I decided to take a video of the Mazsport GReddy CAI with the AccessPort. This is with a few days worth of drive cycles on the "MM 2005 MT TURBO v1_4a" map.

I made my own CAI using 4" pipe (up top) & 3.5" pipe (down low). The 4" pipe comes off the MAF sensor (a piece about 11.5") and connects to a 3.5" 90 degree bend that passes thru the radiator support and goes down behind the reinforcement. The 3.5" pipe will fit but it was really tight. I had to remove the front reinforcement until I attached all the pipes then reinstalled it. My current setup looks like the AEM but with larger piping. Here is my thread which shows a few different versions of my old CAI before I arrived at my current setup....see page 2.

4 degrees above ambient, very nice!

 

That's enough proof that the k&n filter location is perfect where it is.

 

For those with a Greddy turbo kit and still running the Greddy intake and filter, here is a pic from a recently removed turbo. Kind of a mud like substance, not good for the turbo or your engine

 

^ Did that car have a catch can?

 

Yes, a Greddy catch can.

 

The GReddy foam filter is crap.

Most people don't keep it oiled either so I am not surprised to see that much dirt.

 

looks like what i get at throttle body from stock intake ......

 

WOW Brett! Are you the guy in the manual they are referring to when they mention harsh conditions?

 

ordered my mazsport cai about 2 weeks ago cant wait to see it!

 

DAMN!! that is lean
that that over 12:1 AF is already pushing and 13:1 at 6 - 6.5K !!! you are walking a VERY fine edge my friend.

 

That video was taken before Jeff had me dialed in.

I am no longer running lean but I now have a new issue I need to solve. It's either coil related or I have a clogged cat.

 

Since it's doing the same thing with stock or aftermarket coils Dan, I would check the cat.

 

From AP thread first post
FI cars should see high 11's to low 12's while in boost.
At all other throttle conditions, A/Fs should be in the mid 14s or slightly higher and 20+ on throttle lift.
Watch your A/Fs through the "equivalence ratio" display in live data.

I thought its ok to see low 12's while in boost?

 

Thread jack..
What's your AFR now in boost with the new map?
Thanks

 

I still have the mazsport coils installed so I cant say for sure what the problem is caused by yet.

 

Low 11's and then it jumps to low 12's at 6,000rpm and drops down the high 11's after that.

We appreciate your business, Scott

very good advice make damn sure the maf pipe and the pipe used when the maps were developed ---match!! if you have a bigger pipe it means more air is coming in than the maf can read. remember it reads velocity only. And at times if you use a longer or shorter maf pipe than the one used for the maps then that too can have a negative affect.
