Custom ported and CNC throttle bodies, upper and lower manifolds by Synergy Composite

Ok I did a little research.

The TB lip is 2.81" at its largest. That tells me the Z1 post tube is around that size ID since it has to slip over it. Now its not hard to slip over but it's also not that easy. So I'm going to guess the several inches of the z1 post tube is around 2.7ish inch ID.



Now the OEM MAF section is only 2.54" OD which is why you see a bulge. The post tube is being forced into a smaller size. The silver pipe is 2.5" OD with the same ID of the OEM MAF tube. So forget all pipe before that, I'm running about a foot of 2.35" ID pipe with the MAF sensor in it that then opens up into the post tube that's 2.7ish ID that then goes down into 2.6" (TB opening lip) then 2.48" (right at the butterfly plate and port matched into the manifold) of the TB.



So if I at least replaced the foot of 2.35" ID silver pipe and OEM MAF section with 2.75" OD pipe, not only would it fit pretty well into the z1 post tube but it'd also lower the huge gap (2.35" to 2.7ish" now, to 2.63" to 2.7ish) I have right now.

I do have one update. I haven't touched my mpg in a long time. Its normally 22-23. It's been a week or so since I put the parts on and I've been driving everywhere!! Work, 3hr trips, etc etc. I do 75-80 on the highway. I've got maybe 600 miles so far and this has happened...it's gone way up.

That's sucks about your tuner good luck with it, I did see a few 2.75 slip in Maf housings but I don't remember any weld in tubes

you need custom 2.75" intakes asap, the MAF housing will be your big restriction.

synolimit

Still looking for a tuner that doesn't charge an arm and a leg. I like a few but when I know a uprev license costs xxx and you tell you change double, it's not cool. I'd rather have you lie and tell me the tunes labor is more.

Where's a 2.75 OD MAF housing I can weld to 2.75" OD pipe? I know a place for subis up to like 4" OD pipe.

Do you KNOW the cost of an UpRev license?
I do, and I know it's retarded cheap... But you can't NOT pay the park up... So... Just gotta bite that pillow and bend over.

Yeah the IPS tuner I've known for 5 years and friends with. He charges $150 uprev, $100 to rent dyno from IPS because he doesn't 100% work there, just a stop by tuner, and $200 for him to dyno my car. If it takes a hour it's the same. If it takes 5 hours, it's the same. For me at least. All others he charges $250 to tune. Subis he doesn't have to charge for uprev!! I miss $350 tunes, or custom etunes for $80.

I know uprev sells the weld in MAF flange but not pre welded to a pipe. so you would have to find a local fabricator to make the intakes for you.

synolimit

Cool, thanks! Ill check now.

Lol a fabricator. You don't know my build thread do you?

That wasn't meant to be arrogant or anything! I just love DIY. Check my thread.

Was that 700 including the Uprev license, or on top of it? I had always assumed that it was going to be 500 for the Uprev, and ~200 for a tune.

I already have uprev tuner, so we'll see where that gets me.

Syno. I'm going through Motion Lab 7.5 hours away from you in Charlotte NC. Iirc Adam told me it's like 450/475 flat rate for a turbo tune not sure if they'll cut you something sweeter being NA. When I heard that cost I about $hi+ coming from dynosty at 150$/hr. Your other option would be Smokey's there in Cleveland! They have tuned two or three 370's I've seen on their Facebook so they might be somewhat familiar with them by now

You lost a motor right? Dynosty?

Checking smokeys now. $525, not bad! I'll call tomorrow. And actually Akron. A block from my mortgage company and old tattoo shop!

Yes. I lost my motor on their dyno. No signs of improper installation of anything on my end. No Hydrolock no bull$hit. just a dead motor and pat on the shoulder. I have no way of looking at graphs or data logs to see what may have even caused it at this point, but the general consensus from my knowledge, my mechanic and members of the forum it was pre ignition. 525 for a tune I didn't feel was too bad myself and I would've taken my car there but being that its also FI and when I had asked them about tuning my car they were a relatively brand new shop to my knowledge I decided against it. but that's been a year and several cars(for them) ago.
