Just got the car tuned speed density, gettin rid of the MAF, but I need a coupler to replace the stock stuff. The tuner was talking he heard a fernco coupler from home depot in a specific size works, but hadn't heard anything more about. For those of you SD guys, what did you do? Does anyone make a conversion kit?

the fernco 3x3 coupler at hone depot should work just fine

Whats the advantages of getting rid of the MAF? Just curious. Thanks.

I managed to get the stock coupler from the throttle body to the air lid after I removed my MAF.

Hrm, you streched out the stock one and it made it? I'll have to see if thats possible. I'm worried about going with the fernco because I've heard they can crack lids because they are so stiff, but maybe I heard wrong? I'm also looking for something to replace the stock crap with, because I would like some smooth bellows, but if its stretched out it would smooth it out a lot. Gotta wait for this crap weather to pass to do anything with it anyways

It made it from my NW 92mm tb to my SLP lid and fit pretty nicely. It did smooth out some, but it is still ribbed like an accordian. Don't do that if you want a smooth bellow, but keep the stock bellow in case the smooth bellow doesn't work out.

This is false, I dont think there is much delay with a MAF either..

What i have. yes its on a stock TB but it is clamped down a lot. It better for bigger TB

yea...no.

unless you can move your foot faster than 3 milliseconds, your not going to out run the MAF signal. im pretty sure the computer knows what your doing before you do.

the only power gained is from going from the small maff hole to a open 4" pipe. Other then that its the same. I just like not having to worry about a maff or the troubles of having it tuned Ive been SD for 3+ years. Car was tuned in hawaii, then lived in missouri and -15 deg weather and now in florida and it is good everywhere

Why not just unplug the maf?

So far this seems like the cheapest priced, good quality product

Wow, I forgot about this post because it was gettin kind of old. Awesome replies guys! Thanks for all the info, that last 4x6 looks pretty good. To someone who asked about the benefit, I definitely noticed better throttle response, as per hp gained I would say zero probably. However, the main benefit, as my tuner was talking about, is that when you stay with the MAF, about a year down the road your A/F could be almost a point off without changing anything and letting the MAF and the computer control the A/F. However by going SD, it's going to remain the same by taking the MAF out of the equation.

As per unlpugging it, I've already done that. I want to clean the engine bay up and get a large smooth bellows at the same time to remove the stock crap

Why not go with the 3x6? http://intakehoses.com/Merchant2/mer...egory_Code=SC4 Did you go with the 4inch so you wouldn't have a problem stretching it over the tb? I think a 4in would be really large and require some major clamping down to seal it? Do you have a picture of that on your setup you can post? Thanks.

Ok, my tuner said that is what he saw on his car. I thought it was hard to believe, that's why I added "or something" at the end of my comment.

Is there any benefit? (I did a motor swap when I did mine. So I can't compare before and after.)

Since my comment is incorrect I will remove it. I don't want to spread false information.

Thats generous of you..

I know that when you go to a bigger cam, its wiser to tune it speed density because the overlap of the cam could throw readings off to the MAF, but sensors such as MAF and o2 sensors work very quickly.. Honestly, I cant recall why its better to use a speed density tune on stock-like or bolt on cars.. But I know due to cams having overlap its a better choice to run speed density vs MAF.. maybe MAf can be used to tune radical engines as well.. MAYBE, but right know I cant gather the information in my head to explain why or why not..


MAF and speed density are just 2 different types of engine management systems on cars.
