I relocated!!!!!

[vxfilmer1000]

Well, i finally got sometime to relocate my MAF to my cold pipe. It runs alot smoother and i LOVE the no stalling only thing is it kinda hestate more then it didi before?? but other then that i love it i will take some pics today.


EDIT: Okay on the 1st is a pic of my MAF relocated and the 2nd picture is with my intake gone and some metal mesh stuff around my turbo and let me tell you, you can hear that thing spooling a mile away. The spool is sooo much louder now and i love it.

are you running a dual setup (bpv plus bov) or an open atm bov?

It hesitates more?

I want to figure out why before I move mine....

I relocated mine recentl as well, when I installed my hardpipes. I did not notice a huge difference idle or responsiveness, I have notice alittle hesitation also. I read somewhere that you should reset the ecu after doing this, especially if you are running the AFC. I did this, but didn't really do anything for me. I hope to fix it by retuning the AFC. I am going to try and download the map genius made and see how it runs.

how can it run smoother but hesistate worse?

I uploaded some pics on my first post

yeah i reset my ECU but it still hesitates a little bit.... Hopefully when i get DSM AFC it will fix that... Anyone know any other way to fix it for free (lol) cause i plan on getting DSM AFC but until then i dont want to hesitate

 

[vxfilmer1000]

anyone know were i can get DSM's AFC ??

The little mesh thing isn't that bad? I mean the trubo could be inhaling dirt, and be getting hot air from the fans. Hope you get that fixed.

Im with VIC, the hesitation is because youre sucking in hot air now instead of the cooler air. Hot air = shittier running msp

It makes the engine bay so much more open, I can't wait to do this with my SU hard pipes...

MAM is making hardpipes for the SMIC now too! Check under the force induction section

vxfilmer, please do report back regarding the hesitation issue after you put back an intake pipe.

I kind of suspect that it is the problem with the open turbo inlet as well.

 

[vxfilmer1000]

It still hesitated when i had my SRI on there, because i drove around for about a day with my SRI and it still hesitated then i just put that mesh stuff on there to see what it would do and it still hesitates

I relocated as well and I could not be happier. I left mine injen as a cold air intake by using soem metal tubing in place of the MAF. I could not be happier, no stalling, and I actually fell like i have less hesitation???

Did you remember to reset the ECU? don't forget to press the brake pedal and stuff when you disconecct the battery.

 

[vxfilmer1000]

yeah i did reset my ECU and press the break.... This weekend i will put my Injen CAI back on and just put a piece or pipe were the MAF went and then reset my ECU again and hopefully it wont hesitate as much...

 

[Notorious_V.I.C]

yea have a shop weld some exhaust piping or some kind of metal pipe to connect the the two parts of the CAI, it should be better then using couplers and or clamps.

Good luck hope it works

 

[vxfilmer1000]

What size pipe do i need to get to put in place of the MAF when i put my CAI back in? 2.75 ? 2.5 ?
