Looks like the little dude needs to take a serious ****!

I'm so frustrated with this ******* car! I'm so close to changing it back to the way it was so I can have a car I can drive again.

The Time is come.....and YOU can drive Your "Beauty Z"! :driving::tup:

Don't give up Man! :tup:


BTW: I did not have my "Z" for a whole year (Sept. 2014 - Sept. 2015)
and had the worst time in my life!
But now "She" is with me and I have taken her back to the heart!

From a troubleshooting perspective, going back to the last known good configuration could be pretty helpful. At this point so many different parts of the car have been fiddled with, it might be worthwhile to hit the reset button on the modifications.

You could have them fab up two straight intake pipes with MAF mounts just leave the pipes open to the air. Place screens over the end so you don't suck anything into the engine and see if it'll idle that way. If it does you know the intake design was problematic. If it doesn't it's something else.

This is what im doing, im going to get a 5" single pipe with with maf extenders.

The 5" should flow more than enough, maybe the 5.5" pipe.

Stock has 2 - 2.5" pipes right? so in theory the 5" should work with the maf extenders.

hope your pup gets well!

Sorry about the puppy man, HUGE dog guy, hope he's ok,

The car issue are :icon14::mad:, Been there man give them sometime don't rush things. It'll be right .

Thanks man, i just picked him up and my other dog are going crazy.

I believe 5" is way more volume that 2-2.5" so that should work. With mine they are trying to SD tune it so it shouldn't be the MAFs.

Length being equal, a 5" pipe would flow twice as much as two 2.5" pipes.

A single 3.5" pipe would flow about the same as a pair of 2.5".... just a hair under.

With both my MAFs in 1 - 3" pipe, its maxing the MAF voltage at 4800 RPM with the MAF extenders. I think 4", but why not go 5" or 4.5" to be on the safe side.

I think ill go with a 4.5" single pipe, with both mafs in extenders, like sashas first design.

LOL, my wife raises Yorkies. They can get into trouble sometimes. Glad he is OK.

Stillen Air to Air setup
 

So we thought we tricked the car but it still idles like crap. The shop owner told me yesterday that it worked on one MAF but not the other. What would that mater with SD tuning?

So you guys know, I've passed on every suggestion you have made to the shop.

Love those Little Terriers ... I have 4.

Here is 'Fritz' [looks just like yours when he's clean and dry] - He is an Australian Terrier - if you mix an Australian with a Yorkie you get a Silky.
'Fritz' is a Toy-a-Holic [the squeakier the better] - he is on the couch slobbering up his toy Sausages.

I have a female Silky who is going to be 12 yrs old on Thanksgiving day.
Her name is 'Gia' - and she came from a large Italian family so I call her my 'gumad' [girlfriend on the side :-]

Then there is 'Max' - alias 'Wooly Bully' a Yorkshire terrier mix with Rocky Balboa.
He's the 'Tough Guy' in the pack.

#4 is Little Lily - the real boss of the outfit.
She's a year and a half old 6 lb. Yorkie ... and quite a character.

'The 4 Amigos' tied to a tree

Left to Right:
Gia - her job is to keep the trees awake [and she does a fine job of it, you'll notice that the tree behind them isn't sleeping]
Lily - her job [as I like to describe it] is 'Spontaneous Creative Interior Re-Design' [she is quite good at rearranging the house to suit her fashionable tastes when I'm at work]
Max - his job is to patrol the area and protect the pack - he's fearless.
Fritz - his job is proper care, maintenance, and instructional use of anything toy related.

Enjoy :tup:

Oh lord how do you keep up with 4 of them?!?
