rp is indeed purple, but it doesn't stay that way for long in the engine. I donno what would happen in the blower.

 

Pat

Take the SC oil dip stick out. Clean it, sand it and paint it white. Done

 

Hey guys. I got my new MAF housing from Pettit. They sent the housing itself and the filter that goes with it. I don't know if i'm missing something, but i've been trying for the past hour to get the original silicon coupling that attaches to the throttle body to slip over the new housing. Is this what i'm supposed to be doing, or am I supposed to use a different part??

 

Call James, he forgot to send you the tapered hose.

 

Roger that, thanks.

 

guys is there a reason the a/w intercoolers have the hoses routed in the way they come?

i think i need to call james too!

 

I had one on my shelf that fit. No need to call James.

Ray has changed the routing twice on mine - tells me that he will change it again when he returns to complete some mods.

 

Thanks Phil
the way the hoses are routed at delivery impeds the rb cai thing installation. i just wanted to make sure. The oridginal plumbing seemed odd to me.
thanks

Shameless plug-

The data logger that is used to do the SC PCM mapping is now available for sale. See Cam's site.

Thanks

 

I talked to James on the phone today. He is sending me the tapered hose for the new MAF housing.

 

Nothin' shameless about it as it was done in the appropriate forum.

 

Check it out, my MSD 8247 LS2 coils project worked.

How will you be doing the fueling? Int-X, PCM Reflash,,,

 

Juan it would be interesting to log some data with those new coils.
Christmas may come to me in april--i need a sticker that says " I have a logger"

just ordered mine last nite!

w00t!!

 

PCM Reflash. I've got everything mounted and in place. I'm not planning to work on it this weekend so next week everything should be finished. I just have to hook up all the gauges and finish the hosing.

 

Calibrations for the AccessPORT for the 6-port Pettit owners are now complete.

 

4port a/t Pettit owners Please

 

Your wish is my command. PM me.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

Yep. Next time I come over.

 

Thats great man--what did you find out about our flow?

The TB is good for #^$ CFM's.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

What do you mean? You mean MAF numbers?
To go to a flash, you should remove the idle bleed hose so that everything is going through the TB.
The MAF tube that Pettit is shipping is a complete piece of junk.
Besides the fact that it is 7% over-size, the taper is too close to the MAF and the inlet, being so soon after the filter, really screws up the flow.
That said, recalibrating the MAF signal to the PCM was a task, but I managed it. The idle ranges (flow under ~8 g/sec max) needed their own, different slope from most of the rest of the response curve.
Basically, what is normally a nice, smooth arc turns into a bit of a hula dance.
But it works.

 

Only when it is WOT. After that, it will only flow #^$/TA.
