Basic Intake installed

[spkrman]

as an update, with an ECU reset and some tighter clamping, no CEL thus far :)

[vodkalush]

whats the distance between the beginning of the filter too the clamp on the engine? aka how long is your tubing? and also the distance between the filter and MAF and MAF to engin?!?!

so to try and make sense of the post if you would be so kind as to give me some distances between the following:

Engine - ERG Tube
ERG - MAF
MAF - Filter

all tubing is stock, the filter is 3" away from MAF.

and CEL is back on... damit

screw the dam MAF... its gonna make me buy an ebay intake :(

[vodkalush]

ahhh, I thought you where still rocking the PVC intake...

I didnt think that you'd be able to get a good seal from the aftermarket filter to the stock intake tubing...

[spkrman]

stock tube, pvc, filter.

now its stock tube, rubber hose, filter.

[vodkalush]

ummm, I still think that the issue has somthing to do with tube lenght and the force of the air hitting/passing the MAF... I'll add an extender between my MAF and Filter and see if it makes a diff. if anything I will be pulling colder air in.

how are you mounting your MAF in these home grown intake's?

everything NEEDS to be air tight... duck tape and silicone should not be used to help the seal.

[vodkalush]

no, I'm using an intake "kit" type thing, sort of similar to what u'd put together (if i hadn't already bought the stuff i'm using now i would have just gotten the stuff from you...); I may just need to tighten everything some more..

[spkrman]

i'll throw on the NST pulley, see what happens, and then go back to the stocker until a cheapy tube pops up on ebay.

Little something I picked up.

patience is the key to make your DIY MAF mounting done!!

I decided to use this bling type filter coz i'm planning for CAI during summer.. I don't have all the fittings so I'll just stick to short ram type for now.
Here is what i did.. No CEL lit up..


btw, they are available at $10 each for those interested.. hahaha..

[Chris07LB]

You have some sort of support bracket, or is the filter just laying there, bouncing around while driving?

Where can I get one??? PM if need be :)

what the heck is that thing, btw?

Its worth $10, from there I should be able to get a shop to bend up some piping

[spkrman]

closer look... seems like regular rubber pipe, heated to have that flat space.

[Chris07LB]

Doubt it. Looks like a MAF holder that you can buy... few places around with our I.D., just have to look.

[mcdaddy]

Chris07LB – the end of the filter is stack just below the headlight housing.. though they aren’t finish yet, like I said I’m working on CAI & would put a bracket to hold the thing in place.

Spkrman – I’m just kidding.. I’m not selling this thing coz’ I know you can do it yourselves.. guess what? This idea is originally came form your first post .. it’s kinda ghetto!! It’s all made of a Hot Water PVC pipe with the reducers on it.. try again & you’ll see what I mean.. it’s worth to try.. get a vernier caliper to get things done..

* my next project is to look for a stainless steel pipe & replace the whole thing from throttle body to the filter..

mcdaddy have you/are you getting the CEL?

I changed my setup and it worked great for the first 40 miles (vrs's before where the CEL would come on after less then 10miles)... then after letting the car cool down (aka parked) I started her up again and I got the CEL.....

so far I did'nt get CEL on the dashboard but I'm keeping an eye on it.. I'll let you know when it comes up ..Anyway, I'm still looking for a stainless steel & will replace my current MAF mounting.
