DIY cai?

synolimit · 08-01-2014, 04:08 PM

Ok all done.

Instead of running the CAI like the Stillen I had before, I decided to change it up a bit. Since my piping is now bigger I also want it to flow faster and better. So I took out the 90* bend the pipe took to sit behind the bumper and kept my 45* coupling and ran the filter down into the wheel well. Bigger, better, faster, more power!!!!

Since I won't be able to drive to the tuner with the new MAF housing I modded the system so I could drive there with the OEM MAF housing and right on the dyno I can swap it out to the new MAF housing. August 8th can't come soon enough!

Here's everything I took out. I even re-ran the AOS lines which saved some weight haha

i just stumbled on this thread. how did your dyno tune go?

synolimit · 10-21-2014, 02:09 AM

fine. i guess the tuner had some issues with the 13 ecu not wanting to play well with UPrev but the timing, AFR etc are all ok. we dynoed with everything on the car but the new CAI, then installed the bigger MAF tubes, then tuned everything with a rescale of the MAF etc. picked up like 15/15 which is normal i think for a NA tune.

I can try when I wake up. It's just a 45* bend. Nothing special.

So what would happen if you put jwt pop chargers in the bumper with the mafs up there on the oem sized pipe then ran 3" intake piping all the way back to throttle bodies?
