Correct, but there are kits out there that come with 2.5" tubes.
I used 2.75", which was sufficient for stock block power at the time of development. However, it seems like customers are starting to push more and more power, with higher boost levels. I have built a couple of sets of 3" pipes in the past for those that intend on building their engines...but for the most part the 2.75" tubes will do the job. The V-2.0 will come with 3" pipes, and that should be more than enough to push the stock block to it's absolute limits. Upgraded MAF sensors are available with the kit too, for those that build these engines and want to run 15+psi of boost safely.

Why dont we just make 3.25" tubes?

Good question, I would think increasing the piping to much just in one spot will change the flow profile of the tubes. Not to mention you slow the velocity of the air down as it hits the larger boost tube only to ram it as fast as you can back down to 2.75" and through the TBs. If you could find a way to get bigger throttle bodies (maybe off a titan? have no idea if nissan has larger TBs) then you might be onto something. lol.

I have never personally tried it, but I am under the impression that the loss of resolution at lower airflow can make it difficult to tune low-load areas of the map. Where that comes into play, I am not sure. But I think the 03 Cobra guys start with like a 3.5" MAF tube and upgrade to like 4-4.5" since they are pull-through.
I wonder if there could be an easy way to just sort of restrict how much air actually passes through the MAF sensor, rather than having to put it in a larger tube? |

It was discussed a bit earlier in here that you can just move the maf closer to the wall of the tube and because you assume laminar flow through the pipe the velocity of the air moving near the wall will be less. I think if you go to big you will cause turbulence in the piping since they are relatively short to begin with and you need that smooth flow to be able to accurately meter it.

Nice work! How tall are those standoffs?

So if the sidewall slows down the air.....what if you made that sidewall slow it down more. What about roughing it up?

Very nice! That should give you more headroom than me.

How tall are those standoffs again? And what were your volts at 10psi before the mod?
