Dear Maxima Enthusiasts!

HTPerformance is well underway towards bringing you a new solution for your FI projects and DIY WAIs or CAIs. This is in response to our thread in the 5th gen forum: Gauging Interest: Billet 5.5+ Gen Maxima MAF Adapters and/or MAF Tubes To accomplish this we need to get 25 devoted individuals to commit to purchasing them for our first batch.

The specs:

3" 6061 Aluminum Tubing
Tig Welded MAF Sensor Flange
Bead Rolled Tube Ends

If there is need for larger sensor range, please let me know about your application. We can accommodate 3.125", 3.25" and 3.50" Sensor Housings as well.

Here is an example of our CAD renderings:

And our previous intake productions:

Introductory Pricing will be set at: $90.00 ($100 shipped to the lower 48 United States).

Please send $100 to sales@htperformance.net to join the group buy.
In your Paypal payment please note your Maxima.org username and that it is for the GB.

We also have options for air filters. Post up if you'd want a replacement cone filter as well.

Cheers,
Brian

Yes, exactly!

doublea · 03-06-2009, 09:34 AM

I just sent you a payment of110$ since I live in Canada, if that's not enough I can send the difference as soon as you will let me know.

Thanks you

Is the full intake setup available yet? I'm debating if I should get this, or wait for the entire intake to become available.

It will become available after this product release. This product is intended mainly for FI and those who want to make a DIY Intake.

I hope the CAD rendering isn't the exact MAF tube that's for sale here since that looks like the 6th gen MAF sensor.

Currently waiting on a deal for a 3" MAF tube from another member. If that falls through then I'll definitely be buying this.

PulsarGTS · 03-09-2009, 09:03 PM

How long will this GB be going on?

No, that is an example of our typical rendering/cad work, and the production pieces.

I wanted to also note that we have options for replacement filters that can be ordered with this if you are interested.

doublea · 03-11-2009, 09:13 AM

I will need a filter for my S/C set-up soon, what option do you have?

HTPerformance · 03-11-2009, 09:19 AM

What are the dimensions of your current filter? Or do you have a P/N that I can reference?

The piping that will be between the blower and the filter is 3". as for the filter I dont have any reference number.

AA

PulsarGTS · 03-14-2009, 01:19 PM

What will be the lenght of the piping? Any chance you guys could offset the MAF placement for us? The more distance we have between the filter and MAF the better for laminar flow and our sensors are very sensitive to it.

tonedef · 03-15-2009, 09:28 PM

good question

laminar flow is my concern with this piece

We have three options, I'll send you a PM with the sizes and pricing.

Typically we make these in 6-8" length tubing. We certainly can offset the flange placement.

HTPerformance · 03-23-2009, 09:48 AM

Thanks for your order nismomaxct

*rroderiques77* · 03-30-2009, 08:16 AM

I've got a Berk short ram. Will this work?

99Silvermist SE · 04-02-2009, 07:02 PM

I want one of these but I dont want to wait for 25 people to decide to get one.

doublea · 04-03-2009, 05:44 AM

It seem that the adaptor wont go in my car this summer ! I though a lot of people would have order it but I guess the economy force people to keep their money for the # 1 priority > food > paying the mortgage and school tuition... I'll def need to find a B plan.

Yes this will adapt to the Berk with some clamps and couplers.

Well, perhaps others are also looking at it with your eyes, and unless they see others moving on it are hesitant to commit... It is a catch 22.

We are working on a couple other ideas that will use the same MAF flange, so even if we don't get 25 orders we'll be able to get these made up with that batch. Don't fret!

greatnorthspec · 04-15-2009, 07:34 AM

I want one of these but I cant send you the money until next week.

doublea · 04-18-2009, 08:13 AM

When do you think you can possibly ship the 5th gen adaptor ?

Need more people still.

What we may do is to produce the flanges and see if there is more interest in the full CAI or SRI. Since they utilize the same flanges, we'll be able to complete these orders in that batch.

Cheers,
Brian

doublea · 04-21-2009, 08:43 PM

When I first order it I though that it would take maybe 6 weeks to get it, but at the actual speed that people are sending payment that is going to take a whole year before I get what I paid for 6 weeks ago. I cannot wait any longer than another 2-3 weeks max, if you cant ship by that time then I wont have a choice to ask for a refund.

slow_n_low · 04-23-2009, 10:02 PM

what adavantage does this offer? thanks in advance for no bs answers....

HTPerformance · 04-28-2009, 01:55 PM

This allows you to adapt a filter or intake charge-piping to your intake system.
You may see a very slight increase in hp/tq from a slight change in diameter, but I would not recommend purchasing for that reason alone.

This product is more for the DIY intake or for those going FI.

If you are looking for a full short-ram or cold-air type intake send me a PM.

doublea · 05-16-2009, 08:14 AM

I just sent you a PM.
