*studdering*
Thanks for the help on this, everyone...

 

I ve had the cone for almost a year now and not one problem with it.

 

Owned!!!

I have an agency intake kit on mine EVO VIII and no issues what so ever. It idles fine and it pretty much stock. I know MAFs are sensitive and maybe it's a defective MAF sensor. I know you said it was new and all but that can be the culprit. YOu can always but some MAF cleaner they sell at autozone or your local parts dealer. Try that out, or you can have a crack on the pipe somewhere.

Good luck to you sir and fixing it

 

A couple of things...

1) This particular filter has been shown to work on multiple cars without affecting the MAF. The question is, why on this car is there an issue?

2) l2r99gst has contributed to many threads in the ECUflash forum, so he has some credibility you don't...unless you're trying to impress some newb's...

vwjeff, the question is why would you spend $80 on a filter when you can get the same one on Ebay for $20? So who's the douche bag now?

 

I had one on for many months and had no issues. The maf adapter had a gasket which is sandwiched between the MAF and adapter for the cone... is this gasket there? Was the adapter overtightened and slightly crack the MAF anywhere?

 

Al is a great stand up guy and has been doing this flashing and such since the Evo's came state side.

Doing a custom flash for a car with many mods is the best way, that way it is custom talered to your car. With having alot of mods this would be best due to the car being so far from factory spec.


I think what you ment to say was... how you can NOT do a custom flash for a car with many mods.

Am I right?

 

Maybe you can't read. I offered him help. I just asked for him to post logs and ask the question in the ECUFlash forums. I was going to help him for free rather than have him drives hours to AMS and pay hundreds. I know you don't understand about tuning cars since your head is too far up DBs *** to understand anything else.


Thanks for reiterating your lack of intelligence regarding tuning MAF based cars and fuel trims. I'm not here to educate you, but you proved that you don't have a clue with your statement above.


I won't even comment on the rest of your childish remarks. Grow up and get a clue. I simply called you out on your love for DB and you're getting all pissed. DB could sell you a bag of **** and if he told you it made his car faster you would order 2.


Edit: P.S., I have posted extensively in the ECUFlash forums on this very topic. I have done reasearch and posted about MAF scaling, fuel trims, scaling injectors, and how tuning affects all of these on a MAF based car. I have even explained why running a breather filter is stupid on a MAF based system. Maybe you can read up and learn something instead of talkign about 'moms'. I even tested this very filter, although I got it from Ebay for $12, not $80 for DB.

 

I beleive I posted why there is an issue. The filter more than likely was NOT installed correctly onto the MAF, or the MAF was not "somehow" put onto the intake boot correctly.

So how do I get the credibilty your talking about. I have helped quit a few people on this board tune there ECM. 1 member bought a Buschur 35r kit and needed help tuning his ECM for his new injectors. I sent him everything he needed and he went out and ran a 10.8 at over 130mph on his stock long block Evo.

Just cause I dont contribute to every possible thread on helping someone out in the ECU Flash board or every board for that matter, does not mean I have no idea as to what the h*ll I am talking about.

Also I guess that I would rather spend $80 over $20 knowing I have the BEST DSM/Evo shop in the country backing me on my car.

Now who is the douch bag?

 

There we go again. Can you please get off your knees?

Keep your opinions to yourself. We KNOW you love DB. We KNOW you think he is the BEST shop, BEST tuner, has the biggest d!ick, etc. Dude, just settle down. You can still send your money to him whenever you want.

 

post logs... OK I am sure he can do that.

You are right, I dont know how to tune an Evo with EcuFlash... that sh*t is rocket science

How is what I posted not helpful? He said Dynoflashed tuned the car. I am more sure Al has tuned more Evo's than you or just about anyone else on this board.

I am also sure Al knows were to "set" the fuel trims ect... for this filter.

Your right about 1 thing, it is really dumb to go 10's at 130mph with a breather

I rest my case... good night ladies

 

Boy, I would quit now if I were you. You are looking dumber and dumber, although most people probably already picked out that little fact from your spelling.

Set the fuel trims? Hahahaha. You don't set the fuel trims at all. And you are sure Al knows where (not were) to set the fuel trims? I beg to differ. I have seen numerous tunes that were absolute ****. But, hey Buschur says he's good, so you believe whatever he tells you.

And what does going 10s at 130 have to do with fuel trims anyway? A car can be tuned like crap for daily driving and closed loop operation and run times like that no problem. What does that have to do with closed loop tuning, injector scaling, fuel trims, maf scaling, etc?

Listen vwjeff, I'm done arguing with you. You did all the work of proving my point for me already. I'm not going to beat a dead horse. Have a nice day.

 

There should be absolutely ZERO issues with running our open element filter on the car, even without a tune. NO tune is needed to run just the filter on any EVO. The fact that it is throwing a lean code is very odd. I think the filter must have a leak around it, not seated to the MAF or something. I'd venture to say we've sold 1,000 of those filter kits and there are no issues.

As for the breather hose on the valve cover. DO NOT LISTEN TO SOME OF THE ADVISE BEING GIVEN HERE. Do NOT re-install it to the turbo inlet hose. All it does is suck the crank case vapor/oil out of the valve cover and fills your intercooler with oil. The OEM's wouldn't put it there if it wasn't required by fed. emmision standards.

 

l2rgst, you have something against me or what? When you reflash your car and outrun Jeff then open your mouth. Seems you are the trouble maker in this thread.

More and more DB's everyday. Add yourself to the list.

 

Thank you David. I am the original poster, and I want you to know I was not saying anything in particular about the air intake or the ECU flash. I am trying to understand why I am having this problem and how I can resolve it.

I can't see anywhere that there is more air coming into the system after the MAF so I am starting to wonder if it might be a faulty O2 sensor after all, but I will check all connections after I reinstall the Buschur air intake. Anyway, I thank everyone for your advice.

 

If it's a faulty 02 sensor then putting the stock airbox back on shouldn't fix it.

Do me a favor, call the shop tomorrow, get an RA# and send us your filter back, let me look at it. Make sure it's not ripped, the flange is warped or something. If all is good I'll send it right back no charge, if not I'll replace it with a new one.
