my new custom CAI and MAF

As planned the new CAI and oversize MAF tube all in one
cant wait to get on the dyno once I tune the ECU properly with and without the oversized Throttle body.
should be done by the end of January !!!

you can also see the Swap of my DIY 350HR intake manifold that I installed few weeks ago

In for dyno result +1

That is some beautiful fabrication and welding on those intakes, I can't wait for dynos either!

Nice Work dude, appreciate that effort

Very nice welding on those pieces. This will be interesting to see what happens performance wise.

Dam man, Do you rally race with that car, its filthy LOL J/K... Looks good hope to see some good gains.

Wow. That looks good. Nice fit and craftsmanship

wow +1 on the craftsmanship looks great!

I know these are going to sound silly...

But whats the difference between this setup and say the Stillen Gen III's?

Why the narrow portion there halfway up the main pipes?

And why using both metal/cobb tubes instead of solid tubes all the way to the TB?

just to give some dimension on those pipes

its start from 3inch (filter) and goes to a reducer down to 2.5inch (63.5mm) for the MAF tube then it taper larger to 2.75'' (silicone hose )
I had a pair of throttle body machined to 62.5mm from 60mm stock.

as I said on the first post , I'm going to be testing this by the end of January !

I'm working on the tune with the swapped 350hr intake manifold right now
then the CAI will be next , once everything is tuned (Uprev tuner) I'm getting on the Dyno !!!

The Stillen gen 3 was my inspiration to begging with , since its a proved CAI for the performance given.
because my new throttle body is bigger I needed everthing else also bigger to aloud the same air flow.
using silicone tube was for the flex that is needed !

yup I'm going on the track with it , as I did with the previous Z (roadster).

I'm looking for the most gain ! hehe

its start from 3inch (filter) and goes to a reducer down to 2.5inch (63.5mm) for the MAF tube and keep the same diameter up to the Throttle body.

Thanks for the info! Look forward to seeing your positive results. :tup:
