HTP Billet 4th Gen MAF Adapter - Page 2

HTPerformance · 02-08-2009, 07:35 AM

Excellent! Looks good Ilyak!

Is there interest in a Resonator delete? That would make the intake into a short-ram or warm air style full intake kit.

trooplewis · 02-08-2009, 08:35 AM

So are you going to remove the stock plastic intake pieces or leave them in place?

*IlyaK* · 02-08-2009, 09:44 AM

I'm leaving it as is for ever. The only thing I need now is a bracket...which I think Brian said he's going to create.

I need to find a local 4th gen to prototype a bracket on. If you are in the New England region, send me a PM. It would be helpful if you are close to OEM as far as the intake is concerned.

Thanks,
Brian

*IlyaK* · 02-08-2009, 10:34 AM

I can meet you halfway lol. Boston is like 3 hours away for me....but I do go to Chicopee/Westfield often enough (Exit 3 on the Mass Pike).

HTPerformance · 02-08-2009, 10:40 AM

I'll see if I can set something up closer, but otherwise that is a good option! Thanks for volunteering.

NP. It would to have to be a sunday evening though as that is the only time I head out to MA typically. But yeah.

HTPerformance · 02-10-2009, 02:23 PM

Alrighty, shipped out a few more of these today! Post up if you have one!

I'm curious what you wired it to? It almost looked like the wire was around the battery cable. With that kind of open filter how often do you have to clean the MAF sensor?

Madmax8

*IlyaK* · 02-14-2009, 10:06 PM

It's around the battery cable yes. It moves a lot less that way. I tried tying it to my strut bar but that's too far away so the filter still shakes a lot.

I clean it when I see my idle getting funky or somehow not normal.

HTPerformance · 02-17-2009, 02:12 PM

A member in Boston has sent me a PM, working on setting up a time to measure up a bracket!

*IlyaK* · 02-17-2009, 02:31 PM

Nice.

snowboi1289 · 02-17-2009, 02:50 PM

I'm going to have to buy one soon, but the only thing I dont like is the color. I wouldnt be able to get that color for other parts. That part to be exact would just stand out. I like the color and all, its just a it wouldnt fit in.

HTPerformance · 02-17-2009, 02:52 PM

^ Paint is a glorious thing! You can always change to whatever color you want. The surface anodizing is more of a protective finish to prevent oxidation; while it does have a nice color as well.

snowboi1289 · 02-17-2009, 06:28 PM

Yea, it is a nice color. Would it be good to powder coat it? I'm just not sure.

*ObsidianIce69* · 02-18-2009, 11:34 AM

Seems like this should work fine with a Z32 maf....but are there any actual benefits since i'm turbo and running a z32? I like the look but can see a benefit since i'm already blow through. Just curious!

You could certainly do that if you wanted to.

Yes this will work with the Z32 MAF. Depends really on what you are using now for your coupler mounting surface, this will provide a smoother airflow with the radiused inlet.

spreprts · 02-22-2009, 09:28 PM

Definitely interested if there is a price drop. Also interested in full short ram/WAI setup.

Price has already been lowered severely... but demand hasn't increased to compensate yet.

Nrw · 02-22-2009, 11:31 PM

Nice looking product guys. If I saw this back when I was looking for a billet MAF adapter I would have grabbed one from ya. Also a good deal considering most used ones also go for about that much.

I'm interested in this setup. How much for shipping to 80501 with the adapter and the 5" Amsoil filter? How's it coming with the bracket?

Did you buy one already? Otherwise someone else in Longmont, CO has...

Sending a PM with the details.

Still waiting to hear back from the local 4th gen. If anyone else is near Boston or up in NH, please let me know!

Thanks,
Brian

It wasn't me. I'm trying to get my Y pipe installed and will then start working on the intake. Will pm you when I'm good to go.
Thanks,

Glad you like it!

The button head caps weren't your style? I'll take note of that for the next batch if we get other feedback like that.

LiGhtSoUt · 03-03-2009, 07:46 PM

i just received mine yesterday and installed it def better then the cheap ebay filter and adapter that i had on... i actually used my stock air box to make it stay in place fits perfectly inside...

tigersharkdude · 03-03-2009, 09:54 PM

I will take some pics tomorrow, i just like being safe. no biggie

Can't wait! Good to see them in multiple different engine bays.

tigersharkdude · 03-04-2009, 07:18 AM

one other thing i wish the logo was cnc'd into the top not the side of the bracket

Funny you should mention that. We were talking about that last night.

Well, that is something we can change in the next batch.

I hadn't shown our CAD designer which orientation the MAF was in the engine bay, so the placement wasn't his fault.

tigersharkdude · 03-04-2009, 01:12 PM

Heres some pics

HTPerformance · 03-04-2009, 04:24 PM

Are you running a Cold Air Intake or some sort of Forced Induction?

The install looks good!

*happyricefob* · 03-04-2009, 06:51 PM

nice find...back in the days everything was expensive~~

tigersharkdude · 03-04-2009, 09:17 PM

its a cold air intake. i wish it was turbo'd

IC, I couldn't tell from the picture since the rest of the engine bay wasn't there.

Very nice!

HTPerformance · 03-09-2009, 08:54 AM

Looks like a couple FI guys will be using these shortly!

Looking forward to posting up their install pics.

Don't forget that we also have nylon pre-filters to keep the large particulate from ever hitting the filters.

*IlyaK* · 03-09-2009, 09:13 AM

Get that bracket already! lol.

No luck with the local guys yet to design the bracket. If I can't get measurement's this coming week I'll try to setup a time with you Ilyak.
