I think I can tune my car to work correctly with the intake. I'm currently using a piggyback ecu with a 3D map. I have the ability to adjust my timing if needed.

 

hey al have you found any more people to jump onboard with problems????

 

I installed by stock intake back and it does hold the boost !!

Hey Al;

You re-flashed my ecu with the typhoon intake, do you need to re-flash back to stock intake? Probably not, but I just want to make sure I don't run into any problem down the road.

Thanks
Alvin

 

ok lets get this topic back rollin! hey al find any more people with problems???

 

[b] Well I Am One Who A Had The Same Problem With The Typhoon Intake I Felt Rape Bye K&n I Paid $236 For The Piece Of Sh!!!!t. For Two Months My Ran Like Crap. How Can They Post 14hp Gains Like That An Say It Works Like The Stock Air Filter,they Need To Show Me My Money Back With Intrest Please.al Thanks For Getting My Car Running Hard Like A Dubble R Son Give Thanks Much Props.i Will Call K&n Again And See What Up.

 

I think we have enough guys here - now we need a volunteer to print this thread out and fax it over to K & N and see what they can do to help us resolve the mystery

 

No, the K&N panel filter is less restictive than the stock filters period. It will only help flow.



What piggyback are you using? Street tune or what?

 

Three letters, folks...H K S...

 

I also have the typhoon system but I have had no problems at all with it. Runs perfect and pulls hard. But the difference between mine and yours could be because I run a EBC so the recirculating nipple on the intake is plugged up as well as the one going to the head. I am not sure if that would be the difference but I definitely don't have any issues with this intake...

 

I had problems with the intake kit also. I called K&N tech. line, their tech. guy said flip the MAF over ,turn it 180, and reinstall. also disconnect ground for 5 min. to let ecu reset . My car runs great again !

 

How about two letters folks, B R

 

i dunno that im willing to take a bet that flipping the maf will fix the problem.......

 

I am interested in buying one cheap to use for testing. Anyone looking to sell, please send me a PM with the price they want.

Here is an email I sent this morning to K&N with a link to this thread in it. I'll let you know what responce I get.


I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this, but I thought I would pass it on. You have many unhappy EVO owners that purchased your Typhoon intake only to have their car's performance worsen.

Actually rotating the sensor "Might" help.. If the turbulence/issues are caused by turbulence or slow airflow through one portion of the MAF, rotating it will likely help..

Now, the only thing I'm not certain about is if there are issues about rotating it, that is, is there really a reason "This side is up" from what I can tell orientation doesn't appear to hurt the sensor and it really cant hurt to try it.

 

i was curious... what about changing the filter altogether? say like go with some no name brand filter/name brand filter and keeping the k&n pipping...?
