I am using Buschur's MAF pipe.

 

lol, I was just out to lunch and some guy in a Benz SL55 gave me the fingure.....i wonder how my wastgate sounded after i flew by him at Mach 3!

 

I'm actually redoing all the lines on my car in braided lines, except the Radiator hoses, those are getting covering, the fittings are more expensive than the hose.

 

Well, tuning this thing is proving to be more difficult than i thought it would be. It looks like im going to have to dump the MAF soon. Jack, what is the maximum flow of the stock MAF?
im seeing 2450 Hz at about 7500-8000 rpm. i have the fuel cut set at 2500, im not sure how much higher i can go. Im thinking of bitting the bullet and getting a AEM soon...

 

Any suggestions on finding the proper fittings for a stock turbo? I'm not sure about the oil return tube but both coolant lines and the oil feed line could be switched to braided lines.

I don't have the turbo back yet and I'm not too familiar with braided hoses but I'd be willing to give someone a few bucks if they can help. I would assume these would need to "flow" at the same rate the stockers do.

Well I'm way here

 

Just get it professionally tuned. It'll work fine on the MAF.

 

It should meter okay till about 2700hz, and it should read over 3000hz but it may be inconsistent over 2700... I think once your moving enough air to go over 2700hz, I think the MAF Honeycomb may collapse into itself at this point..

 

the one thing that does concern me is if the ECU can mathematically handle values over 3000hz.. What I did was scale my blowthrough meter so the curve reads lower at higher RPM, then I would still have a good range of tuning within the parameters the ECU can read.. But it throws off what the ECU sees as airflow.. so you have to tune accordingly..

 

I wish Pro flow was still around, then i would have a Blow through setup. Thanks for the info Jack, im going to move my Max Hz up to 2700

 

braided lines are easy, I need to find what size thread the banjo fittings are.. I was planning on doing that instead of using the stock lines.

 

Is the BR-FP3065 compatible with an aftermarket radiator?

From what i've read, several people seem to have issues with clearance..

Looks like a very, very promising turbo nonetheless.

 

Hey Nez,

Don't know if this would help, but take a look at this thread from the suby forums:

It's a custom made blow through set-up for an STI. Harman Motive made it & I know they tune Evos, so maybe it could made to work for an Evo.....

It's worth a call.....

 

No, It's a tight fit with the stock radiator. I know for sure it won't clean the Koyo racing radiator.

 

I have the FP 3065 and it does fit with the Koyo radiator.

 

Is that with a dump, or recirculated? One seems to lend to much more adjustment than the other...
