Honda S2000 IAT's sensor wires?
I purchased a Stage 1 G-Box from http://www.nextlevelracing.com. I am confused how to install it. The instructions say to connect it to the IAT sensor. The G-box has two wires to connect, but I can't find the IAT on my 2003 S2000. I need to connect it to the IATs signal wire and sensor's power wire. Can you tell me where the IAT is and which wires to connect (what colors are the wires)?
Thank you

I'll look it up in my helms but I would advise you to return the "G-box." From reading up on their site, I'm very skeptical that they actually know what they're talking about:
"The G-Box enhances performance in multiple ways. First, it modifies signals being read by the ECU, causing an adjustment to the fuel curve, which is what creates the increase in horsepower and torque, as well as improves throttle response and shift speed. A second feature of the G-Box is it's "High-Heat Signal Correction." In short, when the engine compartment heats up, some sensors that relay pertinent fuel curve contingent information to the ECU begin to lose accuracy due to heat absorption into the sensor. The ECU then reads these incorrect signals, and leans out the fuel curve, which is bad for performance."
It's the exact opposite for our car, the ecu doesn't lean out conditions when hot, it richen's the mixture via retarding the timing. On the s2k, leaning the fuel curve makes more power/torque in a stock application as the car runs rich from the factory. Also, they list applications for the s2000 as 1990-2003, when the car didn't exist previous 2000 model year. Sounds like a gimmick, like the tornado.
