Mk3Jake 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 Hey Guys, Got a question about intake pipes, been looking around and the only one i can find is the bonrath power rohr, alot of other cars seem to have one continuous pipe from throttle body to supercharger, what do you do with the maf sensor ? are these just home made pipes?thanks Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 the maf on charged cars is normally intake side not boost side. so pipe will go straight to throttle body, and maf will be somewhere between filter and charger. Link to post Share on other sites
Mk3Jake 0 Posted July 2, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2011 I see, is there any reson for that?! Also if my car was mapped with the maf sensor boost side would it be wise to put it intake side? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
Antihero1981 8 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 yeah all that boost will effect the MAF , dont think the maf would last very long and end up with bits inside the throttle body and head!def filter intake side! Link to post Share on other sites
jimmyb 2 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 hmmmm, mines where you lot are saying it shouldnt be and by the look of the receipt its been there for 10 years, it still pulls well, and it would be a shame to ditch the carbon pipes! although i can see where your coming from.

Mk3Jake 0 Posted July 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 I did what you guys said and put the maf between the air filter and the charger and it ran really rich, also was juddering on normal speeds and would barely start, changed it back around and runs perfect?! Is this because the car was mapped with the maf after the sc? Thanks Link to post Share on other sites
russj249 2 Posted July 3, 2011 Report Share Posted July 3, 2011 More than likely yes. but what it does show is how different the readings from the maf are from swapping it over. i think you'd have to ask united motorsports or something to find out which gives a better more accurate reading.

FishWick 21 Posted July 4, 2011 Report Share Posted July 4, 2011 What charger is it? The old Z Engineering kits were mapped with the MAF downstream of the boost, but they only ran 6 psi and the ECU could just about cope with that.Technically speaking, MAF should always be upstream of boost but if it works, it works. Leave it. Link to post Share on other sites
