What can be stripped ?

Re: What can be stripped ?

Nice link. Wish they followed up.

I swapped the VAF in my XR4Ti for MAF... that was a long time ago and it had a tuner box. I dobt want to go that route.

On another note, using 3 inch spectre couplings and some exhaust pipe; my intake is done. It rubs a little but makes a huge difference in upper end power. I popped a cell pic on the "daily" thread. Will put it here once I get my phone.

Pic as promised.

^Nice. Here's something. Guy says changing to a MAF didn't help peak too much, but did well under the curve. And he did it with a cheap hobby micro controller. I've had an Arduino that I haven't had a reason to put together and try out for a while now. Might have to pull out the soldering iron.

I was messing around with my built intake. I think I am going to move stuff around a bit later. Instead of piping the IAC into the intake tube, I am going to give it it's own push on filter mounted right to the valve body. Not for performance so much as cleaning up the engine bay.

It won't idle if you do that. It's piped into the intake so the VAF can see the air that's going into the engine through the IAC. I tried that first, and it wouldn't work. You CAN however totally remove the IAC and use the screw on the throttle body under a rubber plug to set the idle to clean things up a lot.

I may do that then. I really dislike that hose... its 3 feet long!
