Default 102mm MAF/TB guys - come in

I'm curious what folks are running for an intake hose. I have an FTP 104mm lid, TSP 100mm MAF, and a NW 102. I'm going to start injecting meth soon and I'd like to have something better than the trimmed rubber sewer line coupling that I am using now in which to mount the nozzle.

The silicone hose that comes with the MAF is an inch too short.

Intake hoses does not sell one an inch longer.

I've tried a trimmed down rubber hump hose and it is way too stiff. . .would put way too much pressure on the FTP lid.

Anyone have a solution better than the sewer line coupler?

I got a 4" x 4" silicone hose off of amazon. The one that comes with the maf is ~4" x 3".

Thanks. Im assuming thats the hps one? Did you still have to trim to get the angles to work? Every time I cut one it looks like trash.

No idea why TSP sends you one that will not work.

I actually just got a piece of 4" rubber pipe connector from home depot works good. Not to switch the subject but do you guys have any issues with stalling at slow speeds going from part throttle to closed throttle with the TSP MAF?

My HD coupler is not taking the heat well and I dont want to put a meth injector in it.

Stalling as you describe...yes when I had a bad tune. You need to make sure your tuner is using the IAC as it was meant to be used.

I bought a 4" 22 degree hose (pretty sure thats the degree) from intake hoses. it was under special angled hoses or something. I had to trim it though.

My tuner is not a big fan of the TSP MAF suggested I switch to a smaller 85MM SLP MAF and its better but it's not 100% . It's just when if your going less than 30mph bip the throttle a bit 5-10% and then try to slow down 0%throttle it wants to stall almost always especially if the engine is cold when the engine is hot it's not so bad but not 100% it wouldn't be so bad if it was a 6 speed, but an auto is a pain. Again sorry for getting of the subject I just need to talk to some people who have the same set up and see what's up.

Sounds like he needs to make the iac track the tps to a little higher level...at least I think that is what my tuner did...I had that exact problem with mine, also an auto...it is certainly not a MAF issue. Dont suppose you are in New England?

VandykeTA thank you, I had thought 22* was too much, but now ill give one a try. Thx.

I just double checked my email. It was a 22 degree hose. I just trimmed some off both ends and boiled it to make it a little more flexible.

I got a piece of 4" hose and mounted everything up except it. Then I got some calipers and measured the distance from the maf to the tb on the top and bottom. Seems like it was 4" on the bottom and 3.25" on the top. Then i marked it on my hose and cut it with a table saw and it came out perfect.
