on the right side of http://www.hrtuning.com/

Ok, but how accurate is the IAT sensor Honda uses? I heard about the Tunerview and it looks pretty awesome. For what it can display and everything, the price isn't even bad.

The question isnt displaying the data at this point, it's how the data is gotten.

The OEM Honda IAT sensor is pretty slow to respond. Call Tony at T1racedevelopment, he knows of a very quick-responding sensor but I forget who makes it.

We use the GM IAT sensors and they're as fast as they need to be.

I keep reading and people say you can only use the Honda IAT with Hondata.
