new intake, MAF problems.

[ben's93talon]

i got this new intake, its a 3" pipe and my MAF doesnt fit in there so does anyone think that i can cut a piece out of the pipe and screw in the MAF into it? would that even work?

Cut some of the pipe off and use a coupler to attach the MAF. You'll have to use a different air filter than the one pictured. It'll need to be the K&N one that attaches to the stock MAF.

You can use a coupler to connect the pipe to the maf's mouth and then for the filter side, get a k&n or autozone brand filter and run it open in the air and sell the one you have to regain some money back.

EDIT - Haha beat me to it ^.

i cant return it cause the dude that i was talking to at advance auto parts(MAF slipped my mind)has a 2g and he said bought the same one and he just cut it to fit because it was made to fit a honda , well so i cut it and it fits like it was meant to be there. is there any small MAFs that i can buy that are smaller and that will fit into it?

 

[Dsmj89]

Shouldn't have listened to that idiot, remember the n/t 2g's didn't have a maf on their intake so they can go ahead and install the intake with no prob.

Well, you could look into putting a GM maf and translator on the car. It will clamp right on the end of that pipe. Then again it's expensive and I don't think you'll see any gains from that on a NT.

damn,so how does it work without the MAF. in other words how does the 2g bypass it?

 

[Dsmj89]

I don't know much about the 2g n/t motors but as far as i know they read the air signal somewhere from a sensor on the intake manifold. The 1g n/t motors all came with the big ugly maf on the intake.

i found this round one that might fit into the pipe that all you might have to is cut a little bit of the end of the pipe off and slide it in there and then get the right adapter and re-wire it. and then find something to fill in the holes. once again, dont know if it would work because these ideas are coming off the top of my head.

how much is the gm MAF and what all do u have to replace?

You can not use that sensor(in the link) and I don't think that it would make sence to buy a Maf-t for a N/a dsm...
Just put your stock maf on the end of the new intake pipe
