As an observer this build is frustrating. Can't imagine how JWillis feels.

yes, those are backwards.

And that crimp on your Maf wiring is a HUGE no no, get them to fix those ASAP.

should be soldered properly to keep your resistants at a min.

I have a feeling this will be the deal breaker, youll have her running in no time!

It looks to me that top has them the same way as the pics I took today but Evos look like they are the other way, any thoughts?

Anyone running GTR spark plugs? I don't remember where I got the idea but the shop is questioning me if they are right. I feel like I've seen lots of post about boosted cars running them but I don't remember where.

Thank you as always for your help!

im running the gtr plugs!

that picture is super odd, because he has them the same way you do!

Maybe this was before he modded it?!!?

I guess will wait until topz chimes in.

These are flipped. Look at the tab that seats the MAF plug to the MAF. They are turn 180deg. I really think the shop has your MAFs in backwards. I'll take a picture of mine when I get home.

FYI...I am running GTR plugs as is everyone else with a BP turbo kit.

Oddly enough backwards the voltage match but the car didn't run. We are going to try straightening the wires out and see what that does.

Make sure they use marine grade shrink wrap so its waterproof.

You can't use the Y-section from your Stillen kit without modifying the MAF housings. It is designed to "pull though", (when on the S/C intake) and by flipping it round (in your engine bay) you are trying to "push" the air in the other direction.

The only way you can get it to work is by re-drilling new holes in the MAF sensor housing to have them mounted 180 degrees to what they are now.

Also, since the Y-pipe is only 2.5", you will run out of resolution on your MAF sensors in no time.

When EVOHUNTER comes back in the spring, I'll have this system working perfectly...pushing this kit to the limit, or as far as the belts hold :).

I look forward to seeing that. Topgunz car didn't run out of MAF, why would mine?

I was only at 4.2 volts. I think they are in backwards in the pic I posted. That was before I realised they were wrong. The slot opening in the bottom of the maf where you see the sensor needs to face the front of the car.

Basically, if they didn't modify the maf, they can't be in that y pipe the right way. Moding the maf mounting tabs took me about 2 minutes each with a dremmel.

Thank you, I thought that might be the case.

They did open them up and had them in correct so there is something else wrong.

Did you extend the mafs again? Did they reach from the extensions stillen supplied?

I run gtr plugs. Its not those.

They were going to work on them this afternoon but I haven't talked to them so probably not. It will get done if I have to go do it myself.

Even a small vac leak wouldn't cause it to act that way.

The shop did also say they plugged the bov so it would stay closed. Not sure what that was all about.

My worry is a badly or wrongly wired maf wire.

He told me that also, I don't know what that was about either.

I may order a new set of MAF extenders tomorrow from Stillen and just start over.

MAF direction should be oriented so the locking clip is on the left. Both of mine are that way.

Not a bad idea. I don't like how they spliced yours.

That's what I was thinking, I just emailed Mark to see if he could overnight me a pair, I will see what he says tomorrow.

As I have mentioned in the past, I too had a bad MAF jumper cable that was not reading consistent. Once replaced we stopped experiencing the limp mode. The jumper /extension MAF cables provided by stillen seem to be very sensitive and prone to bending, just be careful with them when installing.

So I was at 9.5psi in Denver. That should be 13 at sea level. I think You have a pulley setup for more psi then me and you are at sea level so you might see 14 if you can avoid slip and flex. I have no idea how that relates to maf voltage increases. But you will be flowing 33% more air than I did. Might be pushing those stock mafs.

Anyone know the calculations?

Right now I have the impeller changed and the 2.75 on the sc but we have lots of options.

Your post are why I'm thinking of starting with a new set.

I do have a set of gt uprev mafs if you end up needing them.

I will keep that in mind.

It all apart again down to pulling the injectors but we still cant find a problem. we swaped MAFs, FAM plugs and cleaned the MAFs but the voltage stays with the Y pipe. They are pulling the y pipe with the coupler to make sure the straightener is straight inside it. The tuner say it is acting like it has a vacuum leak but we can't find one.

Stillen Air to Air setup
 

We added a catch can on the PVC hose then back to the way it was with the Stillen stock set up, now that it's not metered air could that be causing problems?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Nothing a tune couldn't fix and I wouldn't expect that to have any impact on getting different MAF readings.

Thank you but dang it, we are searching for something that could cause the tuner to see what looks like a vacuum leak and I thought that could be it.

Frustrating.

That wouldn't be a vacuum leak. Adding a catch can off the PCV system requires a retune, as I understand it, because you are running leaner since the vapors off the head aren't being recycled anymore.

I'm vented to atmosphere and it didn't cause MAF issues.

Okay we will keep digging, something just isn't right. Stillen is sending new MAF extensions over night to check that off the list.

Top pointed out in your picture that you (and him) have filters on those hoses, that's way cleaner than my set up. Do you know where you got them?


Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Cant you just stick the old pipe on there to see if it is related to the new setup or not? That way if she still doesn't idle you can eliminate the piping as a problem.

Just get them from summit racing or something. They are called breather filters.

They even sell them at O'reillys. That's where I got my nice metal mesh ones.

But for this exercise you could just pull those hoses off both ends and throw them out completely. Nothing will get hurt just starting the car and letting it idle.

Sasha sent them with the kit.

He would be correct
