My MAF sensor adapter is finally done, just installed everything. had to make the intake tube shorter to fit right so its kind of a short ram now. heres some pix.









yea kind of went with a red theme there haha

 

sorry to tell you but that wont work completely the way you want. you need some kind of box that will encompass teh whole filter

 

insane horsepower gain!!!!!!!

 

uhh... is there filter material on the tip of the filter? mine's a rubber cap. what is that ducting blowing against?

 

on mine its like an inverted cone... so i guess it might work... might

 

it works pretty good, no idea if its going to gain anything, i drove with no filter for a day, just the sensor and it felt alittle quicker and this is just like that. it backfires alot less now a has a little better tone.

the front of the filter does have filter material so its still getting air.

 

what do you mean by that? cuz i wanted to still get some of the air from the airdam and just get over all more air and its doing that.

 

the box could still draw air from the dam. i'm just not sure if it will actually suck much air from the dam the way it is now.

 

You could have mounted the filter in front of the radiator, then run your flex pipe from the filter to the MAF adapter. All cool air.

 

hmm interesting....

 

well the idea what when im driving the airdam will have air rushing in to the engine bay, and this way it is directing it into the air filter. i didnt necessarily expect it to "suck" the air in.

 

yeah it should work... did you just hook it up to the stock piece up front? just be careful around rain?

 

yea i just have it instead of the top piece of the airbox. nothing special.

Ran into my first problem with it today, apparently i didnt tighten one of the clamps up and the one going to the MAFS popped off and killed the car, no damage and an easy fix but gotta watch out from now on... scared the **** out of me though, it turned over and tryed to start but woudnt, didnt know wtf was wrong, but soon found it

 

make a shield that way it doesn't suck the heat from the rad.

 

So you removed the factory cold air box in favour of warm engine compartment air? The afm needs to be mounted level, just like it was originally.

 

As much as I may laugh every time someone does this i was guilty of similar attempts in my early days. I tried the cone thing, and on my 12a car I ran a duct from the air horn to the front of the rad as well. At least I never tried to turn the air pump into a turbo.....

 

Please don't do that.

 

does that really make a difference? what would it do?

 

my dad tried to get me to do that on my car by sticking a small fan into the MAF Sensor adapter... yea i told him that wasnt happening....
my pops is funny

 

it was just tiny trips, just to school, the bank and the auto parts store, no more than 5 miles total and on a good clear day. still not proud of it

 

You mean you can't make the Airpump into a supercharger? Damn!

 

WHO KNEW??? Completely blew me away

 

Did someone really try to do this? I want to see this. Not to try and do but just for the laugh.

back on topic. That really wont give you any gain over not having it. the inlet in the front of the filter is only about 1/8 of the total filter material. air will take the path of least resistance, and would only pull about 1/8 or less of total air. what would work if you want to fab up somthing that would work, and look sweet IMO is a box that shields the whole inlet/filter, and do one of those headlight scoops, along with the hole you already cut you would have nothing but cold air right there. aluminum would look and work the best IMO.

 

you wont be getting any cold air

The filter will suck air wherever easiest, the red parts of the filter showing are the most easy

 

yep
