I would hope 3.5, or even a little bigger, so you guys don't outrun the available MAF voltage.
lololol

I need to apologize I was bored and wanted to push some buttons. With what Ray posted I knew I would get everyone worked up. Thats why I just posted "To Late". I couldn't post anthing else if I would have it would have been obvious I didn't know what Ray was talking about.

Ahh. Great.
So legitimate questions are off-limits, but "pushing buttons" is OK?
I loves me some hypocrites!

going down in maf tube size while adding FI is never good. you can go up in size. peopel used to go up to 80mm very often but nowadays 90 mm (3.5 inches) is often used.
The Stock MAF is mounted in a 3-3/8"ID tube...



And zoom is right, what you don't want to do is this...

The original Int-X version didn't come with a MAF tube at all.
Then they started shipping a plain machined 3" aluminum tube with a MAF adapter for the A/T folks.
The tube was only 4" long, so it wasn't useful for actual measurement of MAF values - it was just to assuage the transmission controller and show it some load.

No. That is what came with my kit. I am working with PTP to get it fixed. This is actually why I have been posting so much about what the tube size "should be".

All I know is that the housing that is being released with the flash is a little narrower than stock, and bigger than what they released with the int-x tune.

I love your contributions.
You are quick to slam me for the detailed, methodical assessments I make, but you are too lazy/inept to just walk outside and take a ruler to a tube under your hood.

I'm certainly not lazy, and I can use a ruler/calipers/measuring tape better than you can read a dyno sheet... but using my mad measuring skillz would accomplish absolutely nothing.

Your "methodical assessments" in this case are clearly based on the assumption that I have the new housing... which makes them FAIL, since I do not... yet.

Here's a suggestion: Use facts as part of your methodology... instead of dumb assumptions/fuzzy math.

I'm starting to appreciate you on a comical level now. Thanks man...

Welcome back to the Pettit threads

Hey I love you to sweety.lolololol

I love it when you push buttons. It's the negativity that gets spuied towards the same person that gets old specially since it stems from things in ancient history.

I don't think anyone on here has a problem when you ask specific technical questions or correct any incorrect information that anyone else may have posted. That brings different points to light which is one of the reasons we get on the forum to learn.

I have never said not to push buttons. I myself on another forum told you it wasn't the same since you stopped pushing buttons.

So I don't think I'm a HYPOCRITE. You hurt my feelings. I think you should apologize right about now.

LMFAO!!!!!

Zoom wanted me to post a question, as I just spoke with him. How can you "Peg the MAF" at 5.9v when it only goes up to 5.0v?

You can't. I don't know what he is talking about. 5.0v is max.

Yep. I checked. I really don't care.
