hiboost fmic help

[msp2fast]

i run a blow through setup on mine
works great no stalling

Did you relocate the MAF?

 

[Blake]

yes i did

 

[msp2fast]

I thought mine was a couple of inches short were the 2 pipes connect below the front grille. But, after playing around with the piping a few times I got it fit fit fine. The only thing is, the piping touches things in a couple of places and I have 95 durometer AWR Motor mounts, so it rattles a little sometimes.

mines touches the master cylinder and the bov is damn near touching the battery,i also have 95 dura mounts in my car and it vibrates like crazy

 

[msp2fast]

yes i did

i dont have enough room between the bov and the throtle body,look at the pic on the second page or look at mspHtown's pics he has the same problem

play with the cold pipe (the longest one) that WILL wear down the master cylander if it is hitting it... not a good situation there.

i just installed my wideband today and looking at the MAF sensor, it would def be a tight fit. it

Relocate the BOV and put the MAF where it is.

My BOV was in the exact same place on my hi-boost kit and I relcated the MAF... you just have to measure everything. The MAF is not that long and everything will fit, just measure everything twice before you cut!

Do you have some pics!

 

[msp2fast]

Here are some pics of my car with the Hiboost FMIC and a couple shots of my RX8!

looks good! what did you decide to do about the MAF? you should take the front plate off, makes it look more aggressive.

i would take it off but cops are anal in this state!Ive been driving it around the way it is,i learned to drive around the stalling issue but im going to measure the pipes and cut to relocate the maf.

 

[mspHtown]

they are usually strict here but i just put the plate in the trunk with a couple of screws. "just broke officer"

stop complaining and relocate the maf past the bov on the cold pipe, have a shop cut the pipe for you, it will fit. Look at mine.

regardless of if his will fit or not, you obviously did not read the thread. for starters, your bov is mounted lower on the cold pipe. and secondly, who is complaining?

 

[PlatinumMSP]

yes i did read the thread, i think that it'll be close, he would have to measure it but it looks like it will barly fit, secondly i think he was complaining when his car was stalling, as most of us who've ever owned a hiboost kit do when our kits cause our msp to stall, i'm just trying to help

Nah,im not complaining,i knew in advance that this is an issue i would run into,its just that i know that my bov is too far up the pipe so its going to be a close call,its the same with mspHtown's set up,and the only way it will fit somewhat decently would be to cut the 90 degree uppipe that hooks up to the cold pipe which im willing to do thats all,Thanx for the pics too,thats what myne should look like when i do that,you should do that 2 mspHtown im positive that it will work!
